NFL fans may see NASA astronauts and airplane flyovers at some games
At least four NFL games could feature NASA astronaut appearances and flyovers this season under a new partnership. Here's the schedule so far.
The National Football League (NFL) is collaborating with NASA for the upcoming 2026-27 season, introducing aeronautics and space exploration exhibits at select games. NASA's involvement will include astronauts making appearances and aircraft flyovers during four games before the end of October. The partnership aims to inspire the next generation to envision possibilities in space exploration.
NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman expressed excitement over this new collaboration. Four NFL games have been confirmed for NASA participation, with start times set at 1 p.m. They are scheduled for September 13 (Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons), September 20 (Baltimore Ravens vs. New Orleans Saints), October 4 (Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams), and October 11 (New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns).
NASA's NFL tour will culminate in a space-themed expo at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, featuring a Nov. 7-8 air show and celebration of America's 250th birthday.
