The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to take their talents across the Atlantic once again, as the NFL schedule leak reveals a Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints—but not in the Big Easy. Instead, the two teams will face off in Paris, France, on Oct. 25, with kickoff scheduled for a brisk 9:30 a.m. ET.
This international showdown, first reported by X account @OzzyNFL and confirmed by The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, marks the first confirmed schedule leak involving the Steelers ahead of Thursday’s full release. It’s a home game for the Saints that will be played far from the Superdome, giving fans a unique European twist to the regular season.
For the Steelers, this continues a growing tradition of overseas play. Last season, they took down the Minnesota Vikings at Dublin’s Croke Park, adding to their international résumé that includes a 2013 game against the Vikings at London’s Wembley Stadium. Now, they’ll bring their iconic black and gold to Paris, a city known for its fashion, culture—and soon, hard-hitting NFL action.
The game will be held at the Stade de France, the country’s largest stadium, built in 1998 and typically home to the French national football and rugby teams. For sports fans, it’s a venue steeped in history, and for Steelers supporters, it’s a chance to see their team in a truly global setting. Whether you’re gearing up for the game with your favorite Steelers jersey or looking to rep the Saints in style, this matchup is one to circle on your calendar.
