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

I am hearing that DAZN has signed a contract with Godell to show all NFL content world wide for the next 10 years ?

That means no more games or GMFB or PFT or Total Access ( The Insiders ) for us.

As far as I can tell I can't even get DAZN on my Sky + HD box.

Ive watched the NFL for 40 years..looks like the end of the road me..and possibly a lot more people.

[Ben1980]

DAZN have a 10 year agreement for Game Pass but I still dont think Broadcasting rights have been agreed.

I imagine DAZN will be interested alongside Sky but I will be shocked if Sky lose it all but Goodell likes cash and DAZN with the recent Saudi backing has a ton of it.

there has been no confirmation as to uk rights from 2025 season onwards.

We have this thread discussing how there is no news:

https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/What-s-On/Sky-nfl-coverage-from-2025/m-p/4725018#M148748

Bare in mind, last time rights were up for renewal in 2020, it was only announced in August 2020.

[safc1957]

none of the shows are on the sky schedule for next week.

Its free agency time..HUGE week so the shows are definately on...but NOT on Sky.

Does NOT look good

Just heard on PFT that they're not sure if Sky is covering NFL (including the PFT Florio/Simms) programme from next week onwards. What's happening as NFL is a big part of why I have Sky TV at all???

[ozsat]

This says otherwise - The PFT Live run on Sky Sports is not ending, yet
