The Bengals have been selected to play the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain as part of the NFL’s 2026 International Games. The game will take place on Sunday, Nov. 8 at Bernabéu Stadium and will air on NFL Network. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Eastern.

This will be the third time the Bengals have played internationally and their first time in Madrid. The team previously played in London in 2016 and 2019. Madrid hosted its first NFL game last season as the league continues to strengthen its presence in Spain and focus on international growth. Bernabéu Stadium established itself as a key venue for the NFL in Europe and is one of the most recognizable stadiums in the world.

"We are excited to take the Bengals abroad again and build upon the incredible support of our global fanbase and help the league continue to grow the game of football across the world," said Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement Elizabeth Blackburn. "This Madrid game is a special opportunity to showcase the passion, energy and community that define the Bengals' fandom worldwide."
