Watch in the United States
NFL Network
The NFL names NFL Network as the US television channel for this Week 9 international game. NFL Network is available through participating cable, satellite and live-TV streaming providers, but channel lineups and prices depend on the provider and ZIP code.
Before subscribing, search the provider's current channel list for NFL Network. Do not buy NFL Sunday Ticket for this game: Sunday Ticket covers eligible out-of-market Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games, not a nationally televised NFL Network international game.
Some provider apps allow live viewing on connected TVs and browsers after authentication. The NFL's live-game access guide says connected-TV and desktop NFL access may require a participating cable or streaming-provider login.
NFL+
NFL+ is the direct NFL option for US viewers who are comfortable watching live on a phone or tablet. The NFL specifically includes nationally televised NFL Network games in NFL+ live access.
Current direct prices are:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Relevant features |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFL+ | $6.99 | $49.99 | Live local and national games on phones/tablets; live audio |
| NFL+ Premium | $14.99 | $99.99 | Same mobile/tablet live access plus full, condensed and All-22 replays and NFL RedZone |
The prices come from the official NFL+ pricing page. Third-party billing through an app store or device platform may add fees.
The important limitation is screen type. Live regular-season games on NFL+ are available only on phones and tablets. Installing NFL+ on a Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV or smart TV does not unlock this live Madrid game on that television. Premium replays work across supported devices after the live broadcast.
The NFL's device compatibility guide currently lists iOS/iPadOS 16+, Android 9+, tvOS 16+, Android/Google TV 7.1+, Roku firmware 11+, Fire TV 6+, Xbox Series S/X and supported Samsung, LG and Vizio smart TVs. Live-game restrictions still apply regardless of whether an app can be installed.
Watch free in Spain through Mediaset
Mediaset España and the NFL announced an expanded multi-year agreement beginning with the 2026–27 season. It includes at least 50 free-to-air games per season and specifically includes the 2026 NFL Madrid Game.
Mediaset says its NFL coverage will appear across Cuatro, Be Mad and Mediaset Infinity. It also says every game shown on television will be simulcast through Mediaset Infinity.
That confirms a legitimate free route in Spain, but the announcement does not assign this game to a specific TV channel. Start2Watch will update the article when Mediaset publishes the game-week schedule identifying Cuatro or Be Mad and the direct Infinity event page.
Read the official Mediaset–NFL agreement rather than relying on a 2025 Madrid Game listing.
Mediaset Infinity setup
Mediaset Infinity is the digital simulcast route named in the rights announcement. Account, location, advertising and supported-device requirements can apply.
On game week:
- Open the official Mediaset Infinity live-TV area.
- Sign in or create the required free account.
- Confirm the Madrid Game tile and channel in the current schedule.
- Test another live Mediaset channel on the intended device.
- Open the game 10 to 15 minutes before kickoff.
Do not confuse Infinity's free television simulcast with an unrelated paid Infinity+ entertainment package.
Watch in Spain with DAZN NFL Game Pass
NFL Game Pass International on DAZN is the complete paid alternative in Spain. DAZN says it includes every team and every game live, plus the playoffs, Super Bowl, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and on-demand programs.
Game Pass can be purchased separately; a general DAZN sports plan is not required. DAZN also offers selected NFL games through Spanish Football and Premium plans, but it has not published a game-specific plan assignment for Falcons–Bengals. Use Game Pass if you need the confirmed all-game route.
DAZN's 2026 checkout price can vary by account, promotion, billing method and plan. The live anonymous sources reviewed for this guide did not provide a reliable current Spain Game Pass amount, so this article does not reuse 2025 prices. Confirm the total, instalments, renewal and cancellation terms at checkout.
The official Game Pass overview and standalone-purchase help explain the current access model.
Game Pass streams and devices
DAZN's current Spain rules provide:
- Season Pro: two simultaneous streams on one IP address.
- Season Pro Ultimate: five simultaneous streams across two IP addresses.
- Weekly Pro: seven days of access; exact checkout availability and price must be confirmed.
- Ultimate: Multiview, more streams and selected enhanced feeds/features.
Game Pass works on supported phones, tablets, smart TVs and web browsers. DAZN's stream-limit guide explains the one-network restriction on Season Pro.
Do not share credentials outside the permitted household or network. A second device using mobile data can count as a different IP address and block a standard Season Pro stream.
Replays, Game in 40 and downloads
NFL+ Premium provides full, condensed and All-22 game replays on supported devices in the United States. The standard NFL+ plan is primarily the mobile live/audio option; verify the event tile before relying on a specific replay format.
DAZN says Game Pass replays appear shortly after the live feed. Within 24 hours, viewers can choose:
- A full-length replay without commercial interruptions
- Game in 40
- A five-to-ten-minute highlight package
DAZN also supports offline downloads of eligible Game Pass library content on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and Android tablets. Downloads normally expire after 30 days, and some titles can be excluded for rights reasons. See the official download rules.
Mediaset has not stated a Madrid Game replay window in the rights announcement. Treat its free route as live access unless the event page later confirms catch-up availability.
Can I watch Falcons vs Bengals free?
In Spain
Yes. Mediaset has explicitly included the 2026 NFL Madrid Game in its free-to-air package, with televised games simulcast through Mediaset Infinity. The exact Cuatro/Be Mad assignment and direct event page remain pending.
In the United States
No nationwide licensed free live route has been announced. NFL Network requires an eligible TV package, while NFL+ requires a paid subscription and limits live video to phones and tablets.
A trial from a participating TV provider may be available to an eligible new customer, but trial length, channel lineup, renewal price and cancellation terms are account-specific. A trial should not be described as a permanent free stream.
Start2Watch does not link to restreams, shared accounts or unauthorized IPTV feeds. These can disappear during the game, expose credentials and violate broadcaster rights.
Venue and matchup facts
The game is at the Bernabéu, home of Real Madrid. It is the NFL's second regular-season game in Spain following the 2025 Madrid event.
Atlanta is the designated home team, even though the game is played in Madrid. The matchup is part of Week 9 of the 2026 regular season.
Use the official NFL Madrid page for venue and ticket information. Ticket resale sites are not evidence for kickoff times or broadcast rights.
Set up the stream before November 8

- Open the stream at least 15 minutes before the 3:30 p.m. CET kickoff.
Use Start2Watch's internet speed guide for HD and 4K streaming to plan bandwidth. For freezing or resolution drops, follow the stream buffering diagnostic. Fire TV users can use the Firestick Wi-Fi troubleshooting guide.
