The NFL announced on Tuesday that the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings will square off in Ireland on Sunday, Sept. 28.

It will be the Steelers’ first trip overseas for a game in 12 seasons. They faced the Vikings in 2013 at London’s Wembley Stadium, losing 34-27.

The Steelers are slated as the home team for the Week 4 game, and it will be played at historic Croke Park. The game will kick off at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, 2:30 p.m. local time in Ireland.

The game will be broadcast on the NFL Network. NFL Game Pass on DAZN will broadcast all 2025 International Games in international markets outside of the U.S. The game will also stream on NFL+.

“The opportunity for the Pittsburgh Steelers to play in Ireland is truly special, not only because of the Rooney family history there but because it allows us to connect with Irish fans while also giving fans who travel from Pittsburgh and beyond a unique football experience,” Steelers President Art Rooney, II said. “We are thrilled to be part of this historic event and to represent Pittsburgh on a global stage.”

The Rooney family immigrated from Ireland to the United States, and late Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney served as the United States Ambassador to Ireland from 2009-2012 and co-founded The Ireland Funds in 1976.

The Rooney family’s passion for Ireland, and the desire to always want to play a regular-season game on Irish soil, makes it even more special to compete in a game there.

“We’re unbelievably excited about this opportunity to play in Dublin for two very specific reasons,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “First, it is an honor and privilege to represent the game of American football internationally and maybe introduce it to a new set of fans. It is a great honor to play the game that we love and be able to do so on foreign soil.

“Number two, I smile when I think about the late great Ambassador (Dan) Rooney and how fired up he would be about this game. I remember when he was Ambassador to Ireland, he would have a Fourth of July flag football game every year. I think about him, but I also simply think about the honor and privilege to play our game globally.”

The Steelers have some history with Croke Park. They played in “The American Bowl” there in a preseason game against the Chicago Bears in 1997, a game the Steelers won. That is still the only NFL game ever played on the island.
