The good news for NFL fans is that NFL Sunday Ticket has a new home for the 2024 season and beyond! Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know:
Who Has NFL Sunday Ticket Now?
Since 2023, NFL Sunday Ticket is no longer offered by DirecTV. Instead, it’s available through YouTube. You have two options to access it:
- YouTube TV: This is a live TV streaming service from YouTube that offers a base package of channels, including some local channels and popular networks. You can add NFL Sunday Ticket as an additional subscription on top of the base price.
- YouTube Primetime Channels: This is a service within YouTube that allows you to subscribe to individual channels or channel bundles, like NFL Sunday Ticket. You won’t need a YouTube TV subscription to use this option.
What Does NFL Sunday Ticket Offer?
NFL Sunday Ticket lets you watch all out-of-market NFL games during the regular season, giving you access to games that aren’t being broadcast locally. This is a great option for fans who live in areas where their favorite team’s games aren’t shown regularly.
How Much Does NFL Sunday Ticket Cost?
The pricing for NFL Sunday Ticket depends on how you choose to access it:
- YouTube TV: The standalone price for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV is around $349 per season. You’ll also need to factor in the cost of the YouTube TV base subscription, which is currently priced at $72.99 per month.
- YouTube Primetime Channels: Here, you can choose between two options:
- $399 upfront for the entire NFL Sunday Ticket season.
- $99.75 monthly payment for NFL Sunday Ticket only.
- There’s also a bundle option with NFL RedZone for $439 upfront or $109.75 monthly.
Important Considerations
- Student Discount: There’s a discounted rate available for eligible students through YouTube Primetime Channels.
- Automatic Renewal: Be mindful of automatic renewal settings. Currently, YouTube TV doesn’t automatically renew NFL Sunday Ticket subscriptions, but YouTube Primetime Channels does.
Is NFL Sunday Ticket Right for You?
If you’re a die-hard NFL fan who wants to catch every out-of-market game during the regular season, then NFL Sunday Ticket could be a good option. However, consider the cost and whether it fits your budget, especially with the additional YouTube TV subscription if you choose that route.
