The Atlanta Falcons are ticketed for a regular-season game in Madrid this season.

Atlanta will learn a date and opponent for the game in May when the NFL releases the full schedule for the 2026 season. The site is known after the league extended an agreement with Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where 78,610 were in attendance for a 16-13 Miami Dolphins' overtime victory over the Washington Commanders last season.

The Falcons played in Berlin last season and have participated in five international games to date. It will be the fourth game in Europe for the Falcons in the past six seasons.

'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. '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.'
