Two live NFL games will be broadcast on Channel 5 every week during the upcoming football season under a new pact between Paramount UK, the NFL, and CBS Sports.

Channel 5 will broadcast two Sunday evening games, the first at 6 pm on 5 and the second at 9 pm on 5ACTION, which the company said will be branded as 5NFL for game nights. Both will be free-to-air.

Under the deal, the broadcaster will also show the Super Bowl free-to-air in the UK alongside the annual NFL London and Dublin international games, as well as Thanksgiving Day specials and three playoff games.

NFL coverage on 5 will be hosted by Dermot O’Leary with Sam Quek and Osi Umenyiora. Production house Hungry Bear Media will partner with 5 on what the companies have described as a “new play-along entertainment format”
