The international games have been part of the NFL’s long-term commitment to global expansion, helping to drive year-round engagement with fans all over the planet. Its been running for almost 20 years, with the first encounter taking place in 2007 when the NY Giants and the Miami Dolphins clashed in an NFL London game in front of 81,176 fervent fans at Wembley Stadium. A regular season NFL match-up has taken place in the English capital annually, with three fixtures held in the upcoming season, with Browns vs Vikings and Jets vs Broncos to face off at Tottenham Hotspur, whilst the Jacksonville Jaguars return home in a match against the Rams for the NFL Wembley fixture.
Other cities in Europe and elsewhere around the planet, such as São Paulo and Munich, have also hosted games in more recent times. This year, alongside Madrid, NFL match-ups are taking place for the first time, with NFL Germany kicking off in Berlin and the first venture into NFL Ireland in Dublin. In the near future, for the 2026-27 season, we'll see the NFL head across the pond with a game already pencilled in for Melbourne in 2026.

São Paulo tickets sold like hot cakes, with only about 10% of the approximately 150,000 people who queued online at Ticketmaster being successful.
So, if you’re keen to see the likes of Tyreek Hill and Bobby Wagner showing off their stellar skills, then don’t waste any time in sealing your spot for the epic encounter in Spain. Ticket demand will be extremely high in Europe and across the globe, especially among Spanish fans of the Dolphins, who already show strong support on social media. This event is more than just a game, it represents the beginning of a new chapter for the NFL in Southern Europe and a key step in expanding the league’s global fan base.
