The NFL season has arrived and now it's time to make sure you can catch your favorite teams in action. For a lot of fans, that means purchasing NFL Sunday Ticket.

The first Sunday of the NFL season launched a new era for the programming package of out-of-market regular season NFL games, as it marked the first time the package was not available through DirecTV.

NFL Sunday Ticket has been delivered by DirecTV since it launched in 1994, Google won the rights to the package in December 2022 by outbidding Amazon and ESPN and paying about $2 billion annually over seven years, the Wall Street Journal has reported. The package is now available exclusively through YouTube and the YouTube TV streaming service.

Here's what you need to know about NFL Sunday Ticket, including the price and how to subscribe.

How do I subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube or YouTube TV?

  • YouTube TV subscribers: Go to your add-on options and choose to add NFL Sunday Ticket.

  • Non-YouTube TV subscribers: Go to the NFL page on YouTube and click on the Get NFL Sunday Ticket button. (You can also click the Movies & TV option on the left side panel of your browser, under Explore, then you will see NFL as an option. It's a good idea to subscribe to the NFL YouTube channel so it remains in your subscriptions list on the left.)

How to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV and YouTube

  • YouTube TV subscribers: On Sunday, Sunday Ticket will show up similar on YouTube TV similar to how any other content does: in the Home, Live Guide, and Library tabs, and on the NFL page. On the Home tab, subscribers will see an entire row showing local and out-of-market games.

  • Non-YouTube TV subscribers: In the Movies & TV tab on YouTube, you will find a dedicated NFL row for out-of-market Sunday Ticket games. If you subscribed to the NFL page, you can also click that under your subscriptions.

NFL Sunday Ticket available in multiview

Yes. The multiview option lets you watch two, three or four NFL games – or NFL RedZone – at the same time on Sunday. Just look for the "Watch in Multiview" option while watching on a smart TV or streaming TV device – the multiview feature is not available on mobile devices or on web browsers. Currently, you cannot choose which games to fill your multiview windows because YouTube does the processing on its own servers.
