The NFL Sunday Ticket landscape has evolved since YouTube TV took over the football package from DirecTV in 2022. Surprisingly, YouTube TV won the bidding war for the exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, beating out ESPN and Amazon.
Google is reportedly paying $2 billion per year over the next seven years for the rights to the Sunday NFL Ticket. Recently, YouTube TV rolled out an enhanced and more detailed version of NFL Sunday Ticket.
But do they offer a discounted price for students who want to purchase the service?
What Is NFL Sunday Ticket?
NFL Sunday Ticket is a subscription service offered by YouTube TV, which is owned by Google. The service allows fans to watch every out-of-market NFL game on Sundays (excluding international games and digital-only contests).
If you don’t already have YouTube TV, you can still get access to NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV by paying a higher price.
