Broadcasting legends Vernon Kay and Darren Fletcher are hitting the road with us once again in 2025 — and this time, they’ll be joined by fellow Extra Point Podcast host and Sky Sports NFL presenter, Neil Reynolds, for a truly special Extra Point Podcast Road Trip!
Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams
Dallas Cowboys @ Las Vegas Raiders
Extension option – Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans
We’ve lined up some truly unforgettable games for you in two iconic West Coast cities! We ease you in to the trip with a relaxed day in the Santa Monica sunshine before the action kicks in later in the day. With potential options for a Lakers or Clippers game, as well as a classic college football showdown on the Saturday as the USC Trojans face the Iowa Hawkeyes — expect an electric atmosphere inside the iconic 77,000-capacity LA Coliseum.
Next, we stay in Los Angeles for the big NFC West clash, between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium. We’ll enjoy a tailgate outside the stadium and get set for another epic battle at Rams House!
Then it’s off to Las Vegas, because what’s a West Coast trip without a little Vegas magic? Get ready for the Dallas Cowboys vs Las Vegas Raiders under the lights at Allegiant Stadium.
And if you’ve not quite satisfied your NFL fix, there’s an optional bolt-on to Texas to catch a marquee quarterback matchup — Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills vs. CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans. Have you caught your breath yet?
We’ve lined up a whole host of unforgettable experiences from exclusive stadium tours and iconic sightseeing to unique social evenings, and not to mention two LIVE recordings of the Extra Point Podcast with exclusive audience places for our group.
This is a rare opportunity to spend quality time with three of the most recognisable voices and faces in UK sports broadcasting. Darren Fletcher’s commentary has become iconic across TNT Sports and NFL on ITV; Vernon Kay is one of the flagship presenters on the BBC, a true national treasure; and Neil Reynolds brings unparalleled insight and expert analysis fronting NFL coverage for Sky Sports. Together, they bring energy, knowledge, humour, and a genuine love for the game and its fans.
Throughout the trip, you’ll be supported by our expert Elite Sports Travel tour managers, as well as Darren, Vernon and Neil themselves — all on hand to make sure every detail is taken care of, so you can simply enjoy the NFL Road Trip of a lifetime.

What went down on the 2024 Fumble Road Trip with Fletch & Vern
“Our second NFL trip with the team from Elite, and yet another first class one. From the moment we enquired, through the booking process, and the trip itself the service is second to none. Ben, John and the team take care of every detail and put together first class entertainment (in addition to the game itself). A really important element for us is that the team are on location and there to help should anything be needed. A great example this time was the impending arrival of Hurricane Ian. The team were immediately looking at contingency options were they needed. I can’t recommend Elite highly enough. Exceptional in their field.”
