Trump Says Paris NFL Game Could Have Been Postponed Amid Protests
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that an upcoming NFL game in Paris, France, between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints, could have been postponed due to street protests occurring in the city.
Tyler Longview, TX, October 23, 2026 —
U.S. President Donald Trump said an upcoming NFL game in Paris between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints could have been postponed because of street protests in the city. His statement described a possible delay, not a confirmed postponement.
The information provided does not specify when the game is scheduled, when Trump made the statement, or where he made it. It also does not include a direct quotation, so the wording of his remarks cannot be independently reproduced here.
No details were provided about the protests, including their location, timing or scale. The available information does not establish whether they affected plans for the game or whether officials considered changing its schedule. It also does not say that the game was ultimately postponed.
The account does not include a response from the NFL, either team, or event organizers. It therefore remains unclear whether the league or organizers confirmed that postponement was considered, or whether any scheduling decision was made. No information was provided about any alternative date or venue.
Based on the stated information, the central point is Trump’s suggestion that protests could have led to a postponement. Further details about the event’s schedule and any response from the league or teams were not included. The distinction between a possibility mentioned by Trump and a confirmed change to the game’s plans remains important: the summary reports the former and provides no confirmation of the latter.
