Dolphins Host Commanders in NFL Madrid Debut

The Miami Dolphins will host the Washington Commanders in Madrid, Spain, on November 16, 2025, marking the NFL's first regular-season game in Spain at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This game is part of a record-setting international series featuring seven games in five countries—Spain, Brazil, Ireland, Germany, and England—demonstrating the NFL's commitment to global expansion. The anticipated quarterback matchup is between Tua Tagovailoa and Jayden Daniels, though injuries could affect starting lineups. The Commanders' appearance reflects their new era under fresh ownership, while the Dolphins make their first overseas trip since 2023. Some U.S. fans have expressed frustration over losing home games to international venues. The NFL will officially reveal the full 2025 international schedule as part of its season rollout.
