Two days before the Steelers and Saints meet at the Stade de France, the NFL is opening its doors a short walk from the Place Vendôme. NFL House takes over the Pavillon Cambon Capucines, at 46 Rue Cambon in the 1st arrondissement, on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October 2026, from midday to 7pm both days — with a dedicated Kids Morning on the Friday, from 9am to 11am, before the doors open to everyone else.
Admission is free, but every slot has to be booked in advance through the NFL OnePass app, where visitors pick an entry window and present their ticket on arrival. Once inside, the biggest draw for most fans will be a genuine piece of NFL history: the Vince Lombardi Trophy, awarded each season to the Super Bowl winner, on display alongside a collection of 60 Super Bowl rings — more championship hardware than most fans will ever see in one room.
From the gridiron to the gaming zone
The rest of NFL House is built for people who’ve never watched a down of football as much as for those who know every rule. NFL Explained, staffed by coaches and players from the French American Football Federation, walks visitors through positions, terminology and how a game actually unfolds, while the NFL Football Experience lets them test their own speed, accuracy and reflexes on a set of skills challenges. Gamers have their own corner too, in a Gaming Zone built around head-to-head Madden NFL matches.
A full programme, not just an exhibition
A live stage runs through both days with NFL talks, appearances by players and league personalities, meet-and-greets with content creators, competitions and DJ sets, alongside an NFL Presse corner styled like a newspaper kiosk and an NFL Café for food and drinks, sold separately from the free entry. Breitling, a partner of the event, also hosts its own activation on site. Between the trophy case and the Madden tournaments, NFL House is less a sideshow to Sunday’s game than a two-day festival in its own right — and, for now, one of the cheapest front-row seats to American football that Paris has ever offered.
