NFL Sunday Ticket, which allows fans to watch all-out-of-market Sunday regular-season games, is moving from DirecTV to Google-owned YouTube TV beginning next season, the league announced Thursday morning.
Terms were not disclosed, but the Wall Street Journal reported that Google will pay approximately $2 billion for the multi-year package.
Sunday Ticket will be available on two of YouTube’s subscription-based businesses: as an add-on channel on the streaming-service YouTube TV, and standalone a la carte option – meaning the subscribers selects the games they want to watch – on YouTube’s Primetime Channels.
“We’re excited to bring NFL Sunday Ticket to YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels and usher in a new era of how fans across the United States watch and follow the NFL,” said commissioner Roger Goodell in a statement.
