The Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints are playing in Paris on Sunday, October 25, 2026, in the NFL's first regular-season game held in the French capital, according to Yahoo Sports. Aaron Rodgers is under center for Pittsburgh in the matchup.
The game has drawn attention beyond the field. ESPN reports that the NFL House in Paris closed ahead of street protests in the city. Reuters reported that the game was set to kick off in a calm atmosphere following fresh demonstrations.
Coverage of the event has also touched on wider circumstances around it. Fox News reported that the league moved ahead with the game despite civil unrest, concerns raised by President Trump, and calls to postpone the contest.
For viewers in the United States, FOX Sports published broadcast details for the Steelers–Saints matchup, including television channel, live stream and start time for October 25.
The Paris game marks another step in the NFL's push to stage regular-season games outside the United States, and it arrives under unusual conditions given the demonstrations reported in the French capital in the days before kickoff.
What to watch next: how the league handles future international fixtures, and whether the Paris game becomes a one-off or a recurring stop on the NFL calendar.
