Watching Cowboys Games In London

[HoustonSucks]

Hi folks,

How is everyone? I watched the first Cowboys game without daddy with my brother and family last night. So got through that... and I just found a meetupgroup/facebook group of Houston Cowboys fans who meet for every game - so I might go watch with them and not be in the house. If anyone else in Houston want's info on that, PM me and I'll send you the link to their website and private facebook page.

But I'm lucky enough to be in London on the 17th of this month and I was wondering if you any of you Cowboys Brits could tell me where to watch the game? It's hard enough getting pre season games in the states so I'm not sure it will even be possible over there. But in case it is, it might be a blast. I know one of you lads is from the UK but I can't remember your username off the top of my head.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Otherwise, I'll just stream it in the hotel bar. lol.

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Preseason games are usually past minight and not carried by sports channels. Streaming is probably your best bet.

I would try to find someone with a slingbox. Good Luck.

If you are willing to pay then NFL.com gamepass is your best option

Thanks guys, I know I can pay and stream or just steal and stream lol but I wanted to watch with people surrounding me.... maybe I'll just skip this one...

There's tons of NFL games on UK TV more then any other European country i have no clue if they show preseason or not though but you might get lucky

I'll just call some sports bars when I get there. I heard a lot about a place called Bodeans .... my bff and her kid will be watching the live production of Les Mis... I'll be at the sports bar. hahahaha

I should point this out again, the game will be on at three in the morning, doubt you will find a sports bar open then.

We don't get pre-season games on the TV in the UK.

Once the regular season starts we do get quite a lot, most on Sky Sports which is a subscription channel. These will often be shown in the sports bars as they are on at 6pm & 9pm on Sunday evenings. (they also show the Thursday night games).

The late Sunday game is usually on Channel 5, which is free but obviously doesn't start usually until 1am (Monday morning here).

Monday Night Football was on the BBC last season, via the interactive service (so you can't record it easily) and again is on early hours of Tuesday morning.


As others have said, gamepass or a dodgy internet stream is your best bet if you want a pre-season game

The game is scheduled for 3:30PM Central time. So that's 9:30PM London time....
