Unsurprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs, who reigned supreme during the previous two Super Bowls, are favourites to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft this season. Andy Reid's champs will make NFL history if they go all the way again, as no team has ever three-peated.
The Chiefs are one of only five sides that have remained unbeaten so far during this current NFL season, with the four others being the Buffalo Bills, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Minnesota Vikings. However, Kansas City hasn’t had matters its way this term, with all three of its successes so far coming by 7 points or less.

The Buffalo Bills are flying highest of the unbeaten five, having racked up 112 points in their first three games. The Bills, who have reached at least the Divisional Playoffs stage of the postseason in the last four seasons, thrashed the Jacksonville Jaguars 47-10 during the week 3 round of games.

The surprise packages of the NFL season to date are the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikes, who suffered their most regular-season defeats for ten years last season, are currently in rampaging form. They backed up an impressive win over last year’s Super Bowl runners-up, the San Francisco 49ers, by smashing the Houston Texans in week 3 to maintain their winning streak.

So, with all that action to keep up with this season, let GOAL help guide you on where and how you can watch this season’s thrilling NFL action live in the UK.

What is the NFL 2024 schedule?

Getty Images Sport

32 NFL teams kick off the regular season each year, dreaming of lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy aloft at the Super Bowl. Those 32 sides are split into two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The 16 teams in each conference are further divided into 4-team divisions.
As is the norm in the NFL, the regular season gets underway in early September each year and continues through December. Each of the 32 teams plays 17 regular season games during that period. At the end of the regular season, the top-7 sides from each conference (the four division winners and the top three non-division winners with the best overall regular season records) will advance to the postseason or Playoffs.
All bar the top-seeded conference sides from the AFC and the NFC compete in the first round of the Playoffs, known as the Wild Card round, which gets underway in January. The winners of those games progress to the Divisional Playoffs, the last-8 stage, where the top seeds re-enter the fray. Following that, it’s the Conference Championships or semi-finals, with the winners of those heading to the Super Bowl, which this season is being staged at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
