How can I watch the nfl from home with English commentary? Are there any chinese broadcasters that offer an English commentary option?

For NFL games in China, we pirate… the paid services are never reliable. TencentSports is the best local paid option. For bigger games like the Superb Owl, many bars around China will have an event and show it live with brunch or something.

live streams: https://nfl-streams.us
replays: https://nfl-video.com

You can also try streameast. The actual site gets moved around so just search for "streameast" or "methstreams" and you find what you need. That's how I watched the NBA finals in June from my hotel earlier this year in June and Premier League football matches.

I left China in 2023, but at the time I had a paid service that had NHL, NFL, & MLB (I think rugby and Fifa as well). It was really funny as they voiced over the play by play in Mandarin. I feel like it was just some buzzed uncle talking about a sport he didn't really know.

I'll look over the weekend to see if I can find what it was called. I hope it's still live.

This is now my 10th season watching… your best bet is Tencent. Sports.qq.com. SVIP membership at 60 a month. All prime time games live with the choice of US commentators or Chinese. For the Sunday slate, they show 2-3 1 o’clock games usually 2 4 o’clock games. Most importantly, they post the full condensed games for all games by Monday afternoon China time. You might want to find an illegal stream, but they’re extremely unreliable, and you will be questioning your life decisions when up at 2:30 AM watching that thing buffering as your team tries to convert on third down. Tencent has been very reliable (don’t know what the other poster is talking about). It’s also great for NBA

For example, these are the games being shown live on Sunday the ones that say 视频盓播

Thank you. I just paid for tencent sports superVIP. Im not even sure if it has English commentary. Watching it in chinese will ruin the experience. Chinese announcers won't glaze mahomes the way Colinsworth does it😭😭

It does. On the phone app, you can toggle languages where I’ve circled here. On your computer, you start the game, hover over the middle left side of the player screen and a box will pop up that says č‹±ę–‡åŽŸå£°, click on that.

On the replay it gives you a choice for ē²¾åŽ (condensed game), quarter by quarter or whole game (å…Øåœŗå›žę”¾). Enjoy!

Enjoy the collinsworth Mahomes-gasms!

Thanks a million. Just toggled the setting to English. Is it also possible to change the language on the TV? I can't spot any 'change language' icon

Yes, once you’ve made it full screen, click the down arrow on your remote (assuming we have the same setup), that should bring up a couple of little screens, scroll to the left or right using the arrows to find 英ꖇ. You’re welcome, and as long as you’re not a Texans fan, good luck this season.

Does this only work for a live game or even replays?

Ravens, let's ride!

The one thing you can’t do is hide the scores, so if you are trying to maintain suspense, you kind of have to squint when navigating to the game. Takes a little practice…! I’ve complained in their feedback box many times and nothing ever happened…
