The NFL will play a regular-season game in Paris for the first time in 2026, and the New Orleans Saints were announced as one of the teams playing in the contest.
The game will be played at the Stade de France, France’s national stadium.
«Bringing a regular season game to Paris in 2026 marks an exciting next step in the continued expansion of the league’s global footprint,» commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. «Paris is one of the world’s greatest sporting and cultural cities with tremendous success in hosting global events that unite fans on the biggest stages. Playing our first‑ever regular season game at the impressive Stade de France, together with the New Orleans Saints, underlines our continued global growth ambitions and we look forward to bringing the NFL to our passionate fans in France.»
The Saints’ opponent in the game will be announced when the NFL reveals its full schedule in the spring.
This year, the NFL is set to play games in Australia, Rio de Janeiro, Munich, Germany, and London, where three games will take place.
