The NFL Paris Game 2026 will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, marking the first time the Stade de France hosts a regular-season National Football League fixture. The matchup features the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New Orleans Saints at the venue in the French capital. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 PM local time, with live television coverage provided on France 2.
Stade de France Hosts Historic NFL Regular-Season Debut
For the first time, the Stade de France will stage an official regular-season NFL game. The October 25, 2026 fixture brings the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints to Paris. American football continues to grow its international footprint, with the league having staged 62 regular-season games outside of the United States.
The sport’s global expansion has previously reached cities including London, Berlin, Munich, Madrid, São Paulo, Mexico City, Toronto, and Dublin. Paris now joins that destination list, supported by a French fan base estimated at more than 14 million people.
Broadcast Schedule and Viewing Options in France
Fans unable to attend the game in person at the Stade de France can watch the broadcast live. Coverage begins at 2:30 PM on October 25, 2026, on France 2. In addition, France Télévisions handles digital streaming through its dedicated portal at france.tv/sport.
The Paris fixture is part of a broader autumn schedule broadcast by the network. The schedule opens on October 4, 2026, with the Indianapolis Colts facing the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. That same London venue hosts two additional matchups: the Philadelphia Eagles against the Jacksonville Giants on October 11, followed by the Houston Texans taking on the Giants on October 18. All three London fixtures air across the digital sports platform.
