NFL monitors France street violence before Saints-Steelers game near Paris with a major decision looming | 18 Oct 2026 | The NFL is monitoring the street violence in France with no current plan to move its first-ever game in the country scheduled for next Sunday just north of Paris, but a league source said that could change if events warrant playing in a different venue. Street violence erupted across France on Saturday when peaceful marches of 500,000 to 800,000 people [“Mostly peaceful” protests?], according to reports, devolved into masked groups clashing with police, looting businesses and setting fire to private property and public buildings, including the historic city hall in Limoges. Reports on Sunday cited arrests climbing from 1,000 to 1,800, including 855 in the Paris region. Moving Sunday’s scheduled game in France back to New Orleans would require some work… Acrisure Stadium, where the Steelers play their home games, is not scheduled to hold an event that day.
