Delta Air Lines is celebrating the 2026-2027 NFL schedule release, which happened last night, with new flights that will get U.S. fans to Europe for the 2026 International Series.
Delta, which is the official airline partner for the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions, will add flights from Atlanta to Madrid and flights from Detroit to Munich for games that are part of the 2026 International Series.
Delta will fly those Madrid (MAD) flights from Atlanta (ATL) on Nov. 4 and 5, with a return on Nov. 9 for the game between the Falcons and the Cincinnati Bengals at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. This will mark the first time the NFL is playing a regular-season game in Spain.
Delta will then fly the Detroit (DTW) flights to Munich (MUC) on Nov. 11 (two different flights) with a return flight on Nov. 16 for the game between the Lions and the New England Patriots at the Allianz Arena.
Delta will fly all the flights in its A330 jets with all four of its signature cabin classes—Delta One, Premium Select, Comfort+, and Main Cabin.
