If you’re the kind of NFL fan who happens to cheer for a team that’s not based in your resident city, you’ve historically been out of luck when it comes to watching your favorite team consistently.This is because of regional sports network (RSN) coverage (RSNs provide sports programming within specific “markets,” such as cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York).If you live in Detroit, for example, but root for the Patriots, you only have access to the regional sports network that broadcasts in-market Detroit Lions games, not your preferred out-of-market Patriots games. Luckily, there are more avenues than ever for you to watch every game you want this NFL season, and one of them is NFL Sunday Ticket.
It’s a subscription sports package that gives you access to every regular-season game not shown on your local sports channel.And while it’s exclusively available with YouTube TV, you don’t have to have a YouTube TV subscription to get it. NFL Sunday Ticket is cheaper for new customers, but only for a little while YouTube TV offers NFL Sunday Ticket with or without a YouTube TV plan.If you’re an existing YouTube TV customer, NFL Sunday Ticket will cost a bit more since YouTube TV offers new customers a discount (but keep in mind the new customer discounts are only available for a limited time).
