The Atlanta Falcons now know which opponent they will be facing in this year’s NFL International Series.
The Falcons announced in March that they would travel to Madrid and play at Bernabéu Stadium, the home of soccer giant Real Madrid.
On Tuesday, the NFL announced Atlanta will play the Cincinnati Bengals. The Madrid game is set for Week 9 on Nov. 8 at 9:30 a.m. ET.
This will be the Falcons first game in Spain and the team’s fifth game outside the United States. They previously played in London in 2014, 2021 and 2023 and in Berlin in 2025.

Last season, the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders in Madrid. With Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa joining the Falcons this season, he has a shot at going 2-0 on Spanish soil.
The Falcons signed Tagovailoa earlier this year after releasing quarterback Kirk Cousins.
But he’s not the only quarterback on the roster. Over the summer, he’s set to fight it out with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting quarterback spot.
Penix started the beginning of last season for the Falcons before getting injured.
