Will the NFL come back to Paris in 2027?

A return of the NFL to Paris in 2027 is considered very likely and is widely expected, but no official announcement has been made. No 2027 host city is confirmed yet. Paris looks like a natural candidate after the buzz around its first game, and we will alert you as soon as the league makes anything official.

Why does an NFL game in Paris in 2027 look likely?

In late May 2026, at the Orlando meeting, NFL owners approved up to 10 international games per season from 2027, up from 8. Commissioner Roger Goodell has even spoken of an eventual 16. With France treated as a priority market, those extra slots strengthen the case for another Paris date, although nothing is confirmed.
