What channels are we losing on DIRECTV?

In 2023, DIRECTV lost the SUNDAY TICKET, an out-of-market football TV package that carried every regional Sunday football game regardless of location. To get your fix of out-of-market games in the 2025–2026 season, you’ll have to subscribe to the rebranded NFL Sunday Ticket via YouTube TV.
