The Pittsburgh Steelers just got a big win—and the season hasn't even started yet. While the official 2026 NFL schedule is still under wraps, the team has already learned some promising news about their travel itinerary: they'll be logging one of the lowest mileage totals in the league.
Despite a highly anticipated international trip to Paris in Week 7 to face the New Orleans Saints, the Steelers rank near the bottom of the NFL in total travel miles. According to a report from Bill Speros, Pittsburgh comes in at No. 26 overall with just 14,183 miles of regular-season travel. That's a huge advantage for a team that values rest and preparation—especially when you consider some squads will be crisscrossing the continent for twice that distance.
The Paris game is shaping up to be a marquee event, but the rest of the schedule appears to be kind to the black and gold. Fewer miles mean less time in the air, more time in the weight room, and fresher legs heading into the stretch run. For a franchise built on physical, hard-nosed football, that kind of schedule relief could be the difference between a playoff push and a mid-season slump.
As the Steelers gear up for what promises to be an exciting season, fans can already start dreaming of game days—and the gear to match. Whether you're prepping for that overseas showdown or just stocking up for Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, now's the time to represent your team in style.
