Who will the Steelers play in Ireland this fall?

DUBLIN — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to host a game in Ireland during the 2025 season, and while the NFL has not officially announced that will take place, they have announced some other international hosts that have narrowed down the Steelers’ potential opponents for their Dublin game this fall.

The Steelers are expected to be the host team in Ireland, giving up a home game, as they are required to do by NFL rule at least once every eight years. The Steelers have never hosted an international game. They played as the visiting team against the Minnesota Vikings in London in 2013. The new rule requiring teams to host was put into place when the NFL went to a 17-game schedule in 2021.

Divisional games have not been part of the international series, as the NFL and teams want to maintain the competitive balance of the home-and-home series, so the Steelers likely won’t be playing the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals or Cleveland Browns in Ireland.

The Steelers other home opponents in the 2025 season will be the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Indianapolis Colts and Seattle Seahawks.
