New Orleans Saints kicker Daniel Carlson took the field at Stade de France in Paris on October 25, 2026, as the team faced the Pittsburgh Steelers in an NFL international game. The matchup marked another edition of the league's global series, bringing regular-season football to the French capital.
Carlson, who has been the Saints' primary placekicker, prepared for field goal attempts during the contest at the 80,000-seat stadium. The game represented the NFL's continued expansion of its international footprint, with Paris hosting its first regular-season NFL game.
The Steelers-Saints matchup was part of the league's strategy to grow American football's global audience, following previous international games in London, Munich, and Mexico City. Stade de France, which hosted the 1998 FIFA World Cup final and 2003 World Championships in Athletics, served as the venue for the historic occasion.
