LAS VEGAS — The NFL announced it will play a regular-season game in Madrid in 2025 and indicated a preference to have the Bears or Dolphins play.

The league assigned marketing rights to eight countries, and the Bears and Dolphins are the only two that have them in Spain. The Bears also have rights in the United Kingdom and will play a home game there next season.

In 2025, however, the Bears and other NFC teams will have only eight home games, so the league would have AFC teams designated as home teams for any international games.
