Bills Mafia in Blighty: Your Guide to Catching the Game in London
So you, a loyal Bills Mafia soldier, find yourself stationed across the pond in jolly old London? Fear not, fellow fan! You won't have to down pints of warm lager and pretend to understand cricket to catch your Buffalo boys in action. Here's your ultimate guide to watching the Bills game in London, with enough info to make Josh Allen proud (and maybe a little homesick).
Calling All Night Owls (or Early Birds?): The Time Difference
This is where things get tricky. Since the NFL operates on a gloriously American schedule, kick-off times for Bills games often land in the wee hours of a London morning. Be prepared to set those alarms for an ungodly hour (think 2:30 am for a 1 pm Eastern game). But hey, at least you'll have an excuse to hit the pub after and celebrate (or commiserate) with fellow Bills fans.
Finding Your Fellow Mafia Members: Pubs and Sports Bars
London may not be Orchard Park, but there's a surprisingly strong NFL fanbase in the city. Here's where the real fun begins:
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
- Sports bars: Many pubs around the city cater to American sports fans. Look for places with big screens and a lively atmosphere. Pro tip: Throw on your Bills gear and prepare for high fives and friendly trash talk (especially if you're facing a Patriots fan).
- American-themed bars: Some pubs lean into the whole Americana thing, with burgers, hot dogs, and, of course, NFL games on tap. Think you can handle a full English breakfast after a Bills victory?

Going Solo? Streaming the Game
Maybe you're not feeling the pub scene, or that early alarm just isn't happening. No worries! Here are your streaming options:
- NFL Game Pass: This is your one-stop shop for all things NFL, including live games (with a subscription, of course). It's like having your own personal Sky Box...without the fancy hats.
- Subscription services: Some streaming services like Sling TV or YouTube TV offer NFL Network, which might broadcast the game. Just double-check the schedule beforehand.
Bonus Tip: Brush Up on Your British Lingo
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
A little cultural exchange never hurt anyone! Here are a few key terms to impress your fellow pub-goers:
- "Full English" (breakfast) - Don't expect pancakes and bacon. This is a hearty feast of eggs, sausage, bacon, baked beans, and more.
- "Bangers and Mash" - Sausages and mashed potatoes. Simple but delicious.
- "Cheers!" - A toast, obviously. But you can also use it to say goodbye or thank someone. Just don't overdo it.
