The NFL will host its first regular-season game in Spain in 2025 at Real Madrid’s stadium

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — The NFL is headed to Spain in 2025 for the first regular-season game ever in that country. The league announced Friday at the Super Bowl that its international slate of games for the 2025 season will feature a game at Real Madrid’s iconic Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. “We could not be more excited to bring the best of the NFL, the best of our teams and star players to the more than 13 million passionate fans in Spain and partner with one of the greatest global soccer clubs in Real Madrid in a truly world class and innovative stadium,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s head of international affairs. If the Chiefs get out there to Spain, we’ll make sure to have some fun.” The NFL has been expanding its international presence in recent years with owners voting in December to authorize the league to host eight games internationally each season. “I would like to express our deepest gratitude to you and to let you know that it is a great honor for Real Madrid to host this international event with the NFL over the next few years in our stadium,” said Emilio Butragueno, Madrid’s director of institutional relations.
