Saints to play in NFL's first regular season game in Paris in 2026!

The NFL has designated the New Orleans Saints to play the first ever regular season game in 2026 at the ICONIC Stade de France in Paris!

“We are excited to be selected as the designated team for the first regular season game to take place in France. This moment is special not only because of the strong cultural connection between Louisiana and France, but also because we will compete before a growing Saints fan base in Paris.” - Gayle Benson, Saints Owner.

This is a unique opportunity to showcase the Crescent City and Gulf Coast Region to a country that is already woven into the fabric of our culture and community. From Bourbon Street to the Champs Elysee, we will showcase our special joie de vivre as we take on an opponent, who will be named by the NFL at a later date, in France.

As this is an NFL operated and managed event, we will receive a limited allotment of tickets from the NFL exclusively for our season ticket holders to purchase via a ticket lottery – more information on these tickets will be communicated to Season Ticket Holders in the coming weeks. We do not anticipate being able to offer a general on-sale to non-Season Ticket Holders at this time based on the limited number of tickets allocated to the team.

Should you be interested in becoming a Season Ticket Holder and gaining access to our ticket lottery, please contact the Saints ticketing office at 504-731-1700 or via email at [email protected] to learn more.

Further game details, including date and opponent, will be confirmed prior to the 2026 NFL season schedule release. Read press release.
