American football on the BBC

This season, BBC Sport will bring NFL fans more coverage than ever before.

As the halfway point in the NFL season approaches, the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts remain the only unbeaten teams in the league. Both sides look like major contenders to make the Super Bowl on 7 February 2010 in Miami.

The New England Patriots and their quarterback Tom Brady also appear to be hitting form after their victory over Tampa Bay in London, and NFL legend Brett Favre has led the Minnesota Vikings to the second best record in the NFC.

As ever, the unpredictability of the NFL is sure to keep fans entertained through to the end of the season.

A new Sunday night show on BBC 5 live sports extra will bring live NFL commentary on a weekly basis to UK gridiron fans.

BBC TV will show the Super Bowl live early next year.

The BBC Sport website will carry a twice-weekly blog by NFL expert Neil Reynolds as well as video highlights (UK users only).

BBC 5 live sports extra schedule (also on the BBC Sport website for UK users only):

20 December: Cincinnati Bengals at San Diego Chargers, 2105 GMT

BBC TV schedule:

7 February: Super Bowl XLIV from Miami, Florida
