Sky Sports NFL schedule: what to watch in the UK

The Sky Sports NFL schedule is published on Sky Sports’ NFL fixtures page, where you can check this week’s games, UK kick-off times and channels. Sky Sports shows more than half of all NFL games live in the UK in 2026, including Sunday double-headers, RedZone, the playoffs and Super Bowl LXI. Start with the official Sky Sports NFL schedule to find the game you want, then check the subscription cost before buying.

What channel are the NFL games today?

Check the channel beside your chosen fixture in Sky Sports’ current NFL schedule. This page does not have a verified list of today’s fixtures, so use Sky’s listing for the current game, start time and channel.

Search for your team or the match you want, then read the whole listing. A general statement that NFL coverage is available on Sky Sports does not identify the channel carrying a particular game. If the fixture information does not answer your question, check Sky’s TV guide or its help pages before choosing a subscription.

Keep the date in view when planning your viewing. An article about this weekend’s coverage may not answer a question about tonight. Use the date attached to the fixture, and check the listing again before you settle down to watch.

How to check your viewing plan

  1. Open Sky Sports’ NFL fixtures page and find the relevant day.
  2. Find your chosen game and check its listed UK kick-off time and channel.
  3. Check your Sky account to confirm that your package includes the required access.
  4. If the listing or your package is unclear, use Sky’s help pages before paying for a change.

What NFL coverage does Sky Sports include?

Sky Sports shows more than half of all NFL games live in the UK in 2026. Its coverage includes Sunday double-headers, RedZone, the playoffs and Super Bowl LXI.

That gives you several ways to follow the season, but it does not mean every game is on Sky. If you want to follow a particular team, check its individual fixtures against Sky’s schedule. If you mainly want the Sunday double-headers or RedZone, look for those entries when planning your viewing.

Super Bowl LXI takes place on Sunday 14 February 2027 and is live on Sky Sports in the UK. You can put that date in your diary now, then return to Sky’s schedule for the programme details closer to the event.

All six 2026 NFL games in Europe, including the three in the UK, are live on 5, Sky Sports and NFL Game Pass on DAZN. For those fixtures, check the official listings from each broadcaster before deciding which service to use. DAZN publishes its current NFL Game Pass prices and terms on its own website.

How much is a full Sky Sports subscription?

Sky Sports Complete costs £33 a month extra on a 24-month minimum term when you take or renew Sky’s Streaming TV subscription. Outside a minimum term, Sky Sports costs £35 a month on Sky’s standard pricing.

The important word is extra. The Sky Sports Complete price is an addition to the required TV subscription. A new customer needs the current base-package price as well as the sports price to work out the full monthly bill.

Sky Sports at standard pricing outside a minimum termSky charges £35 a monthOutside a minimum term, with applicable account terms to check with SkyCheck your full account bill and any required TV package

At Sky’s £33 monthly add-on price, £33 multiplied by 24 comes to £792 over the 24-month minimum term for the sports add-on alone. Your required TV subscription increases the total. Check the current base price on Sky’s deals page, then add it to £33 to calculate your monthly payment.

Sky’s £35 standard monthly sports price is £2 a month more than its £33 offer. That difference helps you compare the sports element, but it does not establish which complete package is cheapest for you. Your base subscription, eligibility and commitment also matter.

A reliable worked total for a new customer needs a confirmed base-package price. That price is not included here, so use the full amount shown in Sky’s checkout before ordering. Existing customers should use the price and renewal terms shown in their account.

Which option suits you?

The best starting point depends on whether you already have Sky Streaming TV and whether you want a minimum-term commitment. The available prices identify the lower sports add-on price, but they do not establish the cheapest complete service for every household.

Do not treat “outside a minimum term” as a complete explanation of cancellation conditions. Sky’s account area and help pages are the places to confirm how a change would affect your own subscription.

Is Sky showing all Premier League games?

The NFL coverage described here does not establish which Premier League matches Sky shows. Check Sky’s current Premier League fixtures and TV guide for the football match you want before choosing a package.

Use the same approach for the broader question, “What’s on Sky Sports?” Start with the sport and fixture, confirm the channel, then check access. For another sport’s listings, our sky sports darts schedule page is a separate starting point. You can also read our IPTV UK sky sports guide when comparing subscription information.
