How To Get NFL Sunday Ticket Without DIRECTV

Can I get Sunday Ticket without DIRECTV?

Yes, you can get NFL Sunday Ticket without DIRECTV by signing up through YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels.

Following the 2022 NFL season, NFL Sunday Ticket left DIRECTV for YouTube. The out-of-market package will stay with YouTube through at least 2030.

NFL Sunday Ticket streaming package

With NFL Sunday Ticket now on YouTube, streaming is the only way to watch live out-of-market NFL games. That’s great for cord-cutters, but anyone without fast and reliable internet will miss out. Though, you could always try finding a local bar or restaurant for NFL Sunday Ticket access.

NFL Sunday Ticket at bars and restaurants

You can juke an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription altogether and still watch your favorite out-of-market NFL teams. All you must do is belly up to your nearest bar or restaurant with NFL Sunday Ticket coverage.

DIRECTV has a nifty Sports Bar Finder app that tracks down the nearest venues showing crucial sports matchups.

NFL Sunday Ticket for students

Previously, the NFL and DIRECTV offered a massively discounted NFL Sunday Ticket student package called NFLSUNDAYTICKET.TV U. YouTube now offers a discounted student plan for $199 per season. Students can also bundle the plan with NFL RedZone for an extra $10.

NFL Plus: out-of-market games on demand

The NFL launched its NFL+ streaming service in 2022—replacing NFL Games Pass in the U.S. If you’re still not keen on the pricing for NFL Sunday Ticket, NFL+ Premium is the next best option for out-of-market game access.

The premium plan costs $14.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Unfortunately, full out-of-market games on NFL+ are available only on demand, so you can’t start watching them until after they end in real time. But NFL+ Premium includes NFL RedZone for live whip-around coverage of every Sunday afternoon game—our favorite alternative to NFL Sunday Ticket. Plus, you’ll get live local and primetime games for mobile viewing on top of 24/7 NFL Network access.

Ultimately, you may want to pair NFL+ with a live TV streaming service like Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, or YouTube TV. Then, you can watch Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, and Monday Night Football matchups on a larger screen. The same goes for watching the NFL Playoffs and the Super Bowl.

NFL Game Pass International (with a VPN)

NFL Game Pass is still an active service in most countries and territories outside the U.S., and you can still access it stateside. The international service offers every NFL game live and on demand. All you need to do is use a virtual private network (VPN) (that’s not blocked by the NFL) to sign up and watch games on NFL Game Pass International via DAZN.

When using a VPN with NFL Game Pass, you must connect to a server outside the U.S. and Canada. The pricing may vary depending on your server location, but it’ll be much cheaper than NFL Sunday Ticket. And you’ll have the option to pay with a credit card or use PayPal.
