NFL WC game Dolphins v Chiefs showing on sky NFL HD?

[Argo57]

Sky NFL HD has the Dolphins v Chiefs Game scheduled to be shown at 1.00am on Sunday 13 Jan. 

Is this still being broadcast as I thought Peacock only had the rights to show this game. Is it on sky or not?

That might be true for the US, but Peacock never carried any Sports content in the UK, and has now ceased to be.

@Argo57  Sky will show all the NFL post season games, regardless of which US broadcaster hosts the game.

$110 million for US rights to one game.  Ouch.

It surely can't be possible to make your money back on that one game. I can't see how they would get enough new paying subscribers to possibly justify it.

I guess the tactic is to convince US fans that in coming years it's worth an extra subscription to get the complete set of coverage.  Kind of like the PL has done by splitting their rights in the UK between platforms ; )

Well now we know where Comcast's spare cash is being used. 🤣

It's from the $200,000,000 they unexpectedly didn't lose on Peacock in 2023 ; )

" according to Comcast CEO Mike Cavanagh , the platform saw $2.8 billion in losses this year (coming in under the $3 billion projected by the company back in January) "
