For years, NFL fans had precious few options if they wanted to watch every NFL game on Sundays. Thanks to the league's partnership with DirecTV, it was extremely difficult to get the NFL Sunday Ticket. However, in 2023, watching every NFL game on Sunday will finally be easier<\/a>, as Google \u2014 as part of its subsidiaries YouTube and YouTube TV \u2014 now owns the rights to this valuable sports media<\/a> package thanks to the NFL Sunday Ticket-YouTube deal. Here is the history of the package, how the move to YouTube TV will work, and the early info on what will the NFL Sunday Ticket-YouTube price be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to 1994, there was no way to watch every out-of-market NFL game on Sunday. That's when Jon Taffer (yes, that Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue<\/em> fame) stepped in and came up with the idea for NFL Sunday Ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with DirecTV, the NFL offers fans every out-of-market NFL game every Sunday for one season-long price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, the Sunday Ticket package has evolved slightly. The package has its own RedZone channel<\/a>, hosted by Andrew Siciliano<\/a>, as opposed to Scott Hanson<\/a>. It can also be customized to show stats and info for your personal fantasy football team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, DirecTV \u2014 a satellite-based television company \u2014 hasn't completely bought in on today's streaming capabilities. Almost without exception, the only way to get this package was to put an unsightly grey disk on your roof or siding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DirecTV did allow a small handful of people to stream the package. If you could prove you were a full-time student or live in an apartment that doesn't allow satellite dishes, streaming was an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As streaming became more popular and satellite-based television became increasingly unnecessary, NFL fans started the countdown to the time the league would liberate the NFL Sunday Ticket from its longtime home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whether it was the writing on the wall, the faltering business model, or some other reason entirely, in the last few years, the innovation from DirecTV around the Sunday Ticket has stopped, and the reliability and customer services have seemingly become less of a priority for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
