UK fans who want to access US coverage of the Super Bowl have been left frustrated after NFL Gamepass problems left many unable to access coverage of the season-ending event.
The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world and the pinnacle of the NFL calendar but UK fans who want to watch US coverage of the event have been left frustrated after NFL Gamepass crashed minutes before the game.
NFL Gamepass is just 99p and allows UK fans to watch the match between last year's beaten finalists Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles and the US coverage also includes Rihanna's hotly anticipated half time show as well as the famous Super Bowl half time commercials. However, fans have reported issues with the NFL's Gamepass website which is showing error messages when people try to sign up to the website via payment portal Paypal.
