For the 2022 season, the NFL announced that they had reached a partnership with commercial broadcaster ITV for three years. The show was hosted by Laura Woods, although analysts Bell and Umenyiora followed 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 aired on Scottish affiliate network STV and Virgin Media Four in Ireland, which has a content sharing agreement with ITV.
