YouTube TV and NFL Sunday Ticket are coming to YouTube. The new service will offer live streaming of local channels, including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and the CW in addition to the regular YouTube TV lineup of channels. The service will also include access to ESPN and Disney Channel. YouTube TV is a $40 per month service that offers over 60 channels including local broadcast stations. It includes a cloud DVR with unlimited storage for recordings and can be watched on devices including phones, tablets, gaming consoles, and smart TVs. NFL Sunday Ticket is a $70 per year service that offers live streaming of all NFL games except for those on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. ..
The NFL has announced that the NFL Sunday Ticket will now be available only on YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels starting with the 2023 season. This means that the company’s long-standing partnership with the AT&T-owned DirecTV, which began all the way in 1994, is coming to a close, and all regional Sunday afternoon games will be available for streaming on Google’s live TV platform.
NFL’s out-of-market sports package is moving out of satellite TV completely, and it will now only be available for streaming online. That might pose a problem for a number of commercial establishments, like restaurants, that are still using satellite TV to show games and have yet to cut the cord. Google and the NFL said that they will explore ways to support the distribution of the NFL Sunday Ticket for these scenarios.
