NFL TV coverage

teachinggal123

Will the BBC still be doing their 2 weekly NFL shows this year? Anyone know when these will start?

I’m also presuming Sky will have the usual coverage. Hopefully red zone will stay on Mix and still be free.

Also, GamePass seems to have its act together a bit better this year. Hope I’m not speaking too soon ...

Unsure about the BBC, they've always been vague with their coverage. I also heard that Red zone is moving to Sky Sports Arena, but I hope this isn't true.

Pretty much the same coverage this season for both Sky and BBC, though BBC will be showing only 2 of the 4 UK games live instead of all 3 last season.

with pay-TV broadcaster Sky entering its final season of a five-year rights deal.

We could have a bidding war with BT coming up. They already have NCAA football, NBA and MLB

My Gamepass Samsung TV app appears to have died. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago

Last year it always came on just after MOTD, there's some reality rap bullsh*t show on first that week.

Jason Bell is one of, if no the most annoying NFL presenter there is.

That was a strange line to include that sky are in the last year of their deal. Surely sky will do all they can to keep the NFL and not make the same mistake as they did with the WWE.

As ScrubsfanChris says, it'll probably come down to who's got the deeper pockets, BT or Sky? I'm sure BT would love to get their hands on it.

Not that I have regular access to sky but I don’t have access to BT and while I’m all in with game pass because of the situation I’d hate to see sky lose the rights to the NFL.

No idea yet but a good way to maybe know I is to find out which game joe buck and Troy aikman are calling.

I'd say they'd be on the Cowboys game at 9:25.

As for the 6pm game, they could go with the Browns/Titans to see if Cleveland lives up to the hype.

Falcons/Vikings and Panthers/Rams are two other games that look interesting.

Positive it was the hours before the opening game on Thursday last year that they announced the live games for the opening weekend & it was Tuesday from there after but open to correction.
