It’s official. The New Orleans Saints are set to play the first-ever NFL regular-season game in France in 2026. “We are excited to be selected to play in the first regular season game to take place in France,” said Benson. “This moment is special not only because of the strong cultural connection between Louisiana and France, but also because we will compete in front of a growing Saints fanbase in Paris.” The NFL plays international games in the United Kingdom, which have been in place since 2007, Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Spain and Australia. The Saints have played three games internationally since 2008. All of those games (2008, 2017, 2022) have been played in London.
