Vikings and Steelers to meet in historic game in Ireland

Top of the morning to you, fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings are going across the Atlantic Ocean to make some history this upcoming NFL season. 

The first-ever regular season NFL game in Dublin, Ireland is at Croke Park. The contest will take place Week 4 on Sept. 28 and broadcast on the NFL Network.

The home-team Steelers are connected to the “Emerald Isle” through the franchise’s ownership in the Rooney family. The Steelers were awarded rights to expand their branding for the Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland, as part of the NFL’s Global Markets Program, in May 2023. 

The NFL is playing a record seven international games in 2025 – three in England, and one in Germany, Spain (also a first-time venture), Ireland and Brazil.
