Can you get the NFL Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV?

Here are four alternative ways to access NFL Sunday Ticket without YouTube TV:

Standalone NFL Sunday Ticket subscription via YouTube Primetime Channels

You can purchase an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription directly through YouTube Primetime Channels. This method costs $100 more upfront than YouTube TV, but it avoids the monthly subscription fee of YouTube TV, offering long-term savings.

Watching at bars or restaurants

Commercial venues like bars and restaurants, equipped with DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS, can still show out-of-market NFL games. The DIRECTV Sports Bar Finder app can help you locate a nearby venue offering NFL Sunday Ticket.

NFL+ streaming service

NFL+ offers a more affordable option at $14.99 per month. It doesn’t provide live out-of-market games but allows on-demand streaming of every NFL game after it ends, including access to NFL Network and NFL RedZone.

NFL Game Pass International with a VPN

To access NFL Game Pass International, you can access all live NFL games (in-market, out-of-market, and primetime) through a VPN. This method is more complex and may involve latency issues. Still, it can be effective if you choose the right VPN provider and server, with Brazil being a recommended VPN server location due to lower costs for NFL Game Pass Pro.

Does YouTube TV have a free trial?

YouTube TV offers new subscribers a free trial to explore its Base Plan, which includes over 100 channels. The free trial is available only if you’re new to YouTube TV and haven’t had a trial before. You can also trial additional networks like HBO Max or Spanish Plus during this period. After the trial, you’ll be charged for the Base Plan and any add-ons you’ve chosen, with this payment date becoming your monthly billing date.

Trial lengths for the Base Plan or Spanish Plan vary, and add-on network trials have separate sign-ups and billing. If you cancel during the trial, access to YouTube TV and any add-ons ends immediately.
