Sport in Seriousness
The 2024–25 NFL season begins Thursday night with the Baltimore Ravens traveling to face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, at Arrowhead Stadium.
The game will be broadcast on NBC, so it can be watched by fans with a basic cable connection, but if you want to watch games outside of your destination country throughout the NFL season, NFL Sunday Ticket is your best bet.
NFL Sunday Ticket is a sports broadcast package that features all NFL regular season Sunday games that are not available in your market and are not available on your local NBC, CBS or FOX affiliates. The service is offered exclusively through YouTube TV.
Since its launch in 1984, the package was previously broadcast by satellite service DirecTV. Google, which owns YouTube and live-streaming service YouTube TV, acquired the rights to the package in December 2022, outbidding Amazon and ESPN and paying about $2 billion annually over seven years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Here you can find out all about the prices of each Sunday ticket package as well as some discounts that will help you save this football season.

The discount is available to college or university students who can sign up on YouTube’s NFL Sunday Ticket website.
Students can sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan on the YouTube website for $199. YouTube recommends using a personal email address to set up NFL Sunday Ticket (you’ll be looking through the NFL page on YouTube) as some university networks have restrictions on .edu accounts.
There you can choose to subscribe to either the NFL Sunday Ticket ($199) or the NFL Sunday Ticket with NFL RedZone ($209). The RedZone channel, hosted by Scott Hanson, follows the most important plays of the Sunday games live for seven hours and can broadcast up to 8 games simultaneously via the famous “Octobox”.
Students will then be directed to the SheerID website to verify their student status. Students will then be required to provide a payment method.
NFL Sunday Ticket offers new features this season
NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers on YouTube and YouTube TV can look forward to some new features this upcoming regular season, including one that could help them win their fantasy football leagues.
Sunday Ticket subscribers will be able to watch games differently than they did a year ago thanks to the addition of a new Fantasy View partner, deeper fantasy integrations and multi-view improvements, according to a blog shared by YouTube.
“This year, every single fan will have an even more personalized gaming experience,” the blog says. “We’re excited to introduce the latest of many features coming your way this fall.”
Additionally, YouTube has improved the multiview feature by allowing subscribers to create any available combination of two, three or four NFL Sunday Ticket games, according to the blog.
YouTube TV Basic Plan members also have the ability to find the multiview streams of their local NFL games they want through select broadcasters.
