The NFL continues to expand its international footprint. After announcing a 2026 regular-season game in Australia recently, the league has revealed that there will be a game in Ireland in 2025.
Alas, the Detroit Lions will not be involved in the trip to Croke Park Stadium in Dublin for the game. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been designated the host team for the NFL’s first-ever game in Ireland. Detroit and Pittsburgh will indeed play in 2025, but the game will be at Ford Field in Ireland.
There is early speculation that the Green Bay Packers will be Pittsburgh’s foe in their Irish trip. The official announcement of the schedule comes later this offseason.
