NFL on Sky

Just checked to see when coverage is likely to start on Sky. Noticed a few rumours that there is no deal in place at the moment which I hope is not true. Anybody heard anything about this?

Seem to go through this every year

There are no rumours just facts. There is no deal. It ended after the Super Bowl for Sky, C4 and ESPN. There is no news on coverage but don't fret it's always left until the last week.

That's the reason there was no live draft on UK tv this year.

Glad it happens every year. Hopefully its sorted soon, could do with some Total Access. Is the draft usually broadcasted on Sky then?

I think ESPN's deal is alright, C4 might be alright too. There will be a lot of huffing and puffing and a deal will be done with a week or two before the season.

Last year the draft was on ESPN and they use the US ESPN coverage. It was supposed to be this year and was even advertised as so until the week before.

Not that any if this matters to me, I have ESPN but also I'm a Gamepass user so I'm fine whatever happens.

I did have ESPN last year, but didn't really make much use of it. If the Sky deal isn't sorted, It'll be Gamepass for me I think.

I'd almost suggest gamepass anyway, unless you follow the Pats or the Packers your team probably won't be on Sky often. You mightn't be able to watch for 6 days if your team are on it but still good.

I must admit I watch the C4 game every week, but don't have Sky at my dad's

Derby, there's not much of a problem mentioning them as long as you don't post them on the page ,that's the line most of the other forums on here take.

Well I prefer to be safe, but will talk to the other mods about how they see it, we're not all exactly the same....

Anyway don't have sky at Uni, and only stay up for c4 games if I don't have an early start on Monday.

To be honest, there would be some upside if a Sky deal doesn't get worked out - gamepass would be completely blackout-free, and presumably that means we could start watching the playoffs live on gamepass, and get Red Zone through GP too?
