The much-anticipated 2024/25 NFL season has finally kicked off, and fans are eager to catch all the action live and on-demand. With numerous streaming options available, including some free ones, watching American football has never been easier.
In the UK, viewers have a relatively straightforward way to watch NFL games compared to their US counterparts. While US fans often have to navigate between different broadcasters and providers to catch all the games, UK fans have a more streamlined viewing experience.
The reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, are once again among the favorites to make it to the big game, along with teams like the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals. However, surprises can always happen in the NFL, with teams like the New York Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars (unofficially known as the UK team) looking to make their mark this season.
As former players Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora often say, "The NFL never disappoints."
