For the first time in its history, the NFL sets foot in France with an exceptional regular-season game at the Stade de France on October 25, 2026.
It's the announcement all sports fans have been waiting for: Paris officially joins the NFL International Games calendar. On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the French capital will join the very select circle of world cities (like London, Munich and Madrid) hosting the prestigious American soccer league. For this grand premiere, the New Orleans Saints take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France. More than just a match, this event symbolizes the explosive growth of the sport in France, in the run-up to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, where flag soccer (the non-contact version) is making its historic entry into the Olympic program. Expect an "American-style" sports show, combining top-level sporting performances, spectacular entertainment and unprecedented popular fervor in Saint-Denis.
