The NFL Paris Game 2026 brings regular-season American football to the Stade de France for the first time in history, featuring a matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints on October 25, 2026.

Stade de France Hosts Historic NFL Matchup
On October 25, 2026, the legendary stadium in the Paris metropolitan area will trade its usual concert lineups and rugby matches for an official NFL regular-season fixture. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints will square off on the field in a historic first for the venue. This fixture forms part of a broader international expansion by the league. Prior to the Paris debut, the NFL has staged 62 regular-season games outside of the United States. Cities such as London, Berlin, Munich, Madrid, São Paulo, Mexico City, Toronto, and Dublin have previously welcomed regular-season games, reflecting the growing global footprint of the sport. France now joins that list as the sport’s domestic following grows.
