AMERICAN FOOTBALL!!

Hello, María!
I'm a Midwesterner, too, from Ohio, living/working in Madrid. Finding places to watch NFL Football in Madrid is next to impossible. I watch some of the games on Canal+ on TV at home, but the earliest Sunday game starts, as you know, at 7pm local Spain time and the next one is at 10pm and the last at 1am. In Spain, as you know, "Fútbol" rules. So if you're at a bar on a Sunday, you can be a fight would break out if you tried to have them change the channel. Plus, most bars are not equipped with/licensed to broadcast Canal+ anyway. Surely you can watch the game online, though, albeit in low video quality.

Best of luck!

Saludos,

I realize that it's been two years, but does anyone have any constructive info on this question?

Yes, I realize that futbol is the preferred sport in Spain. The question is whether there is a bar/hangout that play NFL football games. You can find a handful of bars in NYC that play soccer games, so the assumption would be that there would be at least one place in Madrid playing American Football on Sunday's.

Thanks,
John

I just went to the Dubliner and O'Connell Pubs in Sol today (Calle de Espoz y Mina, 7, 28012 Madrid, Spain) and they will be showing  an NFL game at 7pm and one game at 10pm. Also the James Joyce pub on Alcala (between the Plaza de Ciebles and Puerta de Alcala) will show two 7pm games and one 10pm game. Basically what ever Sky Sports are showing.  It would be nice to find a pub that had the NFL package because my Baltimore Ravens are not being shown on Sky Sports this week.

You're my hero, thanks. I'll be in town for Detroit at Carolina. Not holding out much hope of that one making it across the pond.

Thanks markyoung1.  I was looking for that exact information.  My Patriots are on but a friend was looking for the Redskins vs. Houston which is not on SkySports tomorrow.

Did you guys figure anything out yesterday? I'll be in town on the 14th and will try one of Mark's places (maybe James Joyce) unless I hear otherwise.

Has anyone been to this? The post seems more like an advertisement for the bar than an actual group of people.

Yes. I been there a lot of Sunday nights. It's a nice place where you can make new friends and languages exchange, too. My English improved a lot thanks to Americans at that bar. This is a pic we took some time ago..
