    No, had gamepass before but not buying it with blackouts, wil use sky
    Just got an email saying free access has been extended until 8 September and that Hard Knocks will be available tomorrow. So no need to subscribe if you want to see HK and don't have Sky.

    Saw that earlier, looks like they will be showing a lot of the NFL Network stuff and documentaries as well as the live games.

    I wonder is Redzone gone from Sky Sports Mix free channel in that case. That was handy at times

    Will that mean more live games on Sky and thus less games available on GamePass due to region block?

    Didn’t get an email either as a pro subscriber. I am going to wait and see closer to kick off about renewing.

    No interest in going back to SKY either

    Not sure what you did but I don't think the option to turn off the auto renew was even there 2 months ago. They sent an e-mail out and gave a date at the end of July that you would be able to cancel your auto renewal.

    This is from the e-mail I received on the 1st of July.
    What do you need to do?

    All we ask is that you keep enjoying NFL Game Pass throughout the offseason. Should you prefer not to return for the 2020 NFL season, you will be able to do so. We will be sending further information detailing the steps to amend or cancel your auto-renewal preferences by email on July 9, 2020. Changes can be made upto and including August 9, 2020.

    I haven't got that email either, as a Pro subscriber. Just went into my account there...the account is there, but there is no subscription so can't watch. Unless you register for the free account, then it works, which will do until Season kicks off anyway. Just click the Register for free account, no need to sign up, takes all your details as you're signed in anyway. Option to upgrade then.

    Try Brazil. That always seems to be a good spot for a bargain

    Yeah tried there same price too seems to be that price across the board, can you pay in installments and cancel after the superbowl without paying the full whack?

    Maybe this has been discussed already on this thread, but it's a long thread.....

    I got the following email on July 9th....

    "We wanted to let you know that your NFL Game Pass subscription is set to auto-renew in 31 days. Your subscription fee will be billed on or around August 10, 2020 at the unchanged 2019 full season price in your market, 49,99 EUR."

    I was happy with that, and then saw that they took €164 from me in August. I complained and they refunded me the money, though did not explain what the 49.99 price was.

    I had a subscription last year that allowed only access to RedZone, which was enough for me - I assume that is gone now?

    I just bought a 2020 Samsung model TV which NFL state the Game Pass app is available on.

    So I've booted up thr TV and the app isn't on its app store. Very disappointed.

    I find I have issues with all their apps bar the one on my phone and tablet. Have it on Xbox One, Firestick and LG TV. Half the time they don't work at all. Thought it was maybe my crap internet but it works fine through my phone, tablet and also a browser.

    My Xbox One was fine, lots seem to complain about the TV apps though.
