NFL Week 7 includes planned France debut

Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season includes a full slate on Sunday, Oct. 25, led by the Steelers-Saints game in Paris, the league's first regular-season game in France. That contest kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET and airs nationally on NFL Network, with local broadcasts also available in Pittsburgh and New Orleans. Baltimore hosts Cincinnati with Tyler Huntley starting after Lamar Jackson was ruled out because of an ankle injury. Atlanta hosts San Francisco with multiple players ruled out on both sides. Sunday Night Football is Chiefs-Seahawks, and Monday Night Football is Cowboys-Eagles. Denver is scheduled to visit Arizona after its Week 6 win over Seattle and has additional standalone games later in the season. Contested: none found. No source disputes the schedule, kickoff time, broadcasts, or the Jackson-Huntley status.
What each side asserts, disputes — or leaves out entirely.
Whose framing of this story rings truest to you?
Steelers and Saints feel like random choices for the first France game, but at least it is not another London matchup.
That 9:30 a.m. kickoff means I will be watching from bed with coffee, which beats the usual Sunday routine.
Taking an NFL game to Paris is a smart way to grow the sport overseas without forcing too many changes.
