The 2023 NFL season began on 7 September and for the first time NFL Sunday Ticket will not be available on DirecTV. Since 1994, they were the package’s exclusive provider; however, this season it has moved over to YouTube. But how much is NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube?
Before we get into the pricing, let’s take a look at what exactly Sunday Ticket is.
What is NFL Sunday Ticket?
Sunday Ticket is a premium sports package that broadcasts games unavailable on local affiliate stations. This season, games kick off on Sunday, 10 September.
This means that fans of a team outside their local market can watch games that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. It also means that football fans who want to watch as many games as possible can do so without limitation.
The package was previously available through DirecTV but this has changed with the 2023 season. Now, Sunday Ticket is exclusive to YouTube.
How much is NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube?
NFL Sunday Ticket comes with a hefty price tag. However, existing YouTube TV subscribers will get it at a discounted price compared to those accessing the package through general YouTube.
Prices for Sunday Ticket on YouTube are as follows:
- Existing YouTube TV subscribers: $349
- YouTube: $449
Monthly payment option
NFL Sunday Ticket is a pretty pricey sports package. Thankfully, Google offer the option to pay by instalments for those who don’t want to fork out a few hundred dollars in one go.
Per the official support page, the cost can be split into four payments of $99.75.
The service becomes accessible as soon as the first payment is made. However, memberships cannot be cancelled and payments will be taken automatically every month.
Due to local requirements, the option to pay by instalments is not available in the following states:
- Georgia
- Minnesota
- Missouri
- New Jersey
- New York
- Nevada
- Tennessee
7-Day free trial
For those wanting to try the package out before they commit to the significant cost, there is a 7-day free trial to take advantage of.
Both new and existing YouTube TV subscribers can enjoy the free trial and Google has provided a handy guide that explains how to get started.
Please keep in mind that you will be automatically billed for the monthly price of YouTube TV and the full cost of NFL Sunday Ticket if you do not cancel before the end of the free trial period.
