TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- SiriusXM Canada today announced its extensive coverage plans for the 2026 NFL season, which will feature live broadcasts of every game, and the addition of multiple new voices on the SiriusXM NFL Radio channel.

Every NFL game airs live on SiriusXM

The 2026 NFL Kickoff Presented by YouTube TV takes place September 9 (8:20 pm ET), when the defending champion Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots in a rematch of last February's Super Bowl. The following day, September 10 (8:35 pm ET), features the league's first international game of the season, as 2025 NFL MVP Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams play the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia.

Every NFL game, from the regular season through the Super Bowl, is available to SiriusXM Canada listeners both in their vehicles and via the SiriusXM app. Through the SiriusXM app, subscribers can tune in to both home and visiting team broadcasts for every matchup. Additionally, subscribers with sports play-by-play can access both home and road team broadcasts directly on their in-vehicle radios. The schedule of games airing on SiriusXM for Week 1 is available here: siriusxm.ca/sports

Listeners can access NFL game broadcasts and the SiriusXM NFL Radio channel with SiriusXM's most popular subscription plans, including Platinum, All Access and Music & Entertainment.

New voices join SiriusXM's NFL programming

In addition to the live game broadcasts, fans get in-depth NFL talk 365 days a year on SiriusXM NFL Radio (channel 88), the only 24/7 radio channel dedicated to the NFL. Multiple current and former NFL players are joining the roster and will be featured hosts on the channel this season.

Super Bowl XLIV MVP and 13-time Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, is joining the cast of "Let's Go!" – the weekly show hosted by L.A. Rams quarterback and 2025 NFL MVP Matthew Stafford, three-time National Sportswriter of the Year Peter King, and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Jim Gray. The new season of "Let's Go!" debuts on Monday, September 7 (6 pm ET), and will feature Stafford previewing the Rams matchup against the 49ers three days later at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground in the first ever NFL game played in Australia.

New episodes of "Let's Go" will debut every Monday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. After airing on SiriusXM, the show is available on all major podcast platforms, with additional bonus content available only on the SiriusXM app. "Let's Go!" is produced by Scratchy Productions and SiriusXM.

"I'm excited to join Jim Gray and our great list of guests on 'Let's Go' as we break down the biggest moments in the NFL every week, giving fans tons of insight and entertainment," said Brees.

Also joining SiriusXM this season are multiple active or free agent NFL players. New York Giants defensive tackle Shelby Harris, New York Jets linebacker Demario Davis, and free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks will serve as rotating hosts alongside Carolina Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen on the weekly show, "The Players' Point," the only radio show hosted entirely by active NFL players. Los Angeles Chargers fullback Alec Ingold also returns as a co-host. "The Players' Point" airs Tuesdays at 6 pm ET on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Adam Thielen, who retired earlier this year after a 13-year NFL career, has signed on as a SiriusXM host and will be heard Tuesdays from 10am-noon ET on "Airing It Out" on SiriusXM NFL Radio alongside Bob Papa. Thielen entered the league in 2014 as an undrafted free agent and spent 10 seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, where he emerged as a star, was voted to two Pro Bowls and selected as a second-team All-Pro in 2017.

SiriusXM NFL Radio hosts include Hall of Famers, former execs and NFL legends

SiriusXM NFL Radio's team of hosts also includes Hall of Famers Tim Brown and Bill Polian, former NFL executives Pat Kirwan, Tom Telesco and Ran Carthon, and NFL Legends including Rich Gannon, Jacob Hester, Todd Haley, Brad Hopkins, Ryan Leaf, Kirk Morrison, Allen Robinson, Isaiah Stanback, Max Starks, Robert Turbin, Solomon Wilcots, Matt Simms, Leger Douzable, Brian Hoyer, Christian Fauria, Ben DiNucci and Ryan Harris.

Sundays during the season, SiriusXM's "NFL Sunday Drive" show airs live from noon to 8 pm ET as all afternoon games are in progress. Hosts Steve Torre and Bill Lekas share up-to-the-moment scores and highlights, take listeners in and out of multiple live game broadcasts so they can hear the most exciting game action in one place, and conduct one-on-one postgame interviews with the day's star players.
