Neither show had a fixed timeslot, but The NFL Show typically aired either on Saturday evenings or after midnight on BBC One. NFL This Week was a BBC Two show, usually airing late on a Tuesday evening or shortly after midnight.[3][4] The NFL Show was hosted by BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker, who took over from Mark Chapman.
For the 2022 season, the NFL announced that they had reached a partnership with commercial broadcaster ITV for three years. The show would now be hosted by Laura Woods, although analysts Bell and Umenyiora would follow the show across networks. Woods was replaced by Craig Doyle in 2023, following her move to TNT Sports. The deal also continued to include live coverage of two London international games and the Super Bowl as the BBC did. The show also aired on the Scottish affiliate of the ITV network STV and Virgin Media Four in Ireland, which has a content sharing agreement with ITV.[5] ITV axed the show ahead of the 2024 season although the London international games and Super Bowl would still be broadcast.
