With the 2008 NFL Season only months away, information on the UK coverage has started to appear.
Of particular interest to those without access to Sky Television will be the news from The Associated Press that the October Regular Season game from Wembley will be aired, live, on the BBC. According to the report, coverage will start on BBC2 and after two hours switch to BBC3.
The BBC also have the rights to air Super Bowl XLIII live from Tampa, Florida and recently announced a permanent interactive sports service on digital TVs (believed to be part of "MySportNow" which, according to a speech back in November by the BBC's Director of Sport, Roger Mosey, will be "one of the BBC's biggest investments in the next five or six years"), a service which could, foreseeably, be used to cover NFL News.
Away from the BBC, this little snippet from OFCOM, updated on the 17th June, seems to indicate the NFL Network already have a license for a "cable and satellite channel". NFL Network coming soon to the UK?
Channel Five seem to still have live Sunday and Monday night football (as they did for the 2007 season), and Sky will presumably still show all the games it can via Red Buttons everywhere.

Reggie Bush speaks on BBC Radio 1
Reggie Bush has been 'doing the rounds' in London this week - alongside LaDainian Tomlinson - to promote the NFL's International Series game at Wembley, which takes place on October the 26th.
Here's a link to an interview on BBC Radio One.
We'd advise fast forwarding about an hour into the show, unless you particularly enjoy inane banter. Some interesting quotes from Reggie there, not least his description of the Draft as 'not good for the athlete'. Wide Right would suggest that the former number two overall pick has precisely 26.3m guaranteed reasons to be fully behind the current draft process.
Much of the interview focuses on Bush's relationship with Kim Kardashian, including at least one quote which we think might come back to haunt Reggie: 'I've never said this about any other girl before, but I can definately see myself getting married to her'. Kim's Father is Robert Kardashian, possibly best known as part of O.J Simpson's defence team. That fact is completely unrelated to Bush's massive personal income.
