The rise in popularity of US Sports has grown exponentially in the UK in recent years. This has been recognised by the American owners and there has been the introduction of regular season NFL (American Football), NBA(Basketball), NHL (Ice Hockey) and MLB (Baseball) games as well as whispers of London based teams to compete.
As a big NFL and NHL fan for over 20 years, it is a great time to be an American sports fan in the UK. Fantastic TV coverage, online subscriptions to dedicated channels, live games and merchandise make the sports more accessible than ever.
