March 3 (UPI) -- The Atlanta Falcons will host the NFL's 2026 regular-season game in Madrid, the league announced Tuesday.
The Falcons' opponent and the kick off time and date for the matchup at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium will be announced when the NFL reveals regular season schedules this spring. All of the home teams for each of the league's nine international games in 2026 have now been announced.
"We are incredibly proud to be part of an NFL regular-season game in Madrid at the iconic Bernabeu," Falcons president and CEO Greg Beadles said in a news release. "Atlanta and Madrid are a fitting match as we will host two of Spain's group stage matches in the upcoming FIFA World Cup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
"This opportunity reflects the continued global growth of both the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons, and we look forward to deepening our connection with our European community by hosting another sporting contest here at home and returning to Europe for the fourth time in six seasons.
