NFL Sundays Are Back!

What an epic summer of weather & football we've had (Soccer in the states) but there’s a familiar feeling in the air… the weathers on the turn, summer will soon be over & it's officially the greatest time of year.... NFL season!

The 2026/27 NFL American Football season kicked off on Wednesday 9th September, and we’ve had the best time celebrating the return of NFL Sundays.

And this season, we’re going all in!

Every Sunday from 6pm, we’re bringin' you the best of the NFL, Hickory’s style. Every game, every screen, every big play... so you won’t miss a single touchdown, sack or game-winning Hail Mary.

And if you want ALL the action? We’ve got NFL RedZone on the big screens, bringin' you every touchdown, big play and game-changing moment from across the league... all the action, all in one place.

So, when it comes to NFL Sundays, there’s no better seat in the house than at Hickory’s.

What is RedZone?

RedZone is the ultimate way to keep up with all the action across the NFL.

Rather than watching just one game, RedZone jumps between every game taking place, bringing you the biggest moments as they happen. When a team gets inside their opponent’s 20-yard line - the red zone - the action switches to that game so you don’t miss the chance of a touchdown.

That means you’ll see every touchdown, field goal attempt, extra point and all the biggest plays from across the league, with multiple games appearing on screen when the action is happening at the same time.

And the best part? No adverts. Just wall-to-wall NFL action.

So, whether you're following one team or want to know what's happening across the whole league, RedZone makes sure you never miss a moment.

More wings. More beer. More football.

And, of course, it’s not just about what’s happening on the screens.

This season, expect more wings, more beers, as we bring even more of the American football experience to your Sunday every single week.

We’ve got a few plays up our sleeve, so watch this space… one thing’s for sure: you won’t want to sit this season out.

Think big flavours, ice-cold drinks & plenty of reasons to stay in the game from kick-off to the final whistle.

Ultimately, one thing’s for sure - this season is going to be a touchdown.
