HOW TO WATCH THE NEW YORK JETS IN THE UK AND IRELAND IN 2026

The long offseason is over; NFL football is back!

The New York Jets take to the field in Nashville on Sunday for the first time since January, looking to get their 2026 campaign off to a fast start.

On the field will be a combination of new faces, old faces and returning faces, with quarterback Geno Smith and linebacker Demario Davis two notable players donning the green and white again after a long hiatus.

Faced with a tough schedule over the first four weeks, head coach Aaron Glenn and his staff will be keen to hit the ground running against Tennessee, with plenty of fascinating storylines surrounding the game – not least that Titans head coach Robert Saleh will come up against his former employer.

The good news for fans in the UK and Ireland is that this year’s schedule is particularly kind for an international viewing audience from a time perspective. The Jets have 14 games scheduled for the 1pm Eastern time slot, including the first 10 weeks of the season, meaning perfect evening viewing hours for fans on this side of the pond. Even the ‘late’ kickoffs in weeks 11 and 15 will be at sleep-schedule friendly times of 9:05pm GMT, meaning plenty of chances to watch the team live.

Fans are also blessed with a number of different ways to tune into Jets action all season, so even without a London game to attend they can remain as close to the team as ever.

The easiest way to see every minute of the action is with a Game Pass International subscription through DAZN. All games that are not subject to blackout restrictions on Sky Sports will be broadcast live on NFL Game Pass, with post-match replays and extended highlights also available on-demand after the game.

New York Jets FC MVP members can access a 15% discount to the full season Game Pass subscription which starts at £179.99 for the year and provides access to every game.

On more traditional broadcast channels, Sky Sports will return as the home of the NFL, showing up to five live games in the 6pm and 9pm windows each Sunday, plus all ‘primetime’ matchups as well as NFL Redzone. With plans for more live broadcasts from US cities and stadiums, their elevated studio coverage will continue to be the go-to option for fans across the UK and Ireland.

On free-to-air television, Channel 5 will be showing two live games each Sunday, one from the 6pm and one from the 9pm window across their main channel and 5Action. Keep an eye on their broadcast listings to see which games get selected for broadcast each week!

Away from television and on to radio, talkSPORT will once again be the home of the NFL on the airwaves, with live coverage of multiple games each Sunday, plus dedicated supplementary content on their social platforms.

And finally, you can find coverage of every game on our social media channels each week, with live updates, highlights and more to help you stay across the action wherever you might be tuning in from!

Sunday’s game against Tennessee will be live on NFL Game Pass, and fans can also join us at the Touchdown Tailgate event in London where we will celebrate the season kickoff in style!
