Folks, anyone got any news yet on skys NFL coverage from 2025, I'm hearing DAZN have got the sole rights to broadcast the NFL games in the UK so does that mean SKY will lose all it's coverage , that would be a disaster for the game here in the UK ... fingers crossed that the rumours are wrong 🤞

So would you say SKY have 1 year left and from 2025 it's good buy NFL and if you want live games it's DAZN ?

At this point, nobody outside of the NFL and any negotiating parties are aware of what the 2025 coverage will look like. At this point, Sky's exclusive games are set to expire at the end of this season but rights deals can tend to be agreed and announced with as little as a few days before an event starts. Enjoy the current season before wondering what's happening with the next one.
The only certainty is that DAZN will offer what it offers currently as that is locked down for the long term.

I really hope sky can get some sort of deal to keep showing nfl in the uk,as DANZ is a awful channel. Leaving sky will hurt the nfl in the uk as people can't afford to keep adding new channels all the time. I for one have been watching nfl since the 80's but the way things look this season may be my last and I know others who feel the same.

I have to say, I'll be glad if Sky lose the NFL contract. I moved from watching NFL on Sky to watching it on game pass and it is way better on game pass. I can pick what game I want to watch and not which Sky pick. Also if Sky lose the rights, their will be no blacked out games. Also you can get game pass on Prime now.

It's just more money to pay out that people don't have right now,I have already had to stop watching the nhl because I had to tighten up my finances and now it looks like the nfl will be going the same way. I get that things like game pass are a good idea but not everyone has the money to keep paying out. It's all getting abit stupid now having to pay to watch anything decent.

I agree, like you I use to watch F1 but stopped once Sky got nearly all the coverage. For me the only sport I watch is NFL, so game pass i perfect for me. I just hate Sky makes them black out games, it dosn't happen in the rest of europe.

A bit difficult to see any alternative now most mainstream sports are terminally addicted to their television rights revenue stream. Back in the good old days when sport was free to air on television the participants themselves were generally very poorly paid (or were genuine amateurs)

Sky doesn't have NFL rights in the handful of continental European countries in which it's a media platform.
