With all the awful games we’ve made them suffer through with the Jaguars, I think our friends across the pond deserve The Big Game. Iron Maiden halftime show? Yes please!

A 9:30 AM Eastern Time kick in the US? Europe would have to really amp up their interest in football for this to ever happen because advertisers wouldn’t shell out like they have before

They kick off that early because they can. It's mid afternoon in England.

No other games that day so they could make it prime time there and lunchtime in the US. They'd need some kind of feature or promotion for afterward to keep viewers watching.

1- When the EPL has their championship here in the states.
2- You're already leading 2025 in lousy sports posts.

I'd be cool with it but they'd need an exception to to have a 9PM kickoff local time imo so that it's not too early here.

They'd also need a proper field turf and not the typical soccer grass that Wembley has. Way too slippery for American football

A Super Bowl not in America? That should be illegal.

They have started Champions League Games after 9pm, if you did that start in London, it is 4pm ET, perfectly doable.
