The stadium, which serves as the national stadium of France and is located just north of Paris in Saint-Denis, will serve as the primary site for the league's debut in the country.
The move to play at the Stade de France marks a significant expansion of the NFL's International Games program. France joins a growing list of international hosts that includes the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil. The league has continued to prioritize global growth, and the selection of the country's largest stadium confirms its commitment to the French market.
While the specific teams and the date for the contest have not yet been finalized, the announcement of the venue is a major step in the league's international schedule planning. The Stade de France has a storied history of hosting premier global events, including the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, providing the NFL with a world-class facility for its first foray into France.
