NFL Paris 2027: ticket alert and latest news

After Steelers vs Saints at the Stade de France on 25 October 2026, the first NFL regular-season game ever played in France, a return to Paris in 2027 is widely expected. Here is what is confirmed, what is not yet, and how to hear first.

The NFL's first-ever regular-season game in France kicks off on Sunday 25 October 2026 at the Stade de France, and one question is already on every fan's lips: will the NFL come back to Paris in 2027? This independent site, which has no affiliation with the NFL, follows the story step by step. Here is what is confirmed, what is merely expected, and how to get ready so you do not miss the next ticket sale.

NFL return to Paris in 2027: why fans expect it

As of today, no NFL game in Paris in 2027 has been officially announced. Keep that in mind before reading anything else. Even so, several factors make a return of the NFL to Paris in 2027 very likely, which is why we describe it as an expected date with the diary rather than a rumour.

The first factor is the international calendar itself. In late May 2026, at the Orlando meeting, NFL owners approved up to 10 international games per season, up from 8, starting in 2027. Roger Goodell has also stated an aim of 16 international games in the long run. More games abroad means more host cities to choose.

The second factor is the buzz around the 25 October 2026 game, presented by American Express and run with the agencies Infront and Publicis. France is a priority market for the league, and Paris looks like a natural candidate for a second edition. Natural is not the same as official, though: we will only publish a date, an opponent or a price for 2027 once the announcement is made.

What is confirmed for the 2026 NFL Paris game

The New Orleans Saints, the designated home team, face the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, with kickoff at 2:30 pm Paris time (9:30 am ET). French viewers can watch free-to-air on France Télévisions, also streaming on france.tv, with coverage from 2:10 pm. Our page NFL Paris 2026: Steelers vs Saints has the full details.

What is still unconfirmed for NFL Paris in 2027

Everything else: the host city, the date, the teams, the stadium and the sales calendar. The NFL has named no 2027 host city, and to our knowledge there is no multi-year agreement with Paris. By contrast, multi-year deals exist for Madrid and Mexico City as well as for Germany, and London hosts the league every year.

NFL Europe network: where Paris fits in 2027

The league is building a genuine network of games abroad. In 2026 the record 9 international games are spread across 7 countries: Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, London (three games, two at Tottenham and one at Wembley), Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City. Europe alone hosts a large share, with London, Paris, Madrid and Munich.

With up to 10 games possible in 2027, the league may want to confirm this new market rather than treat it as a one-off. That is a reasonable hypothesis, not a certainty. Our page NFL Europe international games covers the network city by city.

NFL Paris announcement calendar: when will we know more?

The full NFL season schedule is usually released in the spring, often in May. International host cities are generally known a little earlier, sometimes months ahead, but this varies from year to year, so no announcement date can be promised for a possible NFL game in Paris in 2027.

Here is what we can reasonably expect, without any guarantee:

• a league announcement on the 2027 host cities, at a time still to be determined;
• publication of the full schedule, usually in the spring;
• an expression-of-interest registration for fans, as in 2026;
• then successive sale phases, with dates set by the organisers.

As soon as official news lands, we update this page and send the e-mail alert to everyone registered.

NFL Paris tickets: how the 2026 sale unfolded

The best way to anticipate 2027 is to look at 2026. Fans could first register their interest at nfl.com/Paris. Ticketing was then handled by Ticketmaster France, for both general sale and hospitality. Hospitality was also offered by On Location, the NFL's official hospitality provider, and ticket-plus-hotel packages were available through approved travel companies such as SportsBreaks. New Orleans Saints season-ticket holders received an allocation on registration, up to 2 tickets.

On the calendar side, an American Express presale took place in early June 2026, hospitality opened on Thursday 18 June at 12:00, and general sale on Thursday 16 July at 12:00 Paris time. Tickets also appear on resale platforms at prices that vary with demand; no official resale platform has been confirmed so far. The full story is on our NFL Paris tickets page.

Getting ready for the next NFL Paris game: simple habits

You do not have to wait for the announcement. A few simple steps put you in a good position for a possible NFL game in Paris in 2027.

1. Register at nfl.com/Paris, the official expression-of-interest channel used in 2026.
2. Switch on this site's e-mail alert using the form at the bottom of the page, so you hear the moment an official announcement is made.
3. Set up your account with the official ticketing partner in advance and check your payment method, since sales are often decided within minutes.
4. Set a budget using the table above, and remember travel and accommodation.

A few generic safety tips apply to any ticket purchase: never pay by bank transfer to a stranger, and do not rely on a simple screenshot presented as a ticket. Always buy from the official ticketing partner or a clearly identified provider.

Stade de France and an NFL Paris game: the essentials

The Stade de France in Saint-Denis holds about 80,000 spectators. It hosts the 2026 game and remains the most obvious venue for a future date, even though nothing is confirmed for 2027. We have no precise information on its American football configuration.

Getting there is straightforward: RER B (La Plaine – Stade de France), RER D (Stade de France – Saint-Denis), Metro line 13 (Saint-Denis – Porte de Paris, about 700 metres, a 5 to 10 minute walk), line 14 (Saint-Denis Pleyel, around 20 minutes on foot) or line 12 (Front Populaire, around 25 minutes). The RATP recommends particular stations depending on your gate, for instance line 13 for north gates R and S. More in the Stade de France for the NFL.

American football in Paris: a fan base ready for NFL Paris in 2027

The hope of an NFL return to Paris has solid roots. The Paris Musketeers, a franchise announced on 23 September 2022, keep the game alive all year, now in the EFA, the new European league, and the New Orleans Saints have a partnership with them. The Saints also hold the NFL marketing rights for France (Global Markets programme, since 2023), one more argument for a return. Flash de La Courneuve, a club from the Paris region, holds the record for French championship titles with 12 Casque de Diamant wins. NFL Flag France, launched in 2023 with the FFFA, has already reached more than 8,000 children. See also our American football in Paris page.

In short: nothing is announced, but everything points to NFL Paris in 2027 being a serious prospect. Sign up for the alert and we will write to you as soon as the league speaks.
