Star Wars 8 trailer live stream? How to watch ESPN’s NFL coverage for new movie footage

The Bears and the Vikings are locking horns this evening, with the Star Wars 8 trailer expected somewhere in the mix – but can it be watched in the UK?

Yes, the match itself will be on Sky Sports Action – but there’s an obvious, inevitable catch.

While the UK digital channel will start coverage of it at 1:15am (ending 4:15am), it won’t come complete with the American advert breaks, meaning the Star Wars 8 trailer won’t be broadcast on our shores.

Therefore fans in the UK are best advised to keep an eye online, rather than on their TVs.

You’ll be able to watch it right here as soon as it launches.

It’ll also be shared on the official Star Wars website, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter feeds.

It’s highly likely to arrive at halftime, which we expect will be at around 3am UK time.

Yesterday LucasFilm finally confirmed the long-rumoured broadcast, and uploaded three short adverts promising fans big things.

One showed Rey wielding the iconic blue lightsaber, while another provided a glimpse of Kylo Ren’s recognisable red weapon being activated.

The third utilised Luke Skywalker’s famous line from the teaser: “Breathe… just breathe…”

Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi is out on December 14 in the UK.
