History will be made in Croke Park in August when the first-ever regular-season NFL game is played in Ireland.
It has been confirmed this Tuesday that the historic matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings will take place on Sunday, September 28.
The week 4 fixture at GAA headquarters in Dublin will have a 2.30pm kick-off time will be broadcast live on NFL Network across the United States.
It was announced in February that the Steelers would be the designated team for the 2025 Dublin Game but until now their opponents and the date had not been confirmed.
The Steelers' venture to play a regular-season match in Dublin has been a long time coming, nearly 30 years after taking part in the only NFL contest ever in Ireland as part of the American Bowl exhibition series.
Set your alarm, Dublin. The NFL is coming to town!
