The Cincinnati Bengals are packing their bags for an exciting trip across the Atlantic. As part of the NFL's 2026 International Games, the Bengals will face off against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain—marking the league's continued push to bring American football to global audiences.

This matchup is set for November 8 at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium, with kickoff at 9:30 a.m. ET, and will be broadcast on the NFL Network. It's a historic moment for the Bengals, who will be playing internationally for the third time, but their first-ever game in Madrid. The team previously took the field in London during the 2016 and 2019 seasons.

"We are excited to take the Bengals abroad again and build upon the incredible support of our global fanbase and help the league continue to grow the game of football across the world," said Elizabeth Blackburn, Bengals Director of Strategy and Engagement. "This Madrid game is a special opportunity to showcase the passion, energy, and community that define the Bengals' fandom worldwide."

The Madrid game is one of nine international NFL matchups planned for 2026, highlighting the league's commitment to expanding its footprint. For Bengals fans, this is a chance to see their team compete on a global stage, while Atlanta supporters will also get a taste of international football action.

As the Bengals prepare for this overseas adventure, the rest of their 2026 schedule is set to be released on Thursday, giving fans a full look at what promises to be an unforgettable season. Whether you're cheering from the stands in Madrid or from your living room, this game is one to mark on your calendar.
