The NFL plays its first regular-season game in France on Sunday, October 25: the New Orleans Saints vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Stade de France, kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET (2:30 p.m. in Paris) on NFL Network. It is black and gold against black and gold, in a city whose biggest club has a fleur-de-lis on its crest.
Here is what both teams will wear, and the Paris Saint-Germain jerseys made for the game.

Quick Answers
- Who is the home team? The Saints. New Orleans is the designated home team, and the game counts as one of its nine home games.
- What are the Saints wearing? The black home jersey with the gold helmet, confirmed by the team. Captains pick the pants each week, and they have chosen black pants for both black home games so far.
- What are the Steelers wearing? White, as the road team. We expect the black helmet with gold pants, Pittsburgh's usual road look.
- Is there a special PSG jersey? Yes, two: the blue Paris Red & Blue and the garnet and gold Monogramme, both with PARIS and 75 (see below).
- Where is the game? The Stade de France in Saint-Denis, just north of Paris, home of France's national rugby and soccer teams.
The Saints: Black at "Home" in Paris

Because New Orleans is the home team, the Saints get first choice, and they published black for this game on September 7. It is their standard home look: the black jersey under the gold helmet with the fleur-de-lis. The black home set covers six of the Saints' home dates this season, and Paris is one of them.
The pants are the open question. The Saints' captains choose them each week, and they have gone with black pants in both black home games so far, so we expect the all-black-and-gold look on Sunday.
The Steelers: White on the Road

With the Saints in black, Pittsburgh wears white. Our read is the black helmet with gold pants, the road look Pittsburgh wore on Thursday night in Cleveland. The full Pittsburgh closet, including the 1933 throwback and the black alternate, is in our Steelers 2026 uniform schedule.
That makes it black and gold vs. white and gold, two franchises built on the same two colors. We grade the matchup a B+: clean contrast, and the Saints' gold helmet against the Steelers' black helmet keeps the two sides easy to tell apart.
PSG's NFL Jerseys for the Paris Game

Paris Saint-Germain made two NFL-style jerseys for the game, designed by Fanatics, with a loose fit and a deep V-neck. Both put PARIS across the chest and 75 as the number, the department code for Paris, and both carry the fleur-de-lis, the emblem PSG's crest shares with the Saints' helmet.
- Paris Red & Blue: PSG's home colors. A royal blue body, white numbers trimmed in red, red shoulders and a PSG crest on the sleeve.
- Monogramme: garnet and gold, from the club's historic colors, with gold numbers. Saints running back Alvin Kamara revealed it on October 18. The look nods to PSG's 2006-07 monogram kit.

Both went on sale October 19 on PSG's online store, in its Paris and New York stores and at the NFL store in Paris. A PSG x Saints capsule of other pieces follows on October 22. They are fan jerseys, not game uniforms: neither NFL team wears them on the field. They join a long line of soccer-meets-football crossover shirts, from Chelsea and Tottenham's NFL-style tops for the 2018 London games to Nike's 2026 World Cup "football x football" jerseys.
Why the Stade de France
The Stade de France opened in 1998 for the World Cup that France won on that same field. It seats about 80,000, hosts France's national soccer and rugby teams, and was the main stadium of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sunday makes it the first French venue to host a regular-season NFL game.
