Steelers v Saints on Sunday 25 October, 14:30 CET — the same morning the clocks go back across Europe, so check twice before setting anything.

Times are as scheduled and occasionally move. We flag any change in the newsletter the week before.

The Stade de France in Saint-Denis hosts Steelers v Saints, a fixture with two of the NFL's most travelled fanbases. Expect black and gold in large quantities.

One practical warning: European clocks go back on the morning of 25 October. Kickoff is 14:30 CET / 13:30 UK — after the change. If your phone updates automatically you're fine; if you're working off a printed schedule, read it twice.

The other 18 weeks

Then the NFL goes back to happening at 4am

The European games are the easy part. For the rest of the season the schedule is brutal on this side of the Atlantic: the Sunday late window kicks off at 21:25 UK time, Sunday Night Football at 01:20, and Monday Night Football finishes around breakfast on Tuesday.

That's what this newsletter is for. Every Monday at 07:00 UK time you get the whole weekend — every result with the story behind it, the plays everyone is arguing about, the injuries that matter, and which games are worth losing sleep over next week.
