There are two reasons why it’s not always easy to find live NFL on TV in the UK, or any other US sport for that matter. Firstly, we don’t have a big sports bar culture in which any man can waltz in, order a stack of ribs and a couple of Bud lights before bedding in for a sporting afternoon. In US bars, he can watch whatever sport he wants on one of a gazillion screens showing all kinds of ball-related activities. This side of the Atlantic, we don’t do booths, we do chesterfield sofas and smoking areas.
Second, most of the Basketball, Baseball and all other ball/puk based sports that only Americans play, are shown in the middle of the night UK time, so you're often lucky if you find somewhere open long enough to see you into the 6th hour of the Super Bowl live on TV (I suppose we invented a game that takes 5 days so…). Nevertheless, hopefully we can help you find US sports bars in London and across the UK.
So, if you want to watch the Super Bowl or the NFL playoffs in pubs and bars, have a look. You can also try and find places showing live Basketball on TV or even College Basketball. For those of a chilly disposition, check out which pubs and bars are screening the Ice Hockey and if you don’t like cricket (we love it), then there’s always Baseball.
