The NFL returns with 17 weeks of glorious regular season action before the blockbuster play-offs culminate in Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.

Reigning Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams are among the hot contenders to defend their crown, while defeated finalists Cincinnati Bengals will do well to better their miraculous achievement from last year.

Kansas City Chiefs are expected to go far under the stewardship of QB Patrick Mahomes, while the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers are also being tipped for glory this time around.

British NFL fans are among the strongest die-hards in sport, battling late nights and horrific Monday mornings to support their team and soak up the great game itself.

Fans will need to adjust to a reshuffle in 2022 after BBC lost the rights to show NFL coverage throughout the year, but fear not, there's plenty of ways to tune in, including a brand new free-to-air weekly show.
