NFL fans have been a bit extra bothered this week, as fans are learning how much they will have to pay to watch games this year. It is going to be quite an expensive endeavor to watch games this year, and fans are taking to social media to share their frustration over the new prices for viewing.
NFL Raises Prices Of Sunday Ticket
Per Taylor Hartman of Gridiron Heroics the prices for all of the games are as follows:
Here is the breakdown of where every game will be streamed for the 2024-2025 season:
-
Local Games: $74.99/month
-
ESPN+: $10.99/month
-
Peacock: $5.99/month
-
Prime: $8.99/month
-
Netflix: $6.99/month
-
Sunday Ticket with RedZone: $739.99
If you were to purchase every single subscription, the total cost to watch every single game would be $1,387.69 for the entire season.
The league will now be adding a way to purchase their Sunday Ticket outside of YouTube TV. However, the pricing for it will be completely unreasonable for the huge majority of fans.
YouTube will place Sunday Ticket on the Apple App Store to watch on an iPad or iPhone. It’ll cost $679.99 a year, or $739.99 if bundled with RedZone.
NFL Fans Are Freaking Out Over New Prices
Fans have been taking to social media to share their fri=ustration over the new prices as a whole, and this additional offer for Sunday Ticket:
“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,” Ryan Svenson said. “I’m doing NFL + this year instead and will be content with RedZone on Sundays and a replay of the game during the week.”
“That Sunday Ticket price is disgraceful to all consumers,” Ron Carthen of 7News DC said.
“WNBA league pass, $35 a year,” a fan noted. “Choose wisely.”
“The ‘contempt for the audience’ pricing tier,” a fan joked.
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

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

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
