As part of the NFL’s ongoing effort to grow the game internationally, the league is taking another big step in its global expansion, announcing that it will play its first-ever regular-season game in Dublin, Ireland, in 2025. The league also announced that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been selected as the home team.
For Steelers fans, the game carries extra meaning. The Steelers’ owner, Art Rooney II, has been a longtime supporter of bringing the NFL to Ireland. Pittsburgh actually played a preseason game in Dublin back in 1997, but this will be the first time a regular-season contest will be held there.
