The Pittsburgh Steelers travelled to Ireland for the first regular season NFL game in the country’s history in 2025, defeating the Minnesota Vikings. It was possible that Pittsburgh was going to have to travel back overseas in 2026, but that will not be happening.
The Steelers will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2026, and it was seen as a possibility that game would take place in London, as the Jaguars play there every year. However, the Jaguars protected the home game against Pittsburgh to take place at home rather
than in London, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“According to multiple sources, the Jaguars ‘protected’ their home game against the Steelers, meaning it will likely be played in Jacksonville and not in the capital of England,” Dulac writes.
The Steelers have played in London just once in a 34-27 loss to the Vikings in 2013.
