The Atlanta Falcons are set to continue their international presence, with the NFL announcing the team will play a game in Madrid, Spain, during the 2026 season. This follows the Falcons' game in Germany during the previous season.
The game will be held at the iconic Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid. While the specific date, time, and opponent for the Falcons' Spanish game have not yet been disclosed, the league plans to reveal full details when the complete 2026 schedule is released.
The 2026 season will feature a record nine international NFL games. The league has now confirmed at least one participant for each of these overseas contests. The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are the only teams officially set to face each other abroad, with a game scheduled in Australia.
Other teams with multiple international games in 2026 include the San Francisco 49ers (Mexico) and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are slated for three games in London. The Falcons have participated in four international games in franchise history, holding a 1-3 record in those matchups.
