On Monday, July 27, the New Orleans Saints announced their plans to commemorate the team’s 60th season with a yearlong celebration honoring six decades of football while looking ahead to the future of the Black and Gold. The celebration will feature commemorative branding, exclusive merchandise, fan experiences, digital storytelling, community activations, and special tributes throughout the 2026 season.
The 2026 season represents one of the most significant years in franchise history, as the Saints celebrate not only their 60th season, but also the 20th anniversary of the Black and Gold’s return to the Caesars Superdome. The year will also feature the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction and ring ceremony for Drew Brees, Saints Hall of Fame inductions of Mark Ingram II and Terron Armstead, and the franchise’s participation in the NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Paris, accompanied by a New Orleans watch party that will allow local fans to be part of the historic occasion.
Saints Owner and CEO Gayle Benson said, “For 60 seasons, the New Orleans Saints have been a source of pride, resilience and unity for both our city and the entire region. The unwavering passion of our fans, the dedication of our players and coaches, and the strength of the New Orleans community have shaped our history every step of the way. This season is a celebration of where we’ve been, who we are and all that lies ahead as we continue building on the proud tradition of Saints football.”
The celebration officially begins during 2026 Training Camp, where 60th season branding will appear throughout Saints Training Camp presented by Rouses at the Ochsner Sports Performance Center and Saints Training Camp presented by Entergy at Tulane University. Training Camp attendees will receive a complimentary 60th season commemorative poster upon entry, while season ticket holders had the opportunity to select exclusive 60th season merchandise as part of this year’s membership gift.
The team will also showcase 60 seasons of Saints football digitally by highlighting defining moments in franchise history through an interactive timeline, while commemorative street banners featuring the 60th season logo will line Poydras Street in downtown New Orleans.
Starting in September, the Saints will continue the celebration with the debut of Saints at 60, a six-part documentary series highlighting the people who have helped shape the franchise over six decades. Each episode will feature the stories of fans, media members, Cheer Krewe, halftime performers and many others whose passion has helped define Saints football.
