NFL SUNDAY TICKET from DIRECTV

NFL SUNDAY TICKET 2022 from DIRECTV

DIRECTV claims to be the “undisputed leader in sports” and much of the credit for that title comes from their exclusive sports package, NFL SUNDAY TICKET (NFLST). Outside of your local sports bar (which likely has the commercial version of NFLST), it’s the only way to watch every live, out-of-market game, every Sunday.*

For the 2022 season, you’ll also get the NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX, DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE® CHANNEL and the RED ZONE CHANNEL® with your NFLST package.

NFL SUNDAY TICKET is the priciest out-of-market package from any of the sports leagues, but many transplants and football fanatics will agree it’s well worth the price. If you largely support the home team, or don’t care to get DIRECTV, however, NFLST may not be for you. We break down all the details of NFLST below, including pricing and features, to help you decide.

*With NFL SUNDAY TICKET and DIRECTV local channels (CBS, FOX, NBC). Select int’l games excluded.

What is NFL SUNDAY TICKET?

In short, NFL SUNDAY TICKET shows every live, out-of-market NFL broadcast, every Sunday during the regular season. It does not give you in-market broadcasts, or any pre-season, post-season, Monday night or Thursday night games.

Out-of-market games are NFL SUNDAY TICKET’s main selling point, but the package also comes with some added features that will delight any true fan of the game.

• The Red Zone Channel®*** – Brings you the final yards of every scoring drive around the league on one LIVE channel.
• DIRECTV Fantasy Zone® Channel*** – Watch your favorite fantasy players live from game-to-game with real-time analysis.
• Game Mix Channels***_¹ – Watch up to 4 or 8 live NFL games on one screen, complete with scores and game clock.
• Live game updates and stats* – Check the scores and teams stats around the league without leaving the channel or game you’re on.
• Individual player tracking – Select up to 20 players each week to keep up with on game day and get screen alerts when one makes a big (fantasy football scoring) play.
• Live game streaming – An NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription gets you access to the NFL SUNDAY TICKET App, which enables live game streaming on one device. DIRECTV only allows for streaming on one device at a time, so “password sharing” isn’t really possible with NFLST as it is with some other streaming services.
• Abridged games – The Short Cuts channel shows full games minus the commercials and time between plays so you can watch an entire game in less than 30 minutes. Every one of Sunday’s games are available on the Short Cuts channel the following Monday through Wednesday, including any in-market games that were blacked out.

*Requires a broadband-connected HD DVR.
**Out-of-market games only. Select int’l games excluded.
***Only available in HD

NFL SUNDAY TICKET vs. NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX

NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX offers everything you’d get with the standard NFLST, along with some added channels. A subscription to the DIRECTV CHOICE package or above includes NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX. Purchased on its own, an NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX subscription will cost you around $100 more than the standard package and comes with:

• DIRECTV RED ZONE CHANNEL®* – The Red Zone Channel is the ultimate highlight reel, complete with every one of Sunday’s touchdown-scoring plays. Note: this is a separate channel from the NFL Network’s RedZone channel.
• DIRECTV FANTASY ZONE® CHANNEL* – Get the competitive edge with in-depth analysis, stats, predictions and more around the biggest playmakers in the league.

*Only available in HD.

Expert tip: MAX does not offer any additional games over the standard package

Unless you’re big into fantasy football, there’s no overwhelming reason to go with NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX over the standard package. If you just want to watch your team play on Sunday, we recommend getting the standard package and saving the $100.

Can I get NFL SUNDAY TICKET for free?

The 2022 season of NFL SUNDAY TICKET is included for new customers with the DIRECTV CHOICE, ULTIMATE and PREMIER packages at no additional cost.

Current DIRECTV customers can also add NFL SUNDAY TICKET to their DIRECTV package, but you’ll probably have to pay full price to get it. If you’ve been a DIRECTV customer for a few years and your account is in good standing, you may want to call DIRECTV customer service to see if they’ll give you a season for free. It’s a long shot, but it’s not much different than calling to negotiate a lower price on your bill. 

If you’re new to DIRECTV, you can get the 2022 season of NFLST MAX included when you order the CHOICE package or above.** Other qualifying DIRECTV packages include the ULTIMATE and PREMIER packages. Check out our DIRECTV channel guide for a full list of channels in these packages.

**New customers activating the CHOICE package or above will be eligible to receive the 2021 season of NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX (a $395.94 value) at no extra cost. After the 2022 season, the NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription will renew automatically each season at the prevailing rate (currently $293.94) unless the customer cancels the subscription prior to the new enrollment is in effect, or DIRECTV no longer carries the NFL SUNDAY TICKET package.
