Why is Sky not showing Steelers/Bengals this weekend ?

[lasvegasman]

I posted last week about Sky not showing the late NFL game on Saturday and it appears to be happening again as the Steelers@Bengals at 01.00 Sunday morning has disappeared from the TV schedules . What's going on? I thought Sky had the rights to all these games and I can;t find anyone else showing this very important game for the playoff picture in this country .

Also I have recieved two notifications about people posting replies to my question concerning last weeks game but when I look they are not there . Who removed them ?

i don't know about one of the replies, but i remember seeing one up for a short time from a lisa or something. It had spam links to a high street shop inserted into it.

on the other query, you aren't talking directly to sky, you are only talking to other customers.

you could email viewer relations at viewerR@sky.uk  to ask Sky directly

when sky announced the current deal in 2020, this is is what they said it entailed:

It seems like Sky had expected to get the rights for the Steelers @ Bengals game, but were not awarded it. Or another reason is that Sky saw the start time of 1am on a Sunday morning and considered it, but decided they wouldn't get enough viewers to justify it. (This is just a guess though) 

Though DAZN and Amazon Prime* are showing it.

@Dw26 Your post has been merged to this existing thread that is discussing the same topic, a new thread isn't required.

It could be another example of choice...for our benefit. I know the late game the other week was only shown on the NFL channel, and of course we've now got games on Netflix and Prime. I'm hoping it's just that the guide needs updating though as reports still suggesting it's going to be on Sky.

The forum software may filter out posts for manual approval sometimes for a variety of reasons.

It happens everyone occasionally.

Once approved, it would then appear

**bleep**. I pay for Sky for their Sports, also for Netflix & Amazon Prime. And between them (and over £150 a month) I can't even watch the Steelers Bengals game. No wonder people laugh at me when they pay £50 a year for a fire stick with everything on 

[Fents]

Amazon aren't showing it unless you pay an extra £29.99 for the NFL pass (regardless of Prime subscription). Which I don't pay cos I pay 3 times that already for a package with Sky Sports included

@Fents  Sky don't have the rights to broadcast every game😉

[lasvegasman]

I know Sky does not have the rights to every game but it definitely had the rights to this one . It was advertised on both the Sky website and was sceduled on the Sky TV guide until Friday . I am not overly bothered about this game or the one last Saturday but there is a playoff wildcard game in this timeslot next week and I would be very unhappy if that is not shown .

I have e-mailed Sky but have not had a response yet . I will update if/when I do .
