Shifting to Berlin, NFL excitement will be in the air as the Indianapolis Colts face the Atlanta Falcons on November 9 at the Olympic Stadium. This game is significant as it will be the fifth regular-season NFL game hosted in Germany, following successful matches in both Munich and Frankfurt.
The journey continues in Spain on November 16, where the Miami Dolphins will challenge the Washington Commanders at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium, home to Real Madrid. This will be a historic event, marking the first NFL regular-season game ever held in Spain.
International action kicks off during the first week of the regular season when the Los Angeles Chargers will compete against an opponent yet to be announced on September 5 at Sao Paulo’s Corinthians Arena. Keep an eye out for the exciting reveal of their adversary, as the NFL prepares to release the complete 2025 season schedule on Wednesday.

He further emphasized, “This year’s lineup promises thrilling confrontations spotlighting several of our star athletes, bringing the excitement of American football directly to fans around the globe. It is a clear indication of our commitment to expanding the sport’s international reach while striving to elevate football to a truly global stature.”
