You can watch the latest must-see NFL games from the US without spending a penny on sports subscriptions.
It's all thanks to a new NFL show airing on Channel 5 on Sunday evenings, which will feature two games each week throughout the American football season. The first game will be broadcast at 6pm on Channel 5, and the second will be streamed live at 9pm on 5ACTION — which is a free channel owned by Channel 5.
That's not all, though.
You'll also be able to watch the Super Bowl in the UK, along with the NFL London and Dublin Games. Plus, you can view Thanksgiving Day specials and three of their playoff games in the postseason.
This is part of a multi-year deal that includes live coverage of the NFL season, which has not been available in the UK for a while. Coverage of the games will start at 5:30pm on game nights, hosted by Dermot O'Leary, Sam Queke, and two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora.
To access Channel 5, you can tune into Freeview, Freesat and Freely, which are all free-to-air

"I'm really excited about hosting Big Game Night – the show combines two of my big loves: entertainment television and American football. I think it will be a really fun, silly and brilliant way to watch the game, so I hope people enjoy it," said Mr. O'Leary.
Mr. Umenyiora said: "The NFL is growing faster than ever in the UK, and I'm thrilled to continue playing a part in that expansion by bringing it to a new home on 5. These shows will give returning fans the insight they love while introducing viewers to the excitement of the game. It's incredible to see the NFL becoming a truly global sport and inspiring more fans than ever."
If you're interested in streaming these, mark your calendars for the first Sunday games, which will kick off on Channel 5 and 5ACTION on Sunday, September 7.
To access this, you can tune into Freeview, Freesat, and the newest addition to the lineup, Freely. These are all free-to-air and are usually baked into the software on your flatscreen, so there's no need for an extra set-top box. That said, you will need a TV licence to watch all of this US content.
