NFL Paris 2027: after the Saints' debut, what comes next?

NFL Paris status: one game booked, 2027 open

The announcement on 2 and 3 February 2026 covered a single game in France: Saints against Steelers in Saint-Denis on Sunday 25 October 2026, kick-off 2:30pm Paris time. Unlike Berlin, Mexico City or London, Paris has no published multi-year agreement with the NFL. As of 9 October 2026, no official source confirms a Paris game in 2027.

The door is clearly open. For 2027 the league can stage up to ten international games and teams can no longer protect home games from being moved overseas. Host cities are usually named around Super Bowl week in February, matchups in May. Until then, a 2027 Paris game, its date and its teams are all to be confirmed. Our International Series 2027 page tracks every city.

Why the Saints carry the NFL flag in Paris

The New Orleans Saints hold the NFL's international marketing rights for France under the league's Global Markets Program, and since 2026 they share rights in Italy with the Cleveland Browns. New Orleans' French colonial past makes the pairing an easy story to tell. If Paris returns, the Saints are the natural candidate, but no team has been named for 2027.

The NFL in Paris so far

The record book is empty until 25 October:

It will be the first regular-season NFL game ever played in France. For the Steelers it is a second straight European trip after Dublin in 2025. We will update this page with the result.

Stade de France: how to get there for the NFL in Paris

France's national stadium in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris, holds around 80,000; the NFL configuration has not been published. It is one of the best-served big stadiums in Europe by public transport.

• RER D to Stade de France-Saint-Denis, a short walk from the ground. From Gare du Nord it is only a few minutes.
• RER B to La Plaine-Stade de France, handy if you come from the airport at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle or from the Left Bank.
• Metro line 13 to Saint-Denis-Porte de Paris.
• Metro line 12 to Front Populaire, about fifteen minutes on foot and usually quieter after the game.

NFL Paris budget and watching on TV

The 2026 Stade de France price range is shown on this page; 2027 prices are to be confirmed. Most visitors stay in central Paris and take the RER out to Saint-Denis. Book refundable accommodation if you want to be ready for an announcement.

If you cannot get a seat, coverage in France is changing: beIN Sports shows the NFL, and from 2027 L'Équipe and France Télévisions will broadcast games free-to-air.

Getting to NFL Paris from London, New York or elsewhere

For British fans, Eurostar from London St Pancras arrives at Gare du Nord, a short RER D ride from the stadium, which makes a Paris game almost as easy as Wembley. Americans have direct flights into Charles de Gaulle, connected to the stadium by RER B. A Sunday afternoon kick-off leaves time for dinner in town afterwards.
