What Sunday Ticket covers

Every Sunday afternoon game that is not airing on your local CBS or FOX station. It does not include Thursday, Sunday night or Monday games, which air nationally anyway. Prices change each season and early-bird deals are common; check YouTube’s page for this season’s offer.

The alternatives, one by one

  • Antenna, free. Your local CBS and FOX stations show one to three Sunday afternoon games, plus NBC’s Sunday night game. If you follow the local team, this covers most of its season.
  • NFL+. Live local and prime-time games on phones and tablets, plus replays. It does not put out-of-market Sunday games on your TV.
  • NFL RedZone. Seven hours of live whip-around coverage on Sunday afternoons, through cable and streaming bundles and NFL+ Premium.
  • Live-TV bundles. Carry the local stations, ESPN and NFL Network; Sunday Ticket is an add-on only on YouTube TV.
  • IPTV services, including ours. Carry local stations from many markets plus ESPN and NFL Network. Read our legal guide so you know how licensing works before you choose.

For fans of a team far away

If you follow a team from another region, Sunday Ticket is the one product that promises all of its Sunday afternoon games. Check your team’s page on our NFL schedule: some weeks its game is national or happens to be shown in your market anyway.

What readers want to know

Will Sunday Ticket show the games my local station carries?

No; Games airing on your local CBS or FOX station are not part of Sunday Ticket; you watch those on the local station.

Can I watch Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV?

Yes. Since 2023 it has also been sold as a YouTube Primetime Channel, without a YouTube TV subscription.

Is NFL RedZone the same as Sunday Ticket?

No. RedZone jumps between games when teams are near scoring; Sunday Ticket lets you watch complete games.
