Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs kicks off at 1.15am BST on Tuesday 15 September for UK viewers. Although billed as Monday Night Football in the United States, the game takes place after midnight on the UK calendar.
Sky lists live coverage on Sky Sports NFL and Sky Sports Main Event. The Chiefs’ UK and Ireland guide also confirms NFL Game Pass through DAZN as a live-streaming option.
Which date belongs in your calendar?
Use Tuesday 15 September, 01:15, with the time zone set to Europe/London. If you are staying up on Monday evening, the game starts later that night, after the date changes.
The kickoff time is not necessarily the start of pre-game coverage. Check your provider’s programme listing if you want the build-up too.
Where can UK viewers watch?
The confirmed television channels are Sky Sports NFL and Sky Sports Main Event. For streaming, the Chiefs identify NFL Game Pass via DAZN. Check that your subscription includes the game before kickoff; this guide does not advertise a free broadcast.
What about the rest of Week 1?
This guide focuses on the remaining Monday night fixture as of 14 September. The earlier Week 1 games should not be mistaken for upcoming live events simply because they appear in a weekly schedule.
Sky’s published Week 2 listing next has Detroit Lions at Buffalo Bills at 1.15am UK time on Friday 18 September.
