How to get nfl sunday ticket without cable

NFL Sunday Ticket provides football fans with the most efficient way to have access to any game they want through their television or mobile device. It’s an extremely popular streaming service that is currently operated by DirecTV, but that could soon be changing, leaving spectators with plenty of questions about its future. We’ll do our best to address these frequently asked questions about NFL Sunday Ticket streaming down below.

What is NFL Sunday Ticket?

The NFL Sunday Ticket television package has been around since 1994. It essentially offers football fans a chance to watch any NFL game they want to, broadcasting games that are not available on local channels. This allows fans from all around the world a chance to catch their favorite team’s games, even though they don’t live anywhere near their fanbase’s local market.

In the United States, the NFL Sunday Ticket package is made available by DirecTV in addition to a separate online-only subscription option available to students and those who cannot otherwise gain access to DirecTV.

It’s been this way since 2015, but that could be changing soon.

DirecTV’s contract to exclusively carry NFL Sunday Ticket ends at the conclusion of the 2022 football season, which opens up the football package to other bidding competitors. As of now, Apple appears to be the frontrunner, but Amazon and ESPN have also been linked to the football streaming service. Most recently, word has emerged of Google making a bid in which Sunday Ticket would be broadcast on Youtube.

An announcement on the next home of NFL Sunday Ticket is expected to come in the next few months.

For now, it sounds as if discussions have slowed due to the league’s asking price. According to Tripp Mickle of the New York Times, the NFL is seeking $2.5 billion per season in exchange for the rights to the NFL streaming package. DirecTV currently pays an estimated $1.5 billion per season.
