NFL Paris tickets: how the sale works

nfl.com/Paris sign-up, American Express presale, Ticketmaster general sale, hospitality: how tickets for the 2026 NFL Paris game were sold, at what prices, and how to be ready if the NFL comes back to Paris in 2027.

The first regular-season NFL game ever played in France, Steelers against Saints at the Stade de France on Sunday 25 October 2026, came with a sale in several stages: registration, a presale, hospitality, then the general sale. This page walks through that sequence step by step, lists the official 2026 prices as a reference point and explains how to prepare if the NFL returns to Paris in 2027. This site is independent and has no connection with the NFL; the information comes from public announcements by the league and the teams.

NFL Paris tickets: how the 2026 sale worked

The sale of NFL Paris tickets in 2026 followed a pattern familiar from other international games. First came a registration phase on nfl.com/Paris to express interest, then a presale for certain cardholders, then the opening of hospitality, and finally the general sale open to everyone. Each stage had its own audience and time slot, which spread demand across several weeks.

The key takeaway is simple: the earlier you register, the better informed you are about when the box office opens. For the game itself, see our page on NFL Paris 2026: Steelers vs Saints.

Registration and presale: step one for NFL tickets

Registering on nfl.com/Paris for NFL tickets

The entry point was fan registration on nfl.com/Paris, an expression of interest that brings official updates about the sale. Registering did not guarantee a ticket, but it meant you would not miss the opening.

The American Express presale for NFL Paris tickets

The NFL Paris Game was presented by American Express, and a presale took place from 2 to 8 June 2026. We have not verified the exact date, so we prefer not to state it to the day. This kind of presale is usually reserved for holders of the partner card, ahead of the public opening.

The Saints season-ticket allocation for NFL tickets

New Orleans Saints season-ticket holders received an allocation on registration, with up to 2 tickets per person. It shows how teams set aside part of the seats for their long-standing supporters.

Hospitality and travel packages: NFL tickets with extras

Hospitality opened on Thursday 18 June 2026 at 12:00 Paris time. It was offered through Ticketmaster France and through On Location, presented as the NFL's official hospitality provider. These packages combine the ticket with additional services, which makes them a category of their own within the NFL ticket offer.

Travel packages combining a ticket and a hotel were also available from authorised tour operators such as SportsBreaks. For a fan travelling from abroad, that is one way to settle ticket and accommodation in a single purchase.

General sale of NFL tickets: Ticketmaster France, 16 July

The general sale started on Thursday 16 July 2026 at 12:00 Paris time on Ticketmaster France. This was the phase aimed at the widest audience, covering the nine seating categories of the stadium. A few habits help on a big on-sale day:

• create your account and check your payment details before the opening time;
• log in a few minutes early and stay in a single browser window;
• decide beforehand which category you are aiming for, and a fallback;
• know how many seats you need, so you do not hesitate once you are through the queue.

Our NFL Paris tickets page gathers the practical information in one place.

Price table for NFL Paris tickets in 2026

Below are the official 2026 prices, all fees included, in euros, according to nfl.com. They are a reference to understand the price ladder of an NFL game in Paris. They are not 2027 prices: no pricing has been announced for any future edition.

Child prices applied only to categories 5, 6 and 8. The gap between category 1 and category 9 is wide, which left real choice depending on budget.

Resale and safety: buying NFL tickets with confidence

As with any in-demand event, NFL tickets are resold on resale platforms and marketplaces. Prices there move with demand: they can sit below or above face value depending on the category and how close the date is. No official resale platform was confirmed for this game, so the simplest approach is to keep an eye on the official channels in case seats are released again.

A few general tips, whichever channel you use:

• pay by credit or debit card, which offers protection if something goes wrong;
• never pay by bank transfer to someone you do not know;
• be wary of a simple screenshot of a ticket: a digital ticket is checked in the ticketing app;
• compare the asking price with the official grid above to put the offer in context;
• keep confirmations and messages until after the game.

NFL Paris tickets in 2027: getting ready in advance

In late May 2026, at the Orlando meeting, NFL owners approved up to 10 international games per season from 2027, up from 8. With the buzz around the first game in Paris and the importance of the French market, a return of the NFL to Paris is very likely and widely expected, and Paris looks like a natural candidate. But no official announcement has been made: no 2027 host city is confirmed, and no date, opponent or price is known. The NFL schedule is usually released in the spring.
