next February. Below we have all the info on how to watch NFL football from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

Having upset the Kansas City Chiefs' chance of a historic threepeat, the Philadelphia Eagles and Jalen Hurts head into the 2025/26 season as kings of the NFL.

He'll just have to hope that teammate Travis Kelce's head
is in the game and not thinking too much about wedding plans!

The Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are all expected by the pundits to be in the mix when we reach the playoffs in January, while 2024's worst team Tennessee Titans will hope and pray that no. 1 draft pick Cam Ward will change their fortunes.
