The league’s first-ever regular-season game in Paris, set for 2026 at the iconic Stade de France, marks a major milestone and reflects France’s status as one of the NFL’s most promising international markets. With over 14 million NFL fans in the country and a booming youth flag football program, the stage is set for an unforgettable event that will further cement the sport’s place in French culture.

The 2026 game, featuring the New Orleans Saints as one of the participating teams, is expected to draw massive crowds and energize local fans. As the NFL continues to expand its global reach, France is quickly becoming a hub for American football, with speculation already mounting about future games in Paris and beyond.

Josh arranged a fantastic trip for us and it was truly amazing! Being in another country and watching your favorite football team play, from the pep rally to game day, was an amazing experience. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Hope to see you next year for another fantastic experience!

London trip 2026

We chose Sports Fans Travel because of the itinerary. It was more than a football game — it was a thoughtfully curated Australian adventure. We tried kangaroo pie, stopped on a dark road to see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross, fed wallabies in the Blue Mountains, took in the Opera House from a ferry, and hung out with 49ers QB and Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia, who was so approachable and a great choice for our host. Josh and Zack were always there and took care of everyone and everything — nothing was too small or unimportant. That's what made it such a good value, and why we'll book with Sports Fans Travel again without hesitation.
