Former Philadelphia Eagles All-Pro center and current ESPN NFL analyst Jason Kelce will join veteran play-by-play commentator Dave Pasch and Pro Football Hall of Famer Kurt Warner in the both this fall for NFL Network. <\/p>\n

The trio will call the Steelers-Saints game in Paris on Oct. 25, according to an ESPN press release<\/a>. Kickoff will be at 2:30 p.m. French time, 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.<\/p>\n

Kelce will serve as a color commentator along with Warner. <\/p>\n

The 2026 NFL Paris Game will be held at the Stade de France, which was built in 1998 and is France\u2019s largest stadium. The Stade de France is primarily the home venue for the French national football team and the French national rugby union team.<\/p>\n

Steelers president Art Rooney II<\/a> is honored to have his club play in the NFL\u2019s first-ever regular-season game in France.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re honored to represent the Pittsburgh Steelers and the NFL in the League\u2019s first-ever game in Paris this upcoming season,\u201d Rooney said. \u201cPlaying the New Orleans Saints in such a historic setting is a great opportunity to showcase the NFL\u2019s global growth and to connect with fans around the world. It\u2019s an exciting moment for our organization and for Steelers Nation everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

This would mark the second season in a row that the Steelers play overseas after downing the Minnesota Vikings at Dublin\u2019s Croke Park. The Steelers have also played an international game in London, facing the Vikings at Wembley Stadium in 2013.<\/p>\n

The Saints have marketing rights in France. Of course, Louisiana\u2019s relationship with France has a long history.<\/p>\n

The Saints logo is a stylized lily known as the fleur-de-lis, symbolizing the city\u2019s deep French heritage<\/a>, aristocracy, and the Catholic history of New Orleans. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a privilege for the New Orleans Saints to take part in the NFL\u2019s first regular season game in France,\u201d Saints owner Gayle Benson said. \u201cLouisiana\u2019s relationship with France is centuries deep, and this game represents another meaningful step in strengthening those cultural and economic ties. The Saints are also proud partner with the NFL\u2019s flag football initiatives in France, which have grown rapidly and now engage thousands of young athletes. We are thankful to Commissioner Roger Goodell, Ambassador Charles Kushner, and our colleagues in the French Government, including Ambassador of France to the United States Laurent Bili and Consul General of France Samuel Ducroquet, for their collaboration and commitment to making this historic occasion possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com<\/a>, the Green Bay Packers were also a candidate to be the Saints\u2019 Paris opponent, but New Orleans didn\u2019t want to lose a home game against a key NFC opponent that could have major playoff implications. So the NFL went with the Steelers instead. <\/p>\n
