YouTube unveils NFL Sunday Ticket pricing details

YouTube, the provider taking over for DirecTV, set presale discounts and features for its inaugural season.

$349 for non YouTubeTV subscribers.
$249 for YouTubeTV subscribers.

YouTube is adding several features to Sunday Ticket, though they will not be consistent between YouTube TV and Primetime Channels. On YouTube TV, features include being able to view four games at once (including the local contest), unlimited DVR storage, personalized recommendations, the choice to view key plays, NFL fantasy data, real-time stats and “hide spoilers.” Hide spoilers is a settings function that turns off other game scores crossing the screen.

Being able to record the games to watch later is a pretty huge feature for me as it wasn't available with the DirecTV streaming package. The real-time stats might be nice.

I'll be giving it a shot since I'm a Youtube TV subscriber (finally got rid of DirecTV). I'm disappointed that there's not a single-team package.

It’ll pay the $249. It’d be nice if it was a little bit cheaper for a single team package.

They are looking into that but I suspect that the discount won't be much anyway. Probably it will be the same $249 price you can get now for early bird purchasing next year. I suspect that a huge percentage of subscribers are single team purchases.

Curious what they are going to do for bars.

NFL partners with RedBird Capital to make Sunday Ticket available to bars, restaurants, hotels

When the NFL sold the rights to Sunday Ticket to YouTube, the arrangement covered only consumers.

I was hoping for single game packages. It looks like 350 for me,.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Hopefully cable gets to keep it up here. Only being able to record 4 at once is primitive.

 

[Southieinnc]

I was hoping for a better deal.

Looks like NFL+ for me at $9 per month for every single game!

That sucks!

It doesn't help me at all since I am in the Bengals market already. I just cancelled my YouTube TV because I was sick of the pricing going up like the other cable providers. The latest price hike drove me out. Now I just pay for Peacock, Paramount+ and Netflix, while sharing my subscriptions with a couple friends. One friend pays for Amazon Prime and Disney +, the other gets HULU and HBO Max. So between all of us sharing my price for TV dropped to like $26/month.

Those subscriptions get me live TV for CBS, NBC and FOX and I can still watch Thursday Night games on Amazon. I lose ESPN, NFL Network and ABC, but fortunately, I got friends that have the packages for me to watch at their place.

lol and some thought it would be cheaper welcome to the high price of watching sports

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

I dropped Sunday Ticket couple of years back because of those high rates. I enjoyed DirecTV giving it to me free last season but I didn't get an overriding reason to resubscribe. I haven't subscribed to You Tube primarily because of the complaints around their pricing.

This isn't moving the needle for me.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Nope. Either give me a choice for a single team package or I'm not wasting my time. I'm not hardcore NFL lol. Fuck no lol. Just my team.

I'll stick with my antenna

Their losing money by not having single team packages, or two team packages

It's a big missed opportunity. Oh well, They'll have to see what kind of return they get on the "all or nothing" Ticket model and see if they need to tweak some things for next season. I think single-team deals for 100 or even 150 would sell like hotcakes.

They should get 200 for single team deals. 350 is kind of pricey. You have 17 games. Every team gets one monday, Sunday, and Thursday night game. So now you are down to 14 games. so, 350/14 is $25 per game if you are following a out of market team. Thats how I look at it. The NFL and youtube lied when it said there would be a single team option.
