BBC

Free to air: Presenter Mark Chapman, NFL star Jason Bell and two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora return for the new season with two shows a week and Super Bowl LV to be shown live from the Buc's stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Saturday program, The NFL Show, has a new extended slot and kicks off on September 13. Umenyiora said: “We are back and bigger than ever before, with one of the most fascinating seasons ever to sink our teeth into. I'm excited to rejoin Chappers and J-Bell as we take viewers through every twist and turn of a brand-new NFL year on the BBC. Fasten your seatbelts because this season is going to be wild." The 2020-21 season is the first of a two year extension of the BBC's coverage. For further details go to www.bbc.co.uk

Channel 5

Free to air: Channel 5 begs a three-year partnership with the NFL and CBS. It will show every Monday Night Football game – an important ritual for many Americans, one which many Brits don't ‘get'. It will be shot at C5's studio in Los Angeles, with Kirsten Watson presenting. Channel 5 will also have a brand new Sunday morning magazine show called NFL End Zone. The move is a return of the NFL to Channel 5, which showed pro football between 1998 and 2009. The first magazine show airs September 13, and the first live game - Pittsburgh Steelers at New York Giants – is on September 14.
