    I'm pretty sure during The Great Gamepass Free For All of 2013 that Hard Knocks was up on it. Maybe it wasn't broadcast live or anything but past episodes and seasons were definitely on it.

    Well lads. Does anyone know if the black out post season games show on red zone on gamepass? Is it just that you can't watch a black out game continuously live? Wouldn't be too bad if the main plays for black out games were shown on red zone.

    Red zone isn't on during the playoffs so the answer would be no.

    SERIOUS!?

    Talk about a backwards step. Although no ads, no revenue etc.

    Imagine they blacked out Redzone!

    You'd imagine the subs would make up for loss if ads etc. to the NFL anyway. But it was only something I saw in passing at start of summer. Don't know how strong the talk was

    While I like RedZone, it's only something I watch occasionally. I much prefer to see a complete game and it's only if there aren't any good match ups on or a game's a blowout that I switch to it.

    Having said that, I would be annoyed if it was taken away.

    Where did you hear about this, gufc? I thought other US sports (NBA, NHL, etc) were considering similar programming for their channels, so I figured it was something of a success. Honestly, I probably wouldn't sign up for GamePass if they stop doing RedZone - it's my Sunday evening must-watch. I'll then usually follow up during the week with compressed games of the matchups I want to see again.

    I don't see how it would work with NBA or NHL. They're end to end sports with possession and attacks changing every few seconds so it would be hard to follow the RedZone idea.

    Also NHL/NBA games are on every night with local time zones dictating the start times as opposed to the set times and days the NFL uses.

    You can get Gamepass for €95 if you use a Portuguese proxy/vpn to sign up. It might work with an Irish billing address, might not. You'll have to check that yourself.

    Not free in the Netherlands/Argentina/New Zealand anymore. Oh well :(

    Ah feck. Didn't look here this morning. Bought it with a ten percent off code earlier. :o

    Also there is cashback from topcashback.com. Just saw it on the NFL UK gamepass site.

    Yeah Argentina seemed to be the last of them, they seemed to have pulled the plug on this altogether.

    Is this Portugal price thing a nod and a wink thing or waht? i dont wanna sign up and them pull my account?

    Or do i have to use a Portugal IP everytime i connect?

    Anyone know where the free countries were listed officially on the site before?

    Not holding much hope of it occurring this year again anyway but still wouldn't mind knowing, because despite how great of a service it is, even with the blackouts, I don't think I'll be getting it this year.

    Do people reckon that if you were to successfully purchase it, that you'd have to use a Portuguese proxy to then use and watch it also?

    I asked my friend in the UK to give me the login to his account (bought in the UK with a UK IP) and it works fine with my Irish IP. I don't see it being any different if you buy with the Portuguese price to be honest. It is easy enough to get a refund anyways if you request one before the games start.

    Should work out at about 80 euro for the season pass if you use the discount code posted by wawaman.
