This service was used by a lot of people since it first launched in 1994. The rights have always been owned by DirecTV from the beginning, but the company decided to not renew the contract that was set to expire following the 2022 season.

The bidding war ended up with YouTube as the winner. Just like Thursday Night Football recently went to Amazon, this complete package of Sunday games will have a new host starting this year. Although the prices were finally revealed, with the figures being a bit surprising.

There is a wide range of prices depending on the type of YouTube subscription the customer has. That’s what could make NFL Sunday Ticket even more expensive, and some of the options don’t sound very affordable.

In case you also want to have NFL RedZone, the price is $289, or $389 if you don’t get it during the presale period. NFL RedZone on YouTube TV alone costs $10.99 per month.

In case you are subscribed to YouTube Primetime Channels, NFL Sunday Ticket will cost $349 during the presale or $449 afterwards. If you want to include NFL RedZone, the prices are $389 or $489 depending on when you get it.

What is NFL Sunday Ticket?

The NFL Sunday Ticket is one of the many ways fans can catch up with all the action. This service will allow customers to watch games on any platform, whether it’s TV or mobile devices as long as they support YouTube and YouTube TV. Its main advantage is that you wouldn’t need to pay for a full a cable subscription if you just like watching football.

Here’s the description made on YouTube’s official site: “Consisting of all out-of-market Sunday regular-season NFL games (based on viewer’s location) broadcast on FOX and CBS, NFL Sunday Ticket allows fans in the United States the ability to follow all their favorite teams and players no matter where they live”.

The television agreements were the ones who came first. Those new contracts signed with Amazon, FOX, CBS, ESPN/ABC, and NBC run from 2023 to 2033 are worth a gigantic amount of money. Reportedly, those agreements will leave the league a total of over 10 billion per season.

But there was one service left to be distributed. After a lot of speculation of which company would get the NFL Sunday Ticket, it was Google the one that won the bid. Check out how much the technology juggernaut will pay per year.

How much will Google pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket?

There were a lot of talks of which offer was going to win. The potential deal with Apple was something the NFL saw as a perfect opportunity to partner with a global firm, although the association with Google will also have a ton of repercussion.

NFL Sunday Ticket was the service left to be sold. It has been on DirecTV since 1994, with the last contract being worth 1.5 billion per year. But 2022 will be its last year there, so now there will be a streaming service ready to take that.

Google will pay two billion per year for the rights to stream those games starting next season. It was a contract with the NFL of 14 billion dollars that will run through 2033, according to CNBC. The platforms will be YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels with a price of subscription that wasn’t determined.
