How to watch the Steelers take on the Saints in Paris at no cost

This weekend, the NFL is making its debut in Paris, France, marking a significant step in its international outreach.

Despite ongoing protests and unrest in the city over the last month—and even the closure of its NFL House event the day before—the league is going ahead with the game today featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed support for this decision, stating in a press conference on Friday, “This game means a lot to the NFL. If it was unsafe, then I’m sure we wouldn’t be here.”
