Saints Set for Historic Paris Game in 2026

Inaugural French Match Details Emerge

The New Orleans Saints are scheduled to play a "home" game in Paris in 2026. RMC Sport, a French news outlet, has reported that the Cleveland Browns will play the Saints on October 25 at Stade de France.

This event will mark the National Football League's (NFL) first game in France, with an expected attendance of approximately 80,000 fans.

The Saints organization has publicly expressed interest in participating in the NFL's first game in France for several years.

NFL's Ongoing International Expansion

The planned game in France is a continuation of the NFL's international expansion efforts. In addition to this event, the league intends to play its inaugural regular-season game in Australia in 2026.

The NFL has previously held games in various other countries, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico. The league's strategy emphasizes potential financial benefits from these international markets.
