The NFL has made a major shift to multiple streaming services over the years, which has caused fans to pay much more money to watch all of the games. The league partnered with YouTube TV last season which caused all fans to pay for a new streaming service to watch their favorite team play. There have now been new partnerships with more streaming services for this upcoming season, and the total price to watch every game has fans upset.

I bailed on Sunday Ticket this year. There’s just no way it’s worth the price to watch my favorite team’s full game every week. I’m doing NFL + this year instead and will be content with RedZone on Sundays and a replay of the game during the week. https://t.co/PitxLmWStC

The NFL has lost it's mind. That is half the cost of a season ticket.
Remember when it was free to watch football on Sundays from your own couch? https://t.co/weVaj3I6Iw— Kev's Hobbies (@KevsHobbies) August 20, 2024
I’m not paying over $700.00 for this, seriously the NFL needs to come up with their own streaming service to watch all the games for a low price https://t.co/zPyGvR6ILs

I’m so glad that after paying the outrageous price of the NFL Sunday ticket I still can’t see half the games I want. Today it says I have to add 4k plus to my plan to watch this game. Why? pic.twitter.com/hghwdXpVa6
