How to Watch a NFL Game in London

The NFL has a special treat for fans this Sunday, as the Denver Broncos travel across the pond to face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at historic Wembley Stadium.

It's a game that will air on ESPN+, making this the first-ever international NFL game to be exclusively streamed by the streaming service. The match will be live streamed at 9:30 am ET on Sunday morning.

How to get to Wembley Stadium

The NFL is headed back to London this weekend when the Denver Broncos take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. With the Jaguars on a four-game losing streak and the Broncos on a 2-5 record, this game could be the last chance for either team to turn their season around.

If you’re planning on watching the game at Wembley Stadium, it’s essential to get there as early as possible. This way you can see all the action on the pitch and soak up the atmosphere in the surrounding areas.

Getting to Wembley Stadium is easy by public transport. There are three train stations close to the stadium, and all of them are within walking distance.

Wembley Park Station is on the London Underground Metropolitan line and is also served by the Jubilee line. The other two stations, Wembley Central and Wembley Stadium are on the London Overground and National Rail lines respectively.

Once you’ve arrived at Wembley Park, it’s an easy 1.2 mile (2.6km) walk to the stadium. The pedestrian route is signposted on event days, and you’ll need to allow 15 minutes to reach the entrance to the stadium.

There are a few restaurants nearby, and some pubs, but these tend to get very crowded on matchdays. Therefore it may be a better idea to eat out in central London.

You can buy tickets for events at Wembley Stadium online and in-store. However, you should be aware that some tickets can only be bought from the clubs involved.

The stadium is also open to the public for free on selected occasions and has guided tours, which include the changing rooms, press room, players’ tunnel and royal box. The tours are usually about 75 minutes long, and run every day except on days of major events or public holidays.

If you’re going to the Wembley Stadium on a gameday, it’s important to make sure you have all your ID and money ready. There will be enhanced security checks in place, and you should always keep your bags clear of liquids and sharp objects.

What to expect

One of the best things about watching an NFL game in London is that it's usually played in a historic venue such as Wembley Stadium, which was built specifically for the purpose. It's also a great opportunity to experience the culture of American football and enjoy the food, drink and camaraderie that comes with a game in England.

The NFL has been hosting games in London since 2007, and this year, there are three matches in the calendar, two of which take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The other, which will be held at Wembley Stadium, is the Week 8 matchup between the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars.

It's an exciting time to watch the NFL in England, and the league is definitely growing on this side of the pond. That's in part thanks to the league's decision to host the first ever game here in 2007 -- it was a huge moment for the sport on this side of the Atlantic.

And, despite the fact that the English Premier League is still king in these parts, the NFL has started to attract a new generation of fans. One such fan is Richard Holl, a native of Pittsburgh and New York City who has lived in London for 19 years. He's never missed a game in his life, and he'll be at this Sunday's Jets-Falcons clash in Tottenham Stadium.

This will be his third trip to London, and he's hoping the team can turn its season around after a 2-5 record and four-game losing streak. The Denver Broncos are ranked fifth in the NFL in defense, but they've stumbled at the end of each of their past seven games, giving up 16.4 points per game.

But it's still too early to count this team out yet, as they have a solid offensive line and some young players who could prove key down the stretch. They're also a solid group of veteran players, including quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Trevor Lawrence, who have each won an NFL game in London.

If you're traveling abroad and want to watch this match, it's best to use a VPN that unblocks BBC iPlayer. You'll need to sign up with a service that offers apps for desktop and mobile, as well as browser extensions. Once you've signed up, simply connect to a UK server. This will give you a UK IP address and allow you to watch the game live. You'll also be able to avoid streaming sites that offer shady streams with poor resolution, high lag and frequent buffering.

Food & Drink

Food and drink are an important part of any event, but especially when you are watching a football game. London is home to some of the best restaurants and bars in the country, so you can find a range of tasty foods that will keep your appetite satisfied while you watch the game.

For example, you can get a big bowl of wings at one of the best places to watch NFL games in London, or grab some classic American burgers and fries from Shake Shack after the game. There are also some fantastic restaurants that are open during the game that offer special menus to celebrate the occasion.

Another place to check out is the Vinegar Yard beer garden in London Bridge, which is showing every match and seating hundreds of fans around a central garden screen. They have a special game food and drink package on offer as well, so you can feast while you cheer for your team.

If you want to watch the game from a more intimate setting, you can also book a private sports hut in the pub’s garden. This will be more of a private space where you can sit down and enjoy the game, but it won’t be as loud as the main area.

You can even book a special game day platter to go with your drinks, such as a BBQ butter chicken wings and Afghani lamb kebab skewers, or even a 90-inch pizza platter. There are a wide range of cocktails on offer, too, so you can be sure to find something that fits your tastes and moods.

There are also some great bars and pubs in London that will be open during the game to help you celebrate. From classic British pubs to more American-style bars, there are a range of options that you can choose from.

Some of the best places to watch the game will be located near Wembley Stadium or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. These locations are regarded as the most popular sports venues in the world, so you can expect a huge crowd and an exciting game.

After the Game

Regardless of which team you support, you will be able to enjoy a variety of different activities after the game. You can either head to a sports pub to watch the game and catch up with other fans or you can go out into London itself and explore some of the city's diverse culture. There are lots of different bars and restaurants in London to choose from, so it's a good idea to try some new cuisines and find some classic American dishes while you're there.

Before the game, you'll want to check out the stadium's website for more information about what time the game starts and how to get in. You can also download the game's app to keep track of the score and other updates from the stadium.

Once the game is over, you can go out into the streets to soak up some of the atmosphere and celebrate the victory. You can also go for a drink at one of the many bars in the city and party until it's time to head home.

If you're staying at a hotel, it's worth checking out what their sports bar has to offer and see if there's any special deals available for football fans. They usually have big screens and a decent selection of drinks on offer.

You can also watch the game online if you're not in the UK. Some cable providers like fuboTV, Sling TV (Blue), Hulu + Live TV, and YouTube TV offer NFL Network.

Some of these services even offer free trials to eligible subscribers. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to watch the game, these are some of the best options.

For those who aren't interested in going out into the city after the game, you can watch it on your laptop or phone if you're at home. There are also several TV stations that broadcast the games live in the UK.

The NFL has played 31 games in London since 2007, but only four of those contests featured two teams that finished with winning records. You'd expect at least 25 percent of those games to feature two teams with a winning record, so that's kind of mind-boggling to me.
