Following the Miami Dolphins From the UK: Every Game, UK Time

August 8, 2026

The Miami Dolphins have a genuinely long history with British fans — a following that traces back to the 1980s and has been reinforced by more NFL International Series games in London than almost any other franchise. Search data regularly puts the Dolphins at or near the very top of UK NFL interest, and it's not hard to see why: for a lot of British fans, Miami were the first team they ever really watched.

That long history doesn't make the time zone problem any smaller, though. Miami plays its home games in the Eastern time zone, which is a comfortable five hours behind the UK — meaning the Dolphins' early Sunday games, kicking off around 1pm Eastern, land at a very watchable 6pm UK time. But once Miami gets scheduled into one of the league's evening showcase slots, the maths gets a lot less friendly: an 8:20pm Eastern Sunday or Monday night game starts at 1:20am in the UK, and Thursday Night Football pushes into the small hours on a work night.

So the real question isn't just when the Dolphins play — it's whether this particular week's game is a normal teatime watch or one that needs an alarm clock and a strong coffee. Working that out fresh every week, across a full season, is exactly the kind of small recurring friction that adds up.

SportzCal does the conversion once, for the whole season. Choose the Dolphins, set your real UK time zone, and every game lands in your calendar already showing the correct UK kickoff — no mental subtraction, no double-checking whether it's an afternoon or a middle-of-the-night fixture.

The NFL schedule also genuinely changes shape as the season goes on — flexible scheduling can shift a game's kickoff slot with only a couple of weeks' notice, and the postseason picture (should Miami get there) isn't determined until late in the year. A calendar downloaded in September can be quietly out of date by December without any warning.

That's what the Season Pass is for. It tracks the schedule all season, picks up flexed kickoff times and newly confirmed games the moment they're locked in, and keeps your calendar correct automatically — including a heads-up the moment a playoff fixture is confirmed, so you're never caught out by a Dolphins game you didn't know had been scheduled.

Get the full Dolphins season converted to UK time for $2.99 one-off, or subscribe to the Season Pass for $19.99 a year — up to 3 teams, automatic updates, and playoff alerts. Four decades of Miami fandom in the UK deserves a calendar that actually keeps up.
