Pittsburgh Steelers to Play Game in Paris, France as Part of NFL International Series
Reports say the Saints will face the Steelers in the NFL’s first regular-season game in France, part of the league’s 2026 international slate.
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the New Orleans Saints will host the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France in Paris, marking the NFL's first-ever regular-season game in France.
League officials have targeted Paris as a priority international market in recent years, while the Saints have held marketing rights in France since 2023, expanding their presence through a partnership with the Paris Musketeers.
Following the NFL's first game in Dublin, Ireland, last season, the Steelers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 at Croke Park in Week 4, returning to Europe for a second consecutive year.
Because New Orleans acts as the home team, the Steelers will play eight true road games this season instead of nine, according to reports.
The 80,000-seat Stade de France, which hosted events during the 2024 Summer Olympics, will serve as the venue for the Week 7 matchup, cementing France's place in the NFL's expanding international footprint.
