    Guys and Gals, Can I watch Gamepass on the Xbox One via the NFL App ? I have the App up at the moment but can't see Gamepass or how to sign up with it.

    No, Sky have all the games now, unfortunately.
    Sky Sports will be showing NFL's Sunday Night Football live for the next two years, bringing viewers an additional game a week and taking the schedule to more than 100 live matches a season.

    NFL fans with Sky Sports can enjoy more coverage than ever before across TV, online, mobile and tablet devices with at least five games a week across the regular season, every play-off clash, the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl.

    Also new for this season is Monday Night Football, which alongside Thursday and Sunday games, provides viewers with more matches during the regular season. Sky Sports will also be showing exclusively live pre-season coverage for the first time in seven years, as New Orleans Saints host the Houston Texans on Sunday 30 August.

    Yep. Not working right now though because they are doing a massive upgrade on it. Will be available by week 1 though.

    I hope this is true. There's not much of an offering left for Gamepass if the 4 best games of every weekend are blacked out.

    Since Sky sealed the deal for SNF and MNF after gamepass prices were set i don't think they could blackout these games on gamepass. But it might be something Sky might demand happening in future.

    Funnily Sky now having SNF and MNF means I might not bother with Gamepass now as all I'll need is to be able to pick the Sunday afternoon games and other sources may suffice for that.

    For users living in the UK and Republic of Ireland:

    Weekly blackout restrictions apply to all subscriptions (Season Plus, Season, Monthly, Weekly, and Follow Your Team) for locally televised Regular Season games during both the 1pm ET and 4pm ET game windows on Sunday. These live game broadcasts will be blacked out in your area while the game is in progress. You will be able to watch them in the NFL Game Pass archives twenty-four (24) hours after their conclusion. These blackout restrictions apply to the Condensed Game and mobile archives of the selected games as well.

    Monday, Thursday and Sunday Night games as well as U.S. Thanksgiving Day games will not be subject to blackouts in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Additional game restrictions may be added throughout the season due to regional broadcast rights.

    All live broadcasts of the 2014 Playoffs including Super Bowl XLIX will be blacked out in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Each Playoff game (Super Bowl XLVIX included) will be made available twenty-four (24) hours after the conclusion of its live broadcast. These blackout restrictions apply to the Condensed Game and mobile archives of the selected games as well. While these games will not be available live in NFL Game Pass, they are available live locally on television. Please visit http://www.nfluk.com/tv-and-radio/tv-schedule.html to check availability.

    The date on that is 2014 though... "2014 playoff games".

    I thought I saw somewhere that the Sunday 6pm and 9.25pm games would be blacked out here, can't remember where I saw that though.

    dont mind blackouts anyway guys, very easy ways around them. Just start the gamepass console in another country and you can watch what you want.

    Sky 6pm & 9pm games are blacked out as normal with Gamepass...the one that isn't is the SNF ie: late game in the US, the one that used to be on C4 after midnight.

    Yeah I just VPNed through Brazil and paid for the season subscription. It cost 394.99 riel which AIB is saying is 102.05, only 45 cent difference from what XE says. That's a pretty good deal.

    Quick question, do you have to turn on the VPN to whatever country you paid in every time you want to watch or are you ok watching from 'Ireland' once your subscription is accepted?

    How do you fill in your billing address using a Brazilian VPN? If you put Ireland, will that not tip them off?

    All you have to do is chose the currency from the drop down.
    That's all I did
