One Chance Of A Bucs Road Game — In Spain
March 27th, 2025
So the NFL announced its international plans for the 2025 season.
That’s seven games in five countries.
The host teams have been named and the only Bucs road opponent with a “home” game overseas is the Dolphins, who will play a game in Madrid, Spain. The date and opponent has yet to be determined.
Joe doesn’t care if the Bucs play in Spain or not. It’s not like the Tampa Bay faithful would lose a precious game at The Licht House. But Joe does like Madrid as an option because the weather typically is better than at other European venues.
Joe can already see Baker Mayfield inhaling bocadillo de calamares with a skinny martini.
Enjoy reasoned and seasoned Bucs takes on the Ira Kaufman Podcast. Listen below.

The only thing that would suck is that I live in Cape Coral, FL, which is exactly two hours from either Miami or Tampa (yet for some reason we’re officially a “Dolphins Market”) and I’d consider going to a Bucs game there in south Florida.

If you 2 hrs either way why not consider a bucs game if your a bucs fan.. Assuming you are ?

Spain would be sweet!!! I tried to get Germany tickets, logged on 3 hours before tix went on sale and I was 50,000th in line. Crazy.

They say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:06 pm
I would love that to happen! My company has a site a few hours outside of Madrid, could do a business & pleasure trip!

i was f’ing around in madrid and ibiza back in 2017 for about a week…
good times…good times
let the good times roll
March 27th, 2025 at 5:14 pm
you’d have to check the schedule, but i don’t see 2 florida teams getting together out in spain…
the nfl will pick a team that can work a little better in building an overseas fanbase there…imho i don’t see the bucs as the “spain team”
March 27th, 2025 at 5:16 pm
Hope the Spaniards like turnovers!!!!

Bake should do the tapas, or paella, with Tinto de Verano!

I m a Bucs fan in Greece. Went to London 2019.
Tried to get ticket to Germany game and i was 620.000 in line hahahahaha.
I think they fixed the issue the next year.
If Bucs come to Spain then I definitely try to fet some tickets.
I want to see our DBs playing 10 yds off live lol
Go Bucs

I was stationed in Rota Spain. Went to my first topples beach. The women are beautiful but at that time they all had hairy pits.
March 27th, 2025 at 7:07 pm
That would be an incredible experience as a fan… but I doubt they’d do Dolphins Bucs there.
March 27th, 2025 at 7:11 pm
I had season tickets for 16 years, duder.
I’m just saying I might attend the game in Miami.
March 27th, 2025 at 7:13 pm
Buffalo Bills (13-3)
New England Patriots (3-13)
New York Jets (4-12)
Baltimore Ravens (11-5)
Cincinnati Bengals (8-8)
Los Angeles Chargers (10-6)
New Orleans Saints (5-11)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7)
Washington Commanders (11-5)
Literally any other team would be better.
March 27th, 2025 at 7:19 pm
I was in Loret Del Mar 30 years ago and there were many topless beach goers and they certainly didn’t have all hairy armpits. It’s a party/tourist town and the best looking young woman I ever met was a ~20 year old Swedish tourist WITHOUT a boyfriend!
And, I was with my daughter (13) pending a divorce. Go there if you want to rock away the night (the whole night).
March 27th, 2025 at 7:20 pm
Heck yeah, give me a chance to practice my Spanish. bonjour!

The Bucs are probably the only team in the NFL which has never been the road team for an international game as Team Glazer has always sacrificed a home game to play in London or Munich. Is that coin driven? Even the Jags have been the road team when they did back to back games in the UK as the NFL must not have allowed Kahn to make both home games as his team draws much better in London than the Gator Bowl. I wonder how many games Liam’s Jags will play in London when the Gator Bowl is being renovated? I’d love to see the Bucs in Spain but I bet they go overseas in 2026 and lose a home game again instead…..
March 27th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
i say it’s cincy, chargers, washington…a team with a quality young qb, a fanbase can latch onto…
and had a decent record last year
buffalo, bucs and jets are 2nd tier long shots for the gig imho

One time in band camp…….
March 27th, 2025 at 9:46 pm
Nothing to do with this post I know but I think Campbell will be gone by 19. Of so we should go edge or Grant with 1st pick. Would hate taking a beast DT in the first. Thoughts?
March 27th, 2025 at 9:47 pm
If and wouldn’t. Sorry started drinking early. Cheers
March 27th, 2025 at 9:56 pm
My first thoughts IrishPirate are of Loret Del Mar and the times I had there many years ago. Oops, sorry, that was BusfaninOregon. Oh those times! Anywho, (as Rod Munch would say), IrishPirate, if we get the right beast DT in the first that oughta be just fine.
March 27th, 2025 at 10:03 pm
Agreed. As you said. We just need the “right” person and fit. Regardless of position. I’m excited and ready for the draft and see how we improve.
March 27th, 2025 at 10:17 pm
IrishPirate- Cheers!
March 27th, 2025 at 10:27 pm
Billy bucco , you do know there are 17 games now ? Bucs were 10-7 last season
March 27th, 2025 at 10:37 pm

I know it’s because of the curve of the planet, but it’s wild to me that Madrid is west of London but it takes almost 90 minutes longer to fly there.
March 28th, 2025 at 12:41 am
Roger’s international dream is bull!
If the world wants football let them make there own league. Goodell and his ego is getting very old.
Go Bucs!

Was born in Spain and been to Madrid a few times, been living in Hillsborough county for over 50 years though (My dad was in the Air Force stationed in Seville in late sixties). Great people, awesome attitude, know how to have fun, amazing food, closest weather to Florida that Europe has (no place in Europe has our humidity/heat combo). Maybe they pick Tampa and Miami to go there because there the most Hispanic cities we have on the East Coast? It’s a 9 and a half hour late for Miami. Would be super long flight for any West coast team. Then again, pass scheduling shows they don’t really give a crap how tough it is on a team. I thought sending Seattle to Germany that one year was down right unfair to them, we won pretty easily. That an 8 hour time zone change for the Seahawks. Talk about jet lag.
March 28th, 2025 at 7:29 am
Garro…
Spain already has Futbol anyhow. LOL
March 28th, 2025 at 10:12 am
I just don’t want to see guys hurt playing on some janky turf field.
March 28th, 2025 at 10:14 am
I HATE NFL games going to Europe. It’s stupid to do that to our players. Time zones and lack of home American fans.
March 28th, 2025 at 12:54 pm
The international series is almost 20 years old. It’s not going away anytime soon, so it’s pointless bitching about it. It’s been an overwhelming success.
March 28th, 2025 at 1:14 pm
It’s only going to grow.
Joe was blown away when he went to the Bucs game in Munich. Literally became a high point in Joe’s life.
March 28th, 2025 at 1:22 pm
That’s what Joe doesn’t get. NFL owners will bend and spread for the euro kickball teams and have no issue ripping out their grass so that the kickball teams have their desired turf.
But NFL in Europe? They have to play on cow pastures for football fields. The very first thing the NFL should demand if they play football overseaons is that the fields have to be exactly to spec for NFL standards.
