Sky Sports NFL channel
The NFL season starts this week, but the Sky Sports NFL channel has disappeared from the Sky Sports package. When will it return? Or am I now paying for a package that doesn't include it?

Thanks for reaching out to us trevorwood, and welcome back to our Community Forums!
Sorry to see that Sky Sports Action is yet to switch over to the dedicated NFL channel in terms of name.
It does however appear that this channel is currently broadcasting non-stop NFL content currently.
We will work to find out when Sky Sports Action is due to switch to Sky Sports NFL and report back to you.
Thanks,

Sky Sports NFL replaced Action today. Even if the name on the guide still says Action it will be showing NFL. Virgin don't always keep up with Sky's frequent renaming of Sports/Movie channels.
Sky Sports NFL replaces Sky Sports Action. (This will be on channel 507 on VM.)
As a result of the increase in NFL live games shown this season, some coverage will spill over to Sky Sports+ and Sky Sports Mix.
The new season starts on Thursday 4 September. It ends on the night of Sunday 8 to Monday 9 February (UK time) with non-exclusive live coverage of the Super Bowl from California.
