5 things to know as the Saints get ready for Sunday in Paris 🇫🇷 https://t.co/wUCH8k3xLO Via @Saints on X

What happened: The New Orleans Saints are wrapping up their Friday schedule in France after arriving in the capital on Tuesday for their Week 7 international game. Team Owner Gayle Benson and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell met with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace on Friday ahead of the Sunday matchup.

Why it matters: The overseas contest gives New Orleans a chance to build on momentum from its 34-27 road win at the New York Giants on Oct. 18. Securing consecutive victories would move the club closer to .500 ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.

By the numbers: New Orleans stands at 2-4 overall with a one-game winning streak through the first six weeks of the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Final game-day inactive lists will be released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's kickoff in Paris.
