The Miami Dolphins will be one of the teams to play in Madrid next season at Bernabéu Stadium, the NFL announced Friday.
The Dolphins will be the designated “home” team for what will be the first-ever regular-season game in Spain.

“We are thrilled to play the NFL’s inaugural game in Spain, a country of rich history, tradition and passion and home to a vibrant Dolphins fanbase,” Tom Garfinkel, the Dolphins’ vice chairman, president and CEO, said in a statement.
The newly renovated Bernabéu is home to Real Madrid and features a retractable field for American football.
The date of the game and Miami’s opponent will be announced this spring.
The Dolphins and the Chicago Bears hold marketing rights in Spain as part of the league’s Global Markets Program, which allows teams to hold events and sign commercial deals in those locations.
