Guests, fantasy pools, streaming gripes, and Hard Knocks talk
British NFL fans, gather round: we’ve got podcast slots to fill, fantasy pools with room to grow, a lot of feelings about DAZN’s billing team, all in our preseason checklist! Here’s what’s going on in the NFL in London world this week — and how to get involved.
Want to Be a Podcast Guest? We’re Recruiting
We’re looking for a weekly guest co-host for the NFL in London Podcast. The brief: know the league beyond your own team, bring genuine comedic timing, and actually turn up week to week — no vanishing after Week 3 like a waiver-wire pickup nobody remembers drafting.
What we’re after:
- Real NFL knowledge — storylines, not just stats
- Comfortable making weekly picks, and taking it on the chin when they’re wrong
- Comedic timing — we take the football seriously, not ourselves
- A webcam and a connection stable enough to survive a full episode
We’re also keen to hear from NFLUK fan group members interested in a rotating weekly slot representing their group. Everything’s recorded remotely on video, so smart on top, whatever you like below the frame.
Fancy it? Get in touch and let’s talk.
Got a Spot in Your Fantasy Pool? We’ve Got Space in Ours
We run two pools and both still have room:
- A weekly pool on Sleepr
- A weekly Pick’em pool on Yahoo
Both are free, both are genuinely competitive, and both come with active chat groups full of NFL fans across the UK — and further afield — who take their fantasy far too seriously. If you’re new to the scene and want people to actually talk football with, this is an easy way in. Message us and we’ll get you added.
How Are You Actually Watching the NFL in the UK?
DAZN, Sky, NOW TV, or a firestick you’d rather not explain? Everyone’s cobbling together a different setup, and DAZN in particular has taken some heat — plenty of fans report being charged after cancelling. If that’s happened to you, check your statements; you’re not the only one.
So: how much is genuinely worth paying for a full season of NFL access in the UK? Tell us what you’re on, what you’re paying, and whether cancelling actually worked.
Hard Knocks Is Back — With the Seahawks
This year’s Hard Knocks lands on the Seattle Seahawks — new coaching energy, unresolved quarterback questions, and a fanbase loud enough to test the sound mix. Watching it? We are, mostly to see how much is real locker-room tension and how much is a producer just off-camera asking for one more take.
AI and Fantasy Football: Help or Cheating?
AI-driven fantasy tools are everywhere this year — lineup optimisers, trade analysers, waiver-wire assistants, all promising an edge without the 2am spreadsheet session. The question is whether that’s smart prep or just outsourcing the fun part.
Where’s the line for you? Using AI to check injury news feels fair game. Letting it set your entire roster is a different conversation. Tell us how you’re using it — or whether you’re avoiding it on principle.
What Happens to Last Place in Your League?
Every league has a punishment for whoever finishes bottom, and it’s usually the best part of the season. A humiliating custom trophy. A public 5k in a rival’s jersey. Drafting next year in a mascot costume. What does your league do to its last-place finisher?
Going to the NFL London Games This Year?
Wembley or Tottenham? Wembley brings the scale and the history; Tottenham’s purpose-built bowl gives you a crowd and atmosphere closer to a stateside game day.
And the real question: how much is too much for a ticket this year? Prices keep climbing, which makes it less of an impulse buy and more of a proper decision. Are you going, and which stadium gets your money?
Get Involved
Whichever side of these debates you’re on — DAZN or firestick, Wembley or Tottenham, AI-assisted or spreadsheet-and-gut — we want to hear it. Join a pool, apply to guest, and keep the UK NFL conversation going.
Make sure you check out our weekly podcast!
