The Atlanta Falcons will take another trip across the pond in 2026. Tuesday evening the NFL announced that Atlanta will travel to Madrid for a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals Nov. 8.

It marks the second straight season the Falcons will make an international trip after playing the Colts in Berlin last year, and their fifth trip overseas total. The Falcons haven’t had much luck in these international games so far with just one win coming back in 2021 against the Jets in London.

Beating the Bengals won’t be an easy task either. Atlanta has not beaten Cincinnati since 2010 and has lost three straight games dating back to 2014. The announcement comes just days before the Falcons will be releasing their full 2026 schedule this Thursday.
