Paris to Stage Its First Regular Season Game This Year
The New Orleans Saints will host the Cleveland Browns at Stade de France, marking the NFL’s first regular-season game in France and prompting a 10% ticket price adjustment.
- On Feb. 2, the NFL announced the New Orleans Saints will host a regular-season game in Paris at Stade de France during the 2026 season.
- With the Saints' marketing rights in France, the NFL aims to expand globally, citing over 14 million fans and an NFL Flag program reaching more than 8,000 youth, as part of its international strategy, commissioner Roger Goodell said.
- According to French reports, RMC Sports said the Cleveland Browns would face the Saints at Stade de France on Oct. 25, 2026, but the Browns said they "haven't heard" about the matchup.
- On Monday the team announced a 10% adjustment in season ticket and parking packages due to one fewer home game, with unpaid accounts automatically receiving the adjustment.
- The Saints will play an opponent to be determined after the full 2026 schedule, typically released mid-May, is finalized later this year, with rotational scheduling making a Paris game plausible for the Cleveland Browns.
