📺 Which NFL Games Are on TV in the UK This Week?
You don’t necessarily need NFL Game Pass to watch NFL games live in the UK.
During the 2026 season, games are available across Sky Sports, 5/5ACTION and NFL Game Pass on DAZN, giving UK NFL fans a mixture of subscription and free-to-air coverage.
🆓 NFL on 5 – Free-to-Air
NFL fans in the UK can watch selected games free-to-air on 5 and 5ACTION during the season.
For Week 2, current listings identify Cincinnati Bengals @ Houston Texans and Washington Commanders @ Dallas Cowboys as the free-to-air Sunday selections.

[Rookie: I’d double-check the exact 5/5ACTION channel allocation on Sunday and update this line then.]
🔵 NFL on Sky Sports
Sky Sports carries live NFL games throughout the 2026 season, including selected Sunday games and primetime fixtures.
For UK fans, it’s worth checking which games Sky has selected each week, particularly if you’re deciding which of the simultaneous Sunday fixtures to watch.
UK Rookie will update the Sky Sports NFL selections above as they’re confirmed.
🏈 NFL Game Pass on DAZN
For fans who want access to games beyond the main UK TV selections, NFL Game Pass on DAZN is another way to follow the NFL in the UK.
It’s particularly useful if you support a specific NFL team and don’t want to rely on that team’s game being selected for UK television.
🔴 What Is NFL RedZone?
Can’t decide which game to watch?
NFL RedZone jumps between the Sunday afternoon games as teams get close to scoring, showing touchdowns, big plays and important moments from across the league.
For new NFL fans, think of it as spending Sunday evening with one screen constantly jumping to wherever the action is happening.
It’s one of the easiest ways to follow a busy NFL Sunday without choosing just one game.

🇬🇧 What Time Do NFL Games Start in the UK?
Most NFL Sundays are split into several UK viewing windows.
6:00pm — Early Sunday games
Around 9:05pm–9:25pm — Late Sunday games
Around 1:20am Monday — Sunday Night Football
Around 1:15am Tuesday — Monday Night Football
The exact UK kick-off times can change during the season because of daylight-saving differences between the UK and United States, so always check the latest schedule.
UK Rookie updates the times on this page each week.
💰 Can I Watch the NFL for Free in the UK?
Yes.
Selected NFL games are shown free-to-air on 5 and 5ACTION during the regular season. The NFL’s agreement with 5 also includes the Super Bowl, NFL London and Dublin games, Thanksgiving coverage and selected playoff games.
That makes free-to-air television a particularly useful option if you’re new to the NFL and aren’t ready to commit to a subscription.
🌙 Is the NFL on TV Tonight in the UK?
During the NFL season, games are generally played on Thursday night, Sunday and Monday night in the United States.
Because of the time difference, some of those games don’t begin until after midnight in the UK.
