The event is officially part of the NFL International Series for the 2025 NFL season, a global initiative designed to bring top-tier American football to fans around the world through regular-season games played outside the United States, and a significant step in the league’s broader effort to grow its European fanbase and global presence.

The NFL oversees every aspect of the 2025 NFL Madrid Game — from team selection and logistics to broadcasting rights, marketing, and fan engagement — working closely with local partners in Spain, including the City Council of Madrid (Ayuntamiento de Madrid) and Royal Spanish Football Federation (Real Federación Española de Fútbol – RFEF), to host the game. This coordination ensures that the match meets the league’s global standards for safety, venue setup, and entertainment, similar to how the NFL manages its games in other cities around the world.

Where Will the 2025 NFL Madrid Game Be Held?

The 2025 NFL Madrid Game will take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, one of Europe’s most iconic sports venues and home to Spanish (and beyond) football (soccer) giants Real Madrid CF. The outdoor stadium has a state-of-the-art retractable roof, hybrid turf, and a seating capacity of over 80,000.

Two NFL teams that will participate are the Miami Dolphins, confirmed first as the designated home team, and their opponent, who was announced just recently – the Washington Commanders.

Given that Dolphins vs Commanders is a Regular-Season game for the 2025 NFL, no prize pool exists in the traditional sense. And that’s not only because of that but because the most popular American football league in the world isn’t a tournament but a professional league where teams compete within the regular-season schedule for playoff qualification. Financial rewards come through revenue sharing, broadcast rights, and team performance over the season — not through a direct prize distribution for individual games

Features of the 2025 NFL Madrid Game

The 2025 NFL Madrid Game follows the standard match format used for all regular-season NFL games. It will be a single game of four quarters, each lasting 15 minutes of regulation time. The winner is the team with the higher score at the end of the fourth quarter. If the game is tied after regulation, it proceeds to overtime under standard NFL rules — a 10-minute extra period, with sudden-death potential if one team scores a touchdown or safety on its opening possession, or until one team leads at the end of overtime.

In other words, it’s a one-off regular-season contest.

Who’ll Win the 2025 NFL Madrid Game?

According to current odds, the Commanders are the slight favorites versus the Dolphins. Given this, if you were to pick a straight-winner (money-line) bet, the Commanders would be the safer choice (though with a lower payout).

Here are a few good markets to consider:

• Moneyline (straight win) – Betting on which team wins outright. Since the Commanders are the favorites, the payout is smaller; the Dolphins’ win line would pay more.
• Point spread – For example: Commanders −3.5 (they must win by 4+), or spread + total combined: a spread of −3.5 for the Commanders with an over/under of 49.5 points.
• Over/Under (Total points scored)
• Team totals/props – Such as one team’s points over/under, player-specific bets (e.g., anytime touchdown scorer), etc. These are more advanced but often offer value.
• Live/in-game bets – Once the match starts, in-play betting may allow you to take advantage of momentum shifts.

Many major sportsbooks offer NFL betting lines. For example, Bet365. But, don’t forget popular US bookies: FanDuel, BetMGA, and DraftKings. The number of various markets offered by them on NFL games in general is huge. That’s why each is considered the best online American football betting site by specialized reviewing platforms and bettors worldwide. Note that if you’re in Europe (or betting from Europe), ensure you’re eligible to use services if these operators first.

The NFL International Series was officially established in 2007, marking the league’s first sustained effort to stage regular-season games outside the United States. The inaugural game took place on October 28, 2007, at London’s Wembley Stadium, where the New York Giants defeated the Miami Dolphins 13–10 — a fitting coincidence given that the Dolphins are returning to make history again in Madrid in 2025. Over the years, the series has expanded dramatically, so much that each of the 32 teams competing in the NFL right now have been granted rights across 21 International HMAs (International Home Marketing Areas), which is the NFL’s program that gives certain NFL teams the exclusive rights to market, engage fans, and pursue business opportunities in certain international markets for five years.

The 2025 Madrid Game marks the next major expansion of the International Series — bringing the NFL to Spain for the first time and extending its footprint to a fifth European nation to ever host a regular-season matchup.

Since its launch in 2007, the NFL International Series has experienced steady and impressive growth in global viewership — transforming from an experimental showcase into one of the league’s most successful expansion projects. As the number of annual games increased to up to four per season in 2013, average live attendance, say, in London, UK – where, historically, the vast majority of NFL International Series games have been held – consistently exceeded 83,000, often surpassing that of U.S. stadiums. The 2017 game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Baltimore Ravens recorded a peak UK audience of 1.2 million viewers on Sky Sports. U.S. audiences remained strong — with many London games averaging 4–6 million viewers on American networks.

Standout teams include the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have effectively become London’s “home team” with annual appearances, and the New England Patriots, who have been used by the league to drive international popularity due to their global fanbase.

The 2025 NFL Madrid Game will be broadcast globally through the NFL’s regular media partners:

• In the United States, it will air live on NFL Network, and possibly CBS or ESPN, depending on the league’s 2025 broadcast rotation.
• In Spain and other parts of Europe, fans can watch through DAZN, which holds streaming rights for the NFL across several European markets, including Spain, Germany, and Italy.
• Globally, the match will be available via NFL Game Pass International on DAZN, which provides live streams and replays worldwide.

Additionally, highlights, condensed games, and behind-the-scenes content will be featured on the NFL’s official YouTube channel and social media platforms, ensuring fans from every continent can experience the historic Madrid debut.
