One season after playing the first NFL regular season game in Dublin, the Steelers will be part of another first in the NFL's international series.
The Steelers will be taking on the Saints in the NFL's inaugural game in Paris, sources have confirmed with DK Pittsburgh Sports. The game will take place on Sunday, Oct. 25 with a kickoff set for 9:30 a.m. Eastern.
The matchup marks the league’s latest step in its expanding international series, which has grown from a novelty event in London to a multi‑country showcase designed to build the NFL’s global footprint.
For Pittsburgh, the trip continues a trend of high‑profile international appearances. The franchise played in London in 2013 and drew significant attention with last season’s historic game in Dublin.
The Saints, meanwhile, bring a sizable French‑speaking fan base of their own, thanks in part to Louisiana’s cultural ties. Their inclusion gives the league a natural storyline as it introduces the sport to a new audience in France.
The game is expected to be held at the Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium and the longtime home of major international soccer and rugby events.
