NFL in London

National Football League in London

Broncos Jags London

It’s time for the final London game of the season, as the Denver Broncos visit the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in England.
Who wins the big game? Will Russell play? What to do in the city?

We can answer that in our Broncos Jags London edition!

Wembley Stadium

Visitors take note, this game is at a different stadium!
While the first two games were hosted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in northeast London, this game will be held at Wembley Stadium in northwest London.
If you go to the wrong stadium, it’s going to take you a wee bit to switch back.

Built in 2007, Wembley is the unofficial home of England’s football, and has hosted numerous NFL games before.

Anyone who visited Wembley for NFL games from 2007-2011 were possibly horrified at how nothing to do there was around the area.
Once the game was over, you got the heck out, and never partied prior to the game.

Boy has that changed! Around the stadium is now a Chi-Pah-Town of possibility, with numerous chains and pubs to entertain you and keep you safe before the game.
There are now lots of safe hotels around as well, which means you aren’t staying in a bedsit with some people who don’t speak the language.

Unlike Tottenham stadium, there is plenty to do around Wembley, and you will have options to look at after the game.
Do remember, London shuts early, so many of these pubs will close by 11.

Stadium Sports Bar near Wembley is very close and advertises that its open late. You will have to ask if they have Redzone, but if they show Skysports, they will have it.
You can find them here.

Mirage Sports Bar is also local and seems basic enough to be a place to occupy sporting bodies, and has reasonable drinks deals. You can find them here.

The Game

London games usually bring two things.
One the scores are generally low as teams adjust to a new pitch, country, and fans of assorted jerseys, affiliations and newness.
Two, someone will get fired after this game. (probably Hackett)

Jacksonville are three point faves in this one, boasting a better offence than the Broncos.
Denver has a solid D that will give the Jags some frustrations, but look to Etienne Jr to have a booming day running the ball.

We think that the Jags will win by a bit to cover the spread in a low scoring affair.

After the Game

London has a lot to offer, unfortunately not late at night, and especially on a Sunday.

That being said there are a few cool areas you might want to check out.

Shoreditch

One of the few ares that will be open til the wee hours, there are a scant few places that might even put on NFL games if you ask nicely. (note they will need to have a Sky Sports sticker in their window to show Redzone).

Roadtrip near Old Street is a good old fashioned rock n roll bar that is not only open late on a Sunday, but they show LOTS of NFL. They have TVs indoor and out.
Food is a bit iffy, but loads of nibbles street side if you want to pop out.
Find them here.

Brewdog Shoreditch will definitely NOT show any NFL as they have no TVs. They do however have a great selection of beers, plenty of space, and are open til midnight.
Great place to meet up after the game to get the gang together.

The Owl and the Pussycat is a fun pub in the hood to snag some beers and hit the garden. It’s open til 11pm on Sundays.

Other London

The Sports Bar & Grill was our original location for NFL after party fun. It’s located right in the train station, so it’s a quick blast back from the stadium into the city.
It gets very packed, so you will want to reserve a table. They will have the Sky NFL games plus Redzone.
The food is both lack and luster, so keep that in mind before ordering huge.

The King Sports Bar inside the Empire Casino is right in the filth of Leicester Square.
Americans expecting a Vegas size casino will want to tamper their expectations, as both it and the sports bar are quite modest in size.
That being said, this bustling area of London will most certainly be packed even before you decide to head there.
Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus have become less safe in recent years, so please be wary, travel in groups and avoid the side streets.

Week 6 Preview

by

Another awesome NFL game is headed to London, as the Dolphins and Jaguars do battle at Tottenham Stadium this Sunday.

The battle of Florida awaits, as does over 60,000 excited fans, as we break it all down in our Week 6 Preview podcast.

Wade and Ryan look at the upcoming match between Miami and Jacksonville in north London, as well as breaking down each week 6 game to make their score predictions for all the games.

Make sure you have a listen, a laugh and a cuddle for this one, as it has all the feels that you’re looking for.

Among some of the other things discussed in this episode includes:

London Games

It was a crazy week of NFL in London last week, and judging by what we’ve heard, you guys had fun, as well as some issues.

It’s London, and the NFL, so be prepared to be shocked by prices, forced into queues, and be subjected to a strict bag policy.
Let’s not forget that only a year ago we were dreaming of live events, so please plan ahead when you’re coming to the games.

Beer might be £1.99 up north, but you’re in London now baby. Get that £8 note ready.

London Travel

If you’re looking to join us at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street after the game, the easiest way is via Liverpool Street Overground or trains.
It’s 40 minutes direct, and only a 10 minute walk from Liverpool Street to Old Street to get to the pub.

As per the NFLUK and the TFL

The Victoria line will be very busy before and after the Game and fans are advised to travel from Liverpool Street station, if possible, with services to and from Northumberland Park station offering twice the capacity of services to and from White Hart Lane station.

An additional 80 stopping services will call at Northumberland Park, starting at 11.30am and finishing at 8.40pm, ensuring that even in the event of overtime, there is adequate capacity to return fans to Liverpool Street.

After Parties

Looking to party after the game NFL style?
We got you covered!

The Sports Bar and Grill Clapham will be open before, after and during the games for all your NFL fun.
Located just on the high street, this lovely sports bar has cold beer, hot wings, and cool customers.
The pub is open until 11pm on Sunday.

Late night hawks will want to pop over to the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, which not only boasts over 50 TVs showing the NFL, but it’s also open until 4am!
Plenty of time to get stuck in for some football shenanigans all night long!

Folks are booking their tables quickly, so get yours to avoid disappointment!

Fans looking for a way to avoid the crush of traffic to the game should consider the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
This traditional pub is not only open til 12:30am Monday mornings, but it’s a quick ride to both the stadium and central London.

Hit the Alex before the game, then grab the W3 bus directly to the stadium.
Just repeat and rinse on the way back, and you’ll be in the pub with a pint in your hand quicker than you can strip a hot wing of its meat.

London Game

Florida man fights Florida man in front of British people, could be the headline in this affair, as Tua returns to battle Trevor Lawrence.

Hardened NFL fans might point out that the two teams only have 1 win between them after 10 games, but casual fans are just happy to have the NFL back!

Ryan likes the Jags to get the W here, with Trevor Lawrence pulling out all the stops to get the home victory.

Wade thinks that the return of Tua plus the cloud over Urban’s head will be too much. Mike Gesicki will steal the show, as the Dolphins move on to claim their second win of the season.

Ryan-Jags 30 Dolphins 24
Wade-Dolphins 21 Jags 18

If you are going to the game, make sure that you join us after at one of the many parties we have going on.

It’s going to be a Sunday Funday!
