NFL Sunday Ticket Loses Value at $480 as Expanded Windows Pull More Games Off Package

Summary
$480 is YouTube's listed 2026-27 price for NFL Sunday Ticket, even as the package now excludes a shrinking share of games because more matchups are sold into national windows.
Six Wednesday and Friday games, five Netflix games and international matchups across nine of 18 weeks further thin the Sunday afternoon inventory that Sunday Ticket actually carries.
Discounted rates range from $240 for new users to $119 for students, but fans who want every NFL game still need separate subscriptions including Amazon Prime, Peacock and Netflix.
Out-of-market fans of teams with few primetime slots such as the Cardinals, Titans, Dolphins and Raiders may still need the package most, while fans of heavily televised teams like the Chiefs or Cowboys often will not.
Rep. Jim Jordan raised the issue at a congressional hearing on NFL streaming and fan costs, adding antitrust scrutiny to complaints that the league's broader distribution strategy has made Sunday Ticket harder to justify.
