The league will continue to play further games outside of the United States, with games already being announced to be held in both Berlin and Madrid as well as London, with a game in South America also likely to be confirmed. Dublin has also been rumored to be a potential host for a game in the 2025 season.
The NFL Berlin game will be played at the Olympic Stadium in 2025 as part of a commitment to playing in the German capital, with the league hoping to continue its momentum built through the four successful games in the country so far.
“Germany has a rich tradition of American football, and the NFL has a deep history with the city of Berlin,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “We first held a preseason game at the Olympic Stadium 34 years ago, before it was home to NFL Europe’s Berlin Thunder in the early 2000s.
Meanwhile, the game in Madrid will be the first ever in Spain, while being set to be held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, home to Real Madrid CF.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have already been rumored to be a potential team playing in Dublin, but a game in the Irish capital has yet to be confirmed by the NFL. Dublin regularly hosts ‘Week 0’ games in college football, which has been widely praised over the years with the NFL looking to follow suit.
