NFL Sunday Ticket: Should You Get It?

The NFL Sunday Ticket add-on is $379 for the season with YouTube TV or $479 a la carte, and NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone Channel is $519 without YouTube TV. 

Unfortunately, none of these prices include your YouTube TV subscription. However, if you want to keep your cable or satellite TV provider and order the Ticket without YouTube TV, that's possible, too! But as you'll see, it costs $100 extra for the season. 

Remember, once you order NFL Sunday Ticket, you won't be able to cancel and get a refund. 

The plan is a pretty hefty price upfront, but if you break it down by the 18 weeks of the regular football season, that’s about $22–$28 per week. 

But trust us when we say NFL Sunday Ticket is the best way to access all out-of-market games.

Yes! This 2024–2025 NFL season, you can get NFL Sunday Ticket for free with either Verizon's Unlimited Ultimate phone plan and an eligible trade-in (valid for new and existing mobile customers) or with eligible Verizon home internet plans. 

The savings don't end with a free Ticket. You could even combine your wireless and home internet services to save even more. Get up to $25 off your Verizon Fios bill every month with an eligible Verizon Wireless plan, plus discounts on other internet services like Verizon 5G and LTE. 

NFL Sunday Ticket delivers over 200 games to your TV during the regular season.

If you're a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan who lives in Seattle and want to watch all 17 games, NFL Sunday Ticket is for you. (But you'll also need your local channels for the primetime games.)

If you're a players fan or a Fantasy Football diehard, and want to catch the occasional Steelers game, you'll benefit from a TV service with the local channels, ESPN, and NFL Network.

You'll also want the NFL RedZone Channel. What's the NFL RedZone Channel, you ask?

Well, the best channel ever made.

This channel will show you the best moments of the Sunday morning and afternoon games in real-time. This channel jumps to whichever team is inside the 20-yard line with a chance to score and show replays of outstanding pick-6s, tackles, one-handed grabs, and Hail Marys.

We have a list of live TV streaming services and traditional TV providers with these NFL-game channels.

But for either fan, you'll have to order Amazon Prime Video for Thursday Night Football games.

There is only one case in which your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription won't give you access to a specific game—and that's when the game is on your local CBS, FOX, or NBC channel. 

So don't worry. Just switch over to your channel guide to find your local CBS or FOX channel for the Sunday afternoon games, or the NBC channel for Sunday Night Football. 

NFL Sunday Ticket is available everywhere in the US, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection. 

If you need a more stable and steady Wi-Fi, we have a list of the best internet service providers so you don't have to worry about your game freezing during the last two minutes.

For those who reside in Canada (or anywhere outside of the US), you likely could watch NFL Sunday Ticket games with a VPN.

A VPN helps keep your location and your personal information private, making it possible for you to stream NFL games from your country. 

NFL Sunday Ticket requires a minimum of 3 Mbps to stream, but 7 Mbps is recommended for higher picture quality. And we'd recommend 7+ Mbps for a smoother stream with no buffering.

NFL Sunday Ticket doesn't air NFL playoff games or the Super Bowl. But, with YouTube TV's channel lineup, you’ll have access to most playoff games and the Super Bowl.

If watching every out-of-market football game with the push of a button is a must, then yes.

If watching your team play all 17 games of the regular season is a must, then yes.

But if you'd rather watch the exciting moments of Sunday's games, watch TNF, SNF, and MNF broadcasted games, we recommend the following:

• NFL RedZone Channel add-on
• A TV provider that offers this add-on and has CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC, and NFL Network in its channel lineup (fuboTV, Xfinity TV, DISH TV, and YouTube TV)
• Amazon Prime Video for TNF games
