the Arena Football League starts on March 27th - does anyone know if any games will be shown in the UK?
I had a quick look at the schedules on Eurosport and ESPN UK but I couldnt see anything in their schedules No idea of their channel number. They have a live game around midnight every night over the weekend. |

It's on Filmon.tv on Sky
No idea of their channel number. They have a live game around midnight every night over the weekend. The AFL games listed are Fri 11.30pm Cleveland at Tampa Bay Sun 2.00am Spokane at Arizona Mon 12am Philadelphia at Orlando Tue 2.30am San Jose at Las Vegas I noticed earlier in the week that "arena football league" was coming up on the Sky EPG search but that was before the games were added in the listings. The season runs through August effectively ending at start of the NFL/college games. I wonder, does anybody know any further details about the coverage? |

Thanks for the info, look forward to watching.
I did try to find out some more info in the week (by contacting the league and the channel via email) but received no response. There doesn't seem to be any more info available than the Sky EPG listings. Did anybody else try to find out more about the (supposed) coverage (and find out any more info)? |

Slightly off topic but at the owners meetings this week it came out there are 40,000 people in the south east who buy tickets for every London NFL game, so it's assumed there are 40k people out there who are highly likely to buy season tickets for the London Jaguars.
So if you're in the 40k, come 2022 when we are having to watch a 2-14 London team every week on tv, I'm blaming you.

Well, they didn't show any of it just "battlecam" throughout the time slot.

Change that figure to 39,999!! I won't be getting a Jags season ticket! I suspect I will not be in a minority either.
Did you get the NFLUK survey were they are proposing to follow some existing NFL teams where you pay twice. Once an upfront between £5k and £10k to give you rights to a particular seat in the stadium and then another £1k a year (£100 per game) for an upper tier at the front by centre line for the actual match tickets. I know Sussex cricket did this when they build a new stand at the far opposite the pavilion. A work colleague did this where there was an upfront fee for your named seat but then you have to keep on paying for a season ticket each year to actual use the seat and watch the games. |

I'd be tempted to get a ST, but not if I had to pay a seat license first. Its quite a common thing in the US, where seat licenses pay a large amount of new stadium costs - but its not really done here, and the NFL doesn't have the demand here to risk attempting it.

It is on Sky Sports 3 - as that channel is carrying non-stop NFL programme
If it on Sky Sports 1 - as some platforms are only provided Sky Sports 1 and 2. |

24 hours of pre-draft coverage... and then they only show the first round and look like they plan on making a mess of that too.

It's like the NFL does nothing after the Super Bowl, according to Sky. They want to grow the game in the UK, then they have no chance with Sky. Sky should at least show the second round of the draft. Anyway, once the draft is complete, nothing on Sky until September... Remember in the past, we had NFL all though the off season...before Sky / NFLUK thought better... |

Come on, we all know Sky don't care about the NFL..just minimal programming.

(my suspicion is that NFLuk think they need Sky more than Sky think they need the NFL) |

Tottenham have agreed a deal with the NFL to stage a minimum of two American football games a season at their new stadium.
The 61,000 capacity venue - due to open in 2018 - will feature a retractable grass pitch with an artificial surface underneath usable for NFL games. "We have an opportunity now to deliver one of the most unique sports, leisure and entertainment venues in the world, bringing together the Premier League and NFL for the first time," said Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. channel4? |

The Tottenham deal is non-exclusive so games can also be played elsewhere. Wembley are still in the running, with also Twickenham and Cardiff. |

Don't care about Sky, refuse to be blackmailed into a pay-tv subscription.
Does anyone know if Channel 4 have retained the rights to the Sunday Night Football regular season games for a sixth season ? And secondly, have they still got the broadcast rights to the Super Bowl and the three Wembley games ? |

NFL presumably want some kind of free to air coverage and Sky don't appear to care about games with 1am UK time starts. |

I won't be buying tickets to the Tottenham games. Travelling from Sheffield, Wembley has great links and I can be on the M1 within 15 mins of the game ending. It would have been nice to try out a game at Old Trafford (see how many London fans really are dedicated).
