The American football season is back for 2023/24 and there are loads of ways to stream it live and on-demand in the UK and US
American Football is finally back for another season and for 2023/24 there are more ways to stream NFL live and on-demand than ever before.
After a busy off-season which saw a 3rd overall draft pick, Trey Lance, dramatically traded from the 49ers to the Cowboys for just one draft pick, and Nick Bosa made the highest-paid defensive player in history (yes, I’m a 9ers fan), it’s time to settle down for plenty of NFL action. 32 teams split into two conferences will once again go helmet-to-helmet in a battle to reach the Super Bowl.
If you’re in the UK then you arguably have a better deal for watching America’s biggest sport on TV and online, despite caveats like blackouts on the official streaming service (more on that later).
US viewers have to jump around different broadcasters and providers to watch all games, while UK fans have a fairly straightforward set of choices. We will explain them all, don’t worry.
Kansas City Chiefs won the most recent Super Bowl and are one of the favourites to get there again but so are plenty of other top teams including the Bills, Eagles, 49ers and others. There could be a surprise like the Jets now led by Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff’s Lions, or even the unofficial UK team, the Jaguars.
But however it goes, and to quote Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora, “The NFL never disappoints”.Which NFL games are on UK TV?
We’ll explain how to watch the NFL in the UK via various providers below. But first, let’s take a look at which games will be shown on UK TV, between Sky and with kick-off times and channels.
We’ll update this each week so you know what’s being shown live.
Note that because some games happen around 1am in the UK, it means the date is technically the following day in Blighty. So, for example, American Thursday night games are actually in the early hours of Friday, which is how we list them below:
The next game in the season is the Super Bowl 2024, and we have a dedicated article with everything you need to know on watching the big game.2024 NFL International Games

It’s now customary for Sky Sports to show five live games per week with three Sunday games as well as Thursday and Monday Night Football. There will be over 100 games shown on Sky Sports this season.
Subscribers also get access to NFL RedZone for all the big plays and touchdowns as well as plenty of other content:
