The NFL is set to touchdown in France for the first time later this year, with Paris’ Stade de France hosting a regular-season game.

The New Orleans Saints are locked in as one of the teams, though the exact date is still to be announced. The league is also strengthening its presence in Spain with a new multi-year deal to stage games at Real Madrid’s Bernabeu Stadium.

Spain already hosted its first NFL game last November, when the Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders.

France will join the UK, Germany, and Spain as the fourth European country to host regular-season NFL games. The 2026 international calendar is shaping up with eight matchups confirmed, including three in London, plus games in Brazil, Germany, Spain, and first-time stops in France and Australia.

Under the NFL’s global markets program, the Saints hold exclusive marketing rights in France, while the Bears, Chiefs, and Dolphins manage Spain.
