NFL set to bring huge Latin star to Madrid International Game halftime show

The NFL is heading to Spain for the very first time and it’s planning to make a big splash. On November 16, the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders will face off at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

It will be a historic moment for American football in Europe and is set to feature a halftime show, featuring one of the biggest names in Latin music.

According to ESPN, Argentinian DJ and producer Bizarrap is in advanced talks with the league to perform during halftime, bringing his brand of electronic and Latin beats to one of the world’s most iconic venues.

With more than 20 million social media followers and a truly global fan base, Bizarrap’s reach and crossover appeal reportedly made him the NFL’s top choice for the Bernabéu show. The league is looking to connect with a younger, more international audience and Bizarrap checks every box.

NFL hosts first Spain game at the Bernabéu

This matchup will be the first-ever NFL game played in Spain, a country better known for its soccer passion than for gridiron football. The event also aligns with Real Madrid’s long-term plan to transform the Bernabéu into a year-round entertainment hub, hosting concerts, global sporting events and cultural shows.

Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida called the upcoming game “another example of our city’s ability to attract world-class events,” adding that the NFL “is one of the greatest shows on earth, and Madrid will once again prove it’s ready to host a major sporting spectacle.”

Real Madrid is reportedly working through logistical challenges to resume hosting full-scale concerts at the Bernabéu by 2026. Doing so would would further cement the stadium’s place as one of Europe’s top multipurpose venues.
