Channel 5 to Show NFL Matches and Super Bowl in New Deal - Liverpool Echo

On Sunday September 7, 5 and Paramount UK announced a multi-year partnership with the NFL and CBS Sports to broadcast two Sunday evening games weekly, starting at 6pm on Channel 5 and 9pm on 5ACTION.
Ben Frow noted 5 advances its sport offering by delivering live primetime NFL games free-to-air, while Channel 5's recent rights deals and 53% streaming growth signal deeper sports investment.
5 is partnering with Hungry Bear Media to air NFL: Big Game Night alongside the 6pm games, where two teams of friends and family compete for prizes and a holiday to an NFL city in the United States.
Under the agreement, the broadcaster will show the Super Bowl, NFL London and Dublin Games, Thanksgiving Day specials, and three playoff games free-to-air, while Sky Sports retains other match rights and weeknight coverage, giving UK viewers more NFL content split between free-to-air platforms and pay-TV.
