UK NFL broadcasting has shifted noticeably since 2023 when DAZN took the international NFL Game Pass rights. The current 2026 UK picture: Sky Sports carries the live Sunday and Monday primetime broadcasts; NFL Game Pass on DAZN carries every regular-season game including the out-of-market afternoon slate; ITV carries the Super Bowl and selected London Games free-to-air. Here is what each gets you.
Sky Sports — live NFL primetime
Sky Sports’ NFL coverage in the UK includes:
- Sunday Night Football (live with UK studio coverage)
- Monday Night Football (live)
- Thursday Night Football (live — Sky’s deal includes the Amazon-produced US feed)
- Selected Sunday afternoon games
- All NFL playoff games
- The Super Bowl (Sky carries it alongside ITV’s free-to-air broadcast)
Access via:
- NOW Sports Membership — £26/mo (streaming-only) or £35/mo with Premier League included
- Sky TV + Sky Sports bundle — around £56/mo combined
Sky’s UK NFL studio team (Neil Reynolds, Jeff Reinebold, Phoebe Schecter rotating with others) anchors the UK coverage between matches.
NFL Game Pass (UK / DAZN)
NFL Game Pass moved from the NFL’s own platform to DAZN for international markets in 2023. The UK version of Game Pass is sold through DAZN at the following pricing as of 2026:
| Plan | Price (2026) |
|---|---|
| NFL Game Pass on DAZN | £14.99/mo or £124.99/season |
| Multi-Sport DAZN Tier (boxing + NFL) | £24.99/mo |
Game Pass UK includes:
- Every regular-season game live
- Out-of-market Sunday afternoon slate (the games not on Sky)
- Every preseason game
- The full playoff bracket
- The Super Bowl
- Replays, condensed games, and full-season VOD
- Coaches film (All-22)
- Hard Knocks and other NFL Films originals
For a comprehensive UK NFL fan, Game Pass UK at £124.99/season is the cleanest single-subscription answer — it includes the out-of-market afternoon games that Sky does not carry.
ITV — free-to-air NFL
ITV carries:
- The Super Bowl on ITV1 with UK commentary
- The London Games (typically two or three NFL games per October at Tottenham Stadium and Wembley) — selected games free-to-air
- NFL Highlights show during the season
Free with TV Licence (£169.50/yr). ITV’s coverage is selective but a meaningful free-to-air option for the biggest UK NFL events.
UK NFL subscription stack
For a UK fan who wants comprehensive NFL coverage:
- NFL Game Pass on DAZN — £14.99/mo or £124.99/season (every game including out-of-market afternoon slate)
- NOW Sports Membership — £26/mo (Sky’s primetime studio coverage with UK presenters)
- TV Licence £169.50/yr (ITV’s Super Bowl and London Games)
Total roughly £40/mo plus the TV Licence for full UK NFL coverage. Many fans subscribe to NFL Game Pass alone (£14.99/mo) and skip Sky if they prefer the US-produced feed over the UK studio coverage.
For a UK fan who only wants the marquee primetime games and Super Bowl: NOW Sports Membership alone (£26/mo) is sufficient.
A note on US time zones
US Sunday afternoon NFL kickoffs are typically 18:00 and 21:25 UK time (1pm and 4:25pm Eastern). Sunday Night Football is 01:20 UK time on the Monday morning — late but watchable for UK fans. Monday Night Football is 01:15 UK time on the Tuesday morning. Thursday Night Football is 01:15 UK time on the Friday morning. Sky Sports and DAZN both offer replays on demand for fans who don’t want to stay up.
