    It was slightly tongue in cheek... a live game of american football is such a rarity on Irish channels to have 2 on at same time has a certain absurdity.

    Below link on the NFL site confirms all is the exact same this season for the NFL UK TV coverage, this is the final season of the existing Sky/ITV/Channel 5 deals nothing yet about main live coverage from 2025 though you would expect Sky to retain that

    Hmm. That's says J Bell & Osi will do the London games & Superbowl but doesn't seem to mention the weekly show, unless I missed it.

    It does mention Gamepass on DAZN. I've watched a few pre season games on that, as far as I can tell they're free? I had a subscription last year but I'm sure it lapsed. Will be getting it again next month, though.

    On the NFL website link I provided if you scroll down near the bottom for the daily schedules it confirms on Friday's The NFL Show on ITVX and ITV1. It's the final year of a 3 year contract for ITV so they are obliged to continue the show despite ITV clearly taking way less care with the show than the BBC did

    Pre-season games on DAZN are free aswell as the NFL Network and select other shows, all regular season games are paywalled you need a Game Pass subscription to view them

    I dont see any broadcast of NFL show in ITV or VM listings for Sepember 5th - 8th. Would seem strange to skip opening weekend.

    I checked ITV4 also.

    If anyone spots it in listings pls bump this thread.

    Still no sign. The Jason & Osi podcast did it's season's preview on 9th Sept last year, and I do remember being amazed at how little promotion the TV show got last year. So I'm hoping they both just pop up next week.

    I have just checked the ITVX player and all search results of NFL have vanished. Up until a month ago I had NFL shows saved in my ITVX favourites they had old series of Hard Knocks and a few other NFL bits uploaded on the player

    I wonder if ITV have bailed out on the final year of their contract? It wouldn't be surprising especially after last season when NFL was blatantly not being taken seriously by ITV and the NFL show became 3 lads mostly bantering. I would welcome a return to the BBC even though their coverage declined and that would surely be the only other destination as the NFL wants decent viewership for the Super Bowl and the London Games

    The Channel 5 Sunday morning End Zone show is still listed on Sunday morning at 9.15am

    While I've no idea where The NFL Show has gone, it doesn't seem that ITV are abandoning the contract.

    Or, if they are they haven't let the NFL know yet! The NFL website has recently listed the Jets/Vikings and Jags/Patriots as the 2 London games that ITV (and therefore VM) will show this year. It also refers to The NFL Show being every Friday, though this could just be text left over from last year. I guess we'll see.

    Where to watch the NFL in 2024 in the UK

    The NFL Show is confirmed as cancelled, no replacement but two NFL London games and Super Bowl will continue to be shown live on ITV so should be the same with Virgin Media

    Really strange for that to be announced so late before the season started with a contract in place, I can only assume the ITV ratings were horrendous in the early hours of Saturday morning graveyard slot compared to when it was on the BBC following MOTD and both parties felt it was better to kill it off for the final year of the contract. It's regressive for the NFL losing a highlights show on UK terrestrial TV

    Jesus what? I assumed ITV went to great trouble to get it from BBC in the first place?

    I blame ITV.

    Never, ever let ITV near sports broadcasting. Only bad things happen.

    I know a lot of people won’t have it, but if you have free to air satellite, you can still catch (or more likely record) ESPN Monday Night Football at 1:30am on Monday (into Tuesday) on Channel 5. They also have an “NFL Endzone” show on Sunday mornings which I haven’t watched but gather is a bit of a different affair to The NFL Show.

    Also free, you can log into the Dazn app without a subscription and access NFL Network (with live regular season games replaced with alternative programming). They do have some highlights available to non-subscribers as I recall - the short packages I think.

    Nope. Not a single mention of the tv show whatsoever.

    VM are filling the slot with the Mike Tomlin show... which appears to the Steelers coach discussing their next game.

    11am Saturdays on VM2

    On VM4 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

    Yes ITV definitely wanted the terrestrial rights to the NFL some background on the deal signed 2022 is in this link below

    It could well have been NFL UK pulling the highlights show possibly due to poor late night ITV ratings and cost cuts which we have seen hammering the NFL Network this year. There has been in a shift in many sports for highlights to be uploaded to Youtube this may be the direction they are going in with this new Youtube highlights package starting on Tuesday but you are definitely not going to grow the sport much further in a territory without a slickly produced highlights show on terrestrial TV that had a strong timeslot like post-MOTD on BBC

    I've no idea how it was expected to grow it's audience since they gave it a rubbish time slot and then never promoted it ever.

    Can't help noticing that this week and last after Match of the Day BBC are showing NFL...in the shape of that Tom Brady documentary.

    Such a shame. Anyone watching this, good as it is, is likely to be an NFL fan who would prefer to be watching the f*ckin NFL show.
