Bengals–Falcons in Madrid: Start Time and How to Watch in the U.S. and Canada

The Bengals and Falcons play in Madrid on Sunday, November 8, with kickoff at 9:30 a.m. EST. NFL Network carries the game nationally in the United States, WLWT has the Cincinnati broadcast, and Canadian viewers can use TSN Premium or DAZN’s NFL Game Pass coverage.

The early start is the time to plan around for a live viewing. The Bengals’ official Madrid information page confirms the matchup at Bernabéu Stadium and identifies the U.S. broadcasters. The game is part of Week 9, with Atlanta designated as the home team.

Bengals–Falcons viewing details

How to watch in the United States

For a television broadcast, use NFL Network through a provider that carries the channel, or WLWT where that local Cincinnati station is available. A streaming television package must include NFL Network; access to another sports channel does not establish access to this broadcast.

The NFL’s game announcement also lists NFL+ as a viewing option. Its device rules distinguish between the live NFL Network stream and the local or primetime game streams that have separate restrictions.

According to the NFL’s device-specific help page, NFL Network streams across supported devices. Live local and primetime regular-season games on NFL+ are limited to phones and tablets and cannot be cast to a television. NFL Network has different device availability from those mobile-only game streams.

NFL+ is a U.S. service. Before subscribing, confirm that the app supports the device you intend to use and that you are accessing the NFL Network stream. The league maintains a supported-device list covering phones, tablets and connected television platforms.

How to watch in Canada

TSN’s official international-game schedule lists Bengals–Falcons on TSN Premium at 9:30 a.m. ET on November 8. The relevant entry is in its International Games table. It does not identify a numbered TSN television channel for this matchup, so a TSN1–5 subscription should not be assumed to include the listed Premium stream.

DAZN is another Canadian route. The NFL’s Canadian viewing page identifies DAZN as the home of NFL Game Pass in Canada, with access to every preseason, regular-season and postseason game. Use the Canadian service and an eligible subscription; the U.S. NFL+ product has different territorial rights.

Why the morning window matters

Madrid follows the NFL’s first regular-season game in Paris, which also occupied a Sunday morning American viewing window. The Sporting Page’s Paris audience report explains that broadcast result and its measurement limits.

All times here are Eastern. The listed 9:30 a.m. start is kickoff, rather than the beginning of a pregame show. Broadcast schedules remain subject to change; the linked league, team and provider listings are the relevant references before Sunday’s game.
