British Eurosport to broadcast Monday NFL games

NFL UK has announced that British Eurosport will be broadcasting Monday Night Football for the next two seasons.

The channel has agreed a two-year deal with the league to show the program, which is produced by ESPN in the States.

Managing director of British Eurosport, David Kerr, said in a statement: "NFL Monday Night Football is iconic sport television and represents an exciting new addition to our channel lineup.

"We now cannot wait to start our live broadcasts in just a few days' time with the Philadelphia Eagles at the Washington Redskins and the Houston Texans at the San Diego Chargers."

Managing director of NFL UK Alistair Kirkwood added: "The NFL has never been more popular in the UK and the breadth of our broadcast partnerships is a testament to the excitement of our sport. British Eurosport will help us to give our fans even more NFL football and will enable us to reach out to new fans."

The UK will host two NFL games at Wembley Stadium for the first time this season.
