The Miami Dolphins will find out Tuesday who their opponent will be for their game in Spain during the 2025 regular season.

The announcement will come during "Good Morning Football" on NFL Network when every international games for 2025 will be unveiled.

The expectation has been that for the Madrid game the Dolphins will be facing the Washington Commanders or Cincinnati Bengals, two of their nine home opponents in 2025.

Along with the Dolphins' home game in Spain, other home teams for international games will be the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England; the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin, Germany; the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland; the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London; and the Los Angeles Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

During the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, it was revealed the 2025 regular season schedule would be unveiled on Wednesday, May 14.

Along with the international games, there also will be some games revealed — with dates and times — in the days ahead.

The NFL announced Thursday that three games will be announced Monday, one Tuesday and two more Wednesday during the day before the full unveiling Wednesday night.

NBC (on the "Today Show", FOX and Prime Video each will announce a game Monday; ESPN will announce a game Tuesday during "Good Morning America," and CBS ("CBS Mornings") and Netflix on Wednesday.

The Dolphins will play nine home games and eight road games in 2025, and they've already been announced as the home team for a game in Madrid, Spain.

The two teams that have been mentioned in one form or another as the potential opponent for that game are the Washington Commanders and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was asked by a Washington reporter at the owners meetings in Palm Beach last week about a potential matchup with the Commanders in Spain. It's a matchup that would reunite him with head coach Dan Quinn, for whom he served as an assistant with the Atlanta Falcons when the team went to the Super Bowl in the 2016 season.

“I’m pretty sure we’re going international – I think we know that," McDaniel said. "It’s hard to keep track of what I’m supposed to say and what I’m not. We will be in Madrid. I don’t know against who."
