TheTVApp NFL Guide - Watch American Football From the UK
TheTVApp NFL page is one of the most searched parts of the site, especially on Sunday evenings. Here are UK kick-off times, what the US channels show, and the legal NFL services available in the UK.
What the NFL Section Lists
In the US, NFL games are spread across CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ABC, Amazon Prime Video and NFL Network. The NFL area on TheTVApp links to some of these channels on game day, plus NFL RedZone, which jumps between every live game on a Sunday afternoon.
Because these are US broadcasts, you only see the regional game a channel is showing, with US adverts during every break. Streams also tend to fail during the final minutes of close games when traffic peaks. For a UK fan who wants every game, a licensed pass is far more reliable.
thetvapp.uk is an independent guide and does not host streams. If the main site is not opening, our TheTVApp link page explains how to spot fake copies.
TheTVApp NFL Kick-Off Times in UK Time
During the regular season, most games fall into fixed slots. The UK times below assume the usual five hour gap with US Eastern Time.
| Game slot | US time (ET) | UK time |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday Night Football | 8:15pm Thursday | 1:15am Friday |
| London game | 9:30am Sunday | 2:30pm Sunday |
| Sunday early games | 1:00pm | 6:00pm |
| Sunday late games | 4:05pm or 4:25pm | 9:05pm or 9:25pm |
| Sunday Night Football | 8:20pm | 1:20am Monday |
| Monday Night Football | 8:15pm Monday | 1:15am Tuesday |
Watch for the clock change weeks in March, October and November, when the gap drops to four hours.
Legal Ways to Watch the NFL in the UK
UK fans actually have better options than many US viewers.
NFL Game Pass on DAZN
Every game live, including RedZone, plus full replays and condensed games. The best value for serious fans.
Sky Sports NFL
A dedicated channel with several live games each week, studio shows and the Super Bowl, also on NOW.
Free-to-air highlights
Free TV in the UK has shown NFL highlights and the Super Bowl in past seasons. Check listings each year.
Super Bowl and Playoffs in the UK
The Super Bowl kicks off at about 6:30pm Eastern Time, which is around 11:30pm in the UK. With the pre-game show and the half-time show, it usually ends between 3am and 4am, so plan for a late night.
Playoff weekends in January have games on Saturday and Sunday, with early slots that suit UK evenings better than the regular season night games. Sky Sports and DAZN both carry the playoffs live.
- Set reminders for UK times, not US times
- Test your stream or app 30 minutes before kick-off
- Use a wired connection for the big game
Watching on Your TV
DAZN and NOW both have apps for Fire TV, Samsung, LG, Roku, PlayStation and Xbox. If you prefer a browser setup, our guides for using TheTVApp on Firestick and on a smart TV browser cover the steps, along with the risks of free stream pages.
