A typical case: a corporate sales director is coordinating transfers for clients and partners attending the NFL Paris Game. Twenty people, three different hotels, one kick-off time. The challenge is not the match itself: it is arriving on time.
On 25 October 2026, the Pittsburgh Steelers face the New Orleans Saints at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris. Kick-off is at 14:30. What few people know: the stadium car parks, normally open from €29 per day, are not available for this event. Driving to Saint-Denis that Sunday is not a practical option.
This article covers the official access routes, confirmed public transport lines and private chauffeur options. Blackmile has been operating transfers since 1997 and is familiar with the access constraints of major sporting events at Stade de France.

RER B: La Plaine – Stade de France station
La Plaine – Stade de France station (RER B — a suburban express train) is the closest to the main entrance. From Châtelet-Les Halles in central Paris, the journey takes 8 minutes. From Gare du Nord, 4 minutes.
Gates A to H of the stadium are accessible from this station. The RER B runs in the direction of Mitry-Claye or CDG Airport.
RER D, metro line 13 and metro line 14
Saint-Denis – Stade de France station (RER D and metro line 13) is reachable from Châtelet in 9 minutes via the RER D.
Metro line 14, extended to Saint-Denis Pleyel in June 2024, connects the area from central Paris. A change to the RER B at Saint-Denis Pleyel gives access to La Plaine – Stade de France station.
Stade de France parking: no spaces available on 25 October
The official Stade de France website states explicitly that no parking facilities are available for the NFL Paris Game.
On normal event days, car parks P1, P2 and P3 are open from €29 per day. For this event, they will remain closed. Travelling by private car means parking at a distance and completing the journey on foot or by public transport.
This applies to all attendees, including those with hospitality or executive suite tickets.
Chauffeur drop-off and collection: no waiting at the exit
A private chauffeur drops passengers as close to the stadium as possible and plans the pick-up from the end of the match, avoiding the post-match crowd.
The fare is fixed at the time of booking. For groups departing from different locations (hotel, residence, office), a fleet can collect each person from their own address. Staggered departures allow everyone to arrive together without logistics headaches.
For corporate guest transfers to an event, you simply provide the departure addresses, dates and number of vehicles required.
Corporate hospitality: coordinating transfers for the NFL Paris Game
For companies hosting clients in a suite or hospitality space, transport logistics come before ticket allocation. Packages available via On Location, the NFL's official hospitality partner, include (per nfl.com): Fan Favorite at €740 per person, End Zone Suite at €683, Corner Suite at €825. These packages include catering.
Blackmile handles full coordination of event transfers: hotel pick-up, stadium drop-off, post-match collection, with a contractually guaranteed SLA.
