On Friday morning, the NFL confirmed that the league will play a game in Ireland in 2025 and the Pittsburgh Steelers will be a part of it. No word yet on the opponent.
This is a perfect match for the Steelers and Ireland. Pittsburgh ownership has ties to Ireland with former owner Dan Rooney serving as the US Ambassador to Ireland from 2009-2012. Pittsburgh has as huge fanbase in the country in part because of this and fans will come out strong to support them.
The NFL is coming to Ireland in 2025!

In terms of looking at the schedule, geography will play a role. Outside of the AFC North foes, the Steelers play the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks at home. Our early guesses would be the Colts or Dolphins to travel to Ireland.
