Name a more iconic duo than the NFL and Nickelodeon’s neon green slime, I’ll wait. No? Well they’re back, along with hosts Nate Burleson and Dylan Gilmer, when a brand new season of NFL Slimetime on Nickelodeon kicks off Wednesday, September 11.

After a historic first-ever Super Bowl LVIII alternative broadcast on Nickelodeon, Slimetime is back for the 2024 NFL season, with weekly football highlights like you’ve never seen them before in a kid-themed, slime-filled 30-minute show. It can be streamed on Philo (free trial) and other live TV services.

Now on its fourth season, Slimetime promises more animated football antics, with highlights featuring on-field slime, smoke, lightning and more special effects. The show also features regular celebrity guests and fantasy football picks, all presented in an easy-to-understand format for kids, and best of all someone gets slimed every episode.

Burleson and Gilmer, star of “Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan” (also on Nickelodeon), return this season, along with Dylan Schefter, daughter of ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and Burleson’s daughter, Mia. Each week recaps the previous week of NFL action, so in the new episode, fans can expect to see all the highlights from games like Bills vs. Cardinals, Chiefs vs. Ravens and more.
