The 2024/25 American Football season is finally here, much to the delight of fans around the world. With more options than ever to stream NFL games live and on-demand, including some free options, it’s easier than ever to catch all the action.
In the UK, fans have a relatively straightforward set of choices for watching NFL games on TV and online, with Sky Sports being the main broadcaster for live games. The Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off back-to-back Super Bowl wins, are once again one of the favorites to make a deep run in the playoffs, along with teams like the 49ers, Ravens, and Bengals.
For UK viewers, the NFL Game Pass is the official online streaming service for American football, offering live and on-demand games throughout the season. Hosted by DAZN, the service provides access to US broadcasts, game downloads for offline viewing, and a range of NFL shows and programs.
While Game Pass offers a free plan with highlights and previews, the Season Pro plan is available for ÂŁ159.99 for the season or 12 monthly payments of ÂŁ15.99. There are also options for Weekly Pro subscriptions, but blackout rules may apply to certain games.
New for this season, NFL Game Pass can also be accessed through Amazon Prime Video and YouTube as an add-on channel subscription. This allows fans to watch games for ÂŁ159.99 for the season or ÂŁ29.99 per month.
In the US, watching NFL games without cable can be challenging due to the multiple broadcasters and providers. Options include the NFL+ streaming service, SlingTV, YouTube TV, Hulu+ Live TV, and games on Peacock via NBCUniversal. A digital antenna is also a simple and cost-effective way to watch games on TV.
For fans watching from abroad, using a VPN like NordVPN can help bypass geo-restrictions and access UK or US services to watch NFL games. By masking your IP address, you can appear to be in a different location and stream games from anywhere in the world.
As the season kicks off, fans can look forward to a series of international games, including matchups in Brazil, London, Germany, and more. With the NFL season in full swing, there’s no shortage of ways to catch all the action and excitement of America’s favorite sport.
