Sky nfl coverage from 2025

[Garyb0161]

Totally agree, the reason the NFL has become so popular is because of SKY , just look at how fast the games sell out at Wembley, and  as a comparison how many people now watch Moto GP now it's on TNT compared to when it was on BBC .... bad move by the NFL if they don't sign a deal with SKY !!

The NFL was very popular in the 80's well before SKY started showing it, SKY just jumped on the bandwagon. That's like saying SKY made F1 more popular now, just because they show it.  SKY is a dieing format on how people view content now, people stream what they want now. I went to NFL games at the old Wembley and they sold out quick to, thats nothing new.

I don't think the NFL is as popular on SKY as you think, because why did they stop the NFL channel on SKY sports? I guess it wasn't because it was so popular?

Anyway SKY upset me last night by showing the Bengals game 😄

Yes and No.

Whilst is true that the current young generation of people below 30 do tend to stream all their viewing, unfortunately that isn't the case for the entire populiation which is typically the reason why sports broadcasting rights are no longer going to 1 provider with broadcasting packages split between different broadcasters ( and typically different platforms, some traditional broadcasters and some stream only like DAZN or Amazon).

Well firstly, a public answer from any sky staff member answering of whether they are negotiating or not on nfl and la liga would probably be breaching non-disclosure term of employment contract, and would probably be breaching commercially sensitive information

You are only speaking to other customers here as this is customer helping customer forum.

There is a discussion on this

There has not yet from what I have seen, any announcement of rights for the 2025 season for nfl.

Why does sky Sports main event UHD never have the early NFL game in  its entirety. Literally every week it doesn't broadcast the game until it's almost over.So frustrating to only see the last qtr of the game every weekend.

I think it is just as other sport is on at the time on it. 

The main event channel is for the biggest live sport on at that moment (don'thate me for saying that. I watch the nfl too), so that means sometimes other sports preempt the nfl coverage on sky sports main event

Though I note tomorrow the broncos and bills game is schedule on main event uhd
