King: NFL Sunday Ticket Price on YouTube TV Estimated to Be Around $300 for Consumer
The NFL Sunday Ticket move to YouTube TV has been widely celebrated by fans, and the reduced cost could be even better news.
"The price point has not been determined, but one TV person estimated it would be in the neighborhood of $300 for the season," Peter King of NBC Sports reported Monday.
The package for DirecTV with extra features costs $149.99 per month, with a $79.99 monthly cost for the satellite company's regular subscription, per Lillian Rizzo of CNBC.
King also noted YouTube TV could provide a "single-team option" for fans, providing an opportunity to see only one team's out-of-market games while paying a cheaper cost. The only choice in the current system provides all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games and NFL RedZone for a fixed rate.
DirecTV had been the exclusive home of Sunday Ticket since 1994, but the NFL announced a deal last week with YouTube TV starting in the 2023 season. Per Rizzo, the NFL will make $2 billion annually on the new seven-year contract.

Nice. This is what a lot of us have been waiting for.

Yep, that's huge news. I'll believe it when I see it, but this is Shangri-La for us one-team, out of marketers. If they pull that off, YTTV subs are going through the roof.
I wonder if we’ll need to be subscribed to YouTube TV to get it? And, can you sign up just for the season?

I would say yes and yes. YTTV is subscription based, so I don't know how you'd avoid a subscription. But unlike DTV, you pay per month and can quit at any time. It's like Netflix. There are no contracts. I don't watch TV so I typically cancel YTTV after the football season.
Will NFLST change that? I doubt they'd be that stupid. EVERYthing is monthly now. And why DTV is likely going belly up.
I would imagine you could pay the monthly YTTV sub price ($65-$75 IIRC), add to it whatever your NFLST package cost is, and then cancel at the end of the season.

Dish will survive but DTV wont...

Didn't even realize Dish was still around.

They are and Comcast is still huge in the live tv world too.
Will be interesting to see if Gov lets Dish/DTV merge. Rumor has been out there for some time. Losing NFL for DTV is a big deal.

So we went to South Africa this spring. Every dang hut…especially the ones in the shanty towns had a satellite dish on it. DTV and Dish might have problems where there is reliable high speed internet but that wont be the case worldwide for decades.
Iiirc dtv has been losing money for a while now on the NFL deal. I can't imagine that won't be the same thing for yttv, they will either jack the rates or likely make some other changes to what they are floating out.
