NFL Total Access is a television news program on the NFL Network.

It is also broadcast on Sky Sports at various times in the UK.
During the 2007 season, another edition of the program previewing the week's action aired Saturday evenings on MyNetworkTV.[1]
NFL Total Access was originally at the 7pm ET slot before being moved down to the 8pm ET time slot on September 2, 2013. On July 14, 2014, NFL Total Access moved back to the 7pm ET slot.
NFL Total Access is hosted by MJ Acosta. The main analysts are David Carr and Willie McGinest, but other analysts include Kurt Warner, Thomas Davis Sr., James Jones, Maurice Jones-Drew, Shaun O'Hara, Michael Robinson, Steve Smith Sr., DeAngelo Hall and LaDainian Tomlinson.
