NFL Sunday Ticket is heading to YouTube. After months of speculation, the league and Google announced a partnership to stream all out-of-market football games in the US, starting next football season, in the fall of 2023. The games will be available to watch on YouTube TV and YouTube’s Primetime Channels service.
This is big news, but as a football fan you probably have plenty of questions about this partnership and what it will mean. We don’t have all the information yet, but let’s try to answer some of the biggest questions now.Will NFL Sunday Ticket be free on YouTube?
Almost certainly not. The NFL and Google have not announced how much Sunday Ticket will cost next season, but what they have said suggests you will have to pay some type of subscription fee. In the press release announcing the deal, the league says that Sunday Ticket will be available as «an add-on package on YouTube TV and standalone a-la-carte on YouTube Primetime Channels.»
How much either will cost remains unclear. How much does Sunday Ticket cost now?
DirecTV, which has offered Sunday Ticket since its inception in 1994, charged around $300 for the base Sunday Ticket package this past season. A «Max» version that offered a DirecTV-specific version of RedZone and allowed for multiple streams cost $400 for the season. Do I need to subscribe to YouTube TV to get Sunday Ticket?
No.
