The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are set for a historic Week 7 matchup in Paris, with kickoff scheduled for 2:30 PM local time. The game at Stade de France will mark the NFL’s first regular-season contest in France.
For fans in the United States, the game is scheduled to begin at 9:30 AM ET, making it an early start to Sunday football. Paris will be six hours ahead of Eastern Time on game day (Sunday, October 25, 2026).
The Saints enter the international spotlight with a connection to France that goes beyond football, given Louisiana’s French heritage and New Orleans’ cultural roots. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, played in Dublin during the 2025 season.
