Steelers vs. Saints: Kickoff Time, TV Channel, and How to Watch

Steelers vs. Saints is the NFL’s Week 7 international game on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France. The U.S. national TV broadcast is on NFL Network. In the Pittsburgh and New Orleans markets, the game is also listed on WTAE-TV and WDSU 6, respectively; U.S. fans can watch on a phone or tablet with NFL+ Premium. The best option depends on where you are watching and whether you need a TV screen, a mobile stream, or audio.

Kickoff time and location

The NFL schedule lists the game for Sunday, October 25, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. That is 9:30 a.m. EDT (UTC-04:00) in the U.S. Eastern zone and 8:30 a.m. CDT (UTC-05:00) in the Central zone. At the venue, kickoff is 2:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00) at Stade de France; the same instant is 1:30 p.m. UTC.

The time labels matter on this date: European clocks move back on the last Sunday of October, while U.S. daylight saving time continues until the first Sunday in November. Paris is therefore on CET by kickoff, not CEST. The Steelers’ official game announcement confirms the date, venue, and 9:30 a.m. Eastern start; the European Commission’s seasonal-time guidance and U.S. daylight-saving statute explain the clock-change rules behind the conversion.

This is a neutral-site game in France, so neither team is playing at its regular home stadium. If you are making plans around the early U.S. start, check your television guide in advance and leave time to sign in to any streaming app before kickoff.

Ways to watch Steelers vs. Saints in the United States

The teams’ Steelers viewing guide and Saints viewing guide confirm the network and local stations. If you are outside those local markets, a local affiliate may not carry the game in your area; NFL Network is the clearest full-game TV route. Streaming-service channel lineups can change, so verify the exact package and device support before you subscribe or travel.

Radio options if you do not need video

Radio is a practical alternative for an early kickoff, commuting, or following the game while away from a screen. In the Pittsburgh area, the Steelers list WDVE 102.5 FM and WBGG 970 AM. In New Orleans, the Saints list WWL on 105.3 FM and 870 AM. Westwood One is the national radio broadcast named in the Saints’ game guide. Local AM/FM reception is limited by coverage, and online audio can have location restrictions, so check the station or team app where you are.

Follow live scores, plays, and team updates

Keep the official Saints Game Center open for the live box score, scoring summary, play-by-play, and highlights. The NFL game page is another place to follow the matchup and check league coverage. These are useful if your broadcast is delayed or you want to track drives and scoring without streaming video.

For last-minute lineup news, use the teams’ official game-day pages for inactives and updates. The Steelers also say postgame press conferences are streamed on Steelers.com, the official mobile app, and the team’s YouTube channel; the Saints publish postgame reactions through their official site and app. Those options are useful after the final whistle, while the game center is better for live play tracking.

Which option should you choose?

• Choose NFL Network if you want a full-screen national broadcast and already have access through a TV package.
• Choose WTAE or WDSU if you are in the corresponding local market and prefer a local channel, including an antenna where reception permits.
• Choose NFL+ Premium if you will be watching on a phone or tablet in the United States.
• Choose radio and the official game center if you want play-by-play and live stats without keeping a video stream open.

Before kickoff, confirm your local station, provider package, or NFL+ sign-in and open the official game center. That gives you a fallback for scores and play-by-play if a stream buffers or your viewing option is not available in your location.
