An ongoing DirecTV ad campaign featuring Travis Kelce creates the impression that all football games can still be seen on the satellite-based service (i.e., “DirecTV Sports Central gives you access to every game”). However, DirecTV no longer gives you access to every game. Because DirecTV no longer has Sunday Ticket.

2023 From 1994 to 2023, the package was distributed in the United States exclusively by DirecTV (which also offered it on the Internet, on certain tablets and smartphones, and JetBlue flights).

Since 1994, DirecTV has carried NFL Sunday Ticket, a programming package that lets you watch out-of-market regular season NFL games. In December 2022, Google won the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, outbidding Amazon and ESPN, and is subscriptions available on its YouTube TV live streaming service and YouTube.

NFL Sunday Ticket is not an option for DIRECTV STREAM. It is only through YouTube's options. It is frustrating that DirecTV (satellite) lost the NFL Sunday Ticket so they didn't even get a chance to see about getting a deal for the STREAM service.

DirecTV was the home of “NFL Sunday Ticket” from 1994 until last season. YouTube agreed to a seven-year deal last December to take over the package of out-of-market Sunday afternoon games on CBS and Fox.

At its height with DirecTV, Sunday Ticket was widely reported to have around 2 million subscribers. But DirecTV as a whole lost 400,000 subscribers in its most recent financial quarter and is down to about 12.3 million.

Like many similar providers, DirecTV is a casualty of the increasing dominance and success of streaming services, a phenomenon not just isolated to the U.S. but which has spread all across North America.

Heads Up! NFL Sunday Ticket is no longer available through DIRECTV; however, you can access our SPORTS PACK, which includes NFL Network and NFL RedZone.
