chongli Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) I have an update for with the UK TV schedule and announcers for Week 1 and for the Week 5 Jaguars-Bills game in London, as well as some comments. https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/12118/12950824/nfl-2023-season-live-on-sky-sports-kansas-city-chiefs-miami-dolphins-new-york-jets-and-san-francisco-49ers-in-action-across-opening-three-weeks https://www.nfl.com/news/where-to-watch-the-nfl-in-2023-in-the-uk UK: SNF - NFL Kickoff Friday, September 8 - 1:20 AM: Detroit at Kansas City Sky Sports NFL and Showcase [Note: The opening NFL Kickoff Thursday night is part of the Sunday Night Football package (NBC) and is not referred as "Thursday Night Football" ("TNF"). TNF begins Week 2 with Amazon Prime.] Sunday Early Game: September 10 - 6 PM: San Francisco at Pittsburgh Sky Sports NFL and Part Sky Sports Main Event [Neil Reynolds and Phoebe Schecter are anchoring the studios live from Acrisure Stadium] [Phoebe Schecter is a former Buffalo Bills coach!] Sunday Late Game: September 10 - 9:25 PM: Miami at Los Angeles Chargers Sky Sports NFL [Hannah Wilkes and Jason Bell are anchoring from the Sky Studios in London] SNF: Monday, September 11 - 1:20 AM: Dallas at New York Giants Sky Sports NFL and Sky Sports Main Event MNF: Tuesday, September 12 - 1:15 AM Buffalo at New York Jets Sky Sports NFL, Sky Sports Main Event, and Channel 5 [Channel 5 broadcasters: Kirsten Watson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Gregg Rosenthal] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sky Sports has also announced in the link above they will be covering three of the international games live and on location: Week 6 (October 15): Baltimore vs. Tennessee at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London Week 9 (November 5): Miami vs. Kansas City at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany Week 10 (November 12): Indianapolis vs. New England at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt, Germany That means, by default, that the UK's Channel 5 will cover the other two other international games (both London), as Sky Sports is showing rugby World Cup instead those weeks: Week 4 (October 1): Atlanta vs. Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium, London Week 5 (October 8): Jacksonville vs. Buffalo at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sky Sport on-screen team this season: https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/broadcasting/sky-sports-reveals-nfl-picks/5185472.article Returning: Neil Reynolds Jason Bell Hannah Wilkes Pheobe Schecter Dante Hall New: Super Bowl champion and 5x Pro Bowler Ndamukong Suh -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also available in the UK on Sundays beginning at 6 PM on Sky Sports Mix: NFL Redzone hosted by Scott Hanson https://www.nfl.com/news/where-to-watch-the-nfl-in-2023-in-the-uk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments: So, the UK's Sky Sports each week broadcasts all the NFL prime-time games live (TNF, SNF, MNF) and also chooses two games (called "fixtures" in the UK) to show live every Sunday. If you look at the link above, which also has Sky Sports' schedule for Weeks 2 and 3, they have chosen to cover the Jets and Chiefs each time on Sunday in Weeks 2 and 3. So those two teams are being shown in the UK every time in Weeks 1-3 (prime time in Week 1 by default and by choice in Weeks 2 and 3). Damn...how much attention are they getting! I guess people across the pond are obsessed with Aaron Rodgers too. Buffalo will only be covered once in the UK the first three weeks, in Week 1 MNF, where Sky Sports has no choice but to show them. I guess our window has closed [sarcasm]!! Some people here ought to be happy about that. And Sky Sports also states this in the link above: "Sky Sports NFL announces its live fixtures [games] for Weeks 1-3 of the 2023 season, with Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets, Joe Burrow's Cincinnati Bengals and Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs in action[.]" And these are the graphics they chose to show for the NFL 2023 season in that link above: No Josh Allen!! I guess Buffalo doesn't draw numbers in the UK. I'm not making a prediction, as I don't want to jinx our team (for those who believe in that sort of stuff), but wouldn't it be a shame if the Jets lost to Buffalo on MNF for the entire nation to see? I would love to see the meltdown that Tuesday. Edited September 3, 2023 by chongli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 Also, not really sure why I am going into such detail here about UK NFL TV, lol. I hope we have a lot of fans who live in the UK on this forum! Another thing: earlier I tried typing "(September 8)" here, and it changed to a smiley face, like this when I hit "enter" at the end of the line: (September 😎 I only prevented it in the first instance above by not hitting "enter" at the end of the line.

chongli Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Tentatively, these are the Sunday, September 10 games for Buffalo TV market (DMA) on zap2it, WIVB, and WUTV: https://tvlistings.zap2it.com/ https://www.wivb.com/tv-listings/ https://wutv29.com/station/schedule WIVB Channel 4 Buffalo (CBS): 1 PM - Cincinnati at Cleveland 4:25 PM - Philadelphia at New England WUTV Channel 29 (or Spectrum Channel 6) Buffalo (FOX): 1 PM - San Francisco at Pittsburgh 4:25 PM - Green Bay at Chicago [I'm not going to look up all the other area markets as there are 210 DMA's total! (doing so would be @YoloinOhioesque). I've spent way too much time posting here today, but the late games on both networks are the lead games, so they should be on most. Either you can check yourselves if you're curious, or just wait until Wednesday.] But decisions, decisions (if I lived in Buffalo). SF-PIT will be the better early game, but of course we want to see what Cincy does as Cleveland always plays them tough. And for the late game, I want to see what Hack Jones does, but Love vs. Fields also excites me, as well as Edmunds' performance.
