For the first time in NFL History, the league will host a game in Paris, France and the New Orleans Saints will play host.
That’s news that has been known for some time, but rumors surrounding the matchups details have long been swirling. Until Wednesday morning, when the league finally announced all of the International Series games for 2026.

The Saints will play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 25 in Paris.
The game will kick off at 8:30 a.m. CT for local fans who want to start their day with some Black and Gold action.
It was long rumored that the Saints would be facing the Cleveland Browns in this matchup, however, another AFC North opponent is getting the slot.
This is a positive development for New Orleans, who will see this game count as a home game in their 2026 schedule. Not surrendering a key NFC or potentially even NFC South matchup from their home turf of the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans is a win.
Meanwhile, the club will still get to enjoy the festivities and events that are sure to surround the historic game, set to be played at Stade de France this fall.
Mark your calendars for the league’s first Parisian NFL matchup with your New Orleans Saints playing host.
The last time the Saints and Steelers met was during the 2022 season, the result was a 20-10 loss to Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium.
New Orleans holds a nine games to eight lead in the clubs’ 17-game series history.
