NFL Sunday Ticket Price Skyrockets Amid Schedule Changes

The NFL Sunday Ticket package, which provides out-of-market games, has seen its standard price increase to $480 for the 2026-2027 season. This price hike comes as the league expands its national broadcasting partnerships, reducing the number of games available through the subscription service. Games broadcast nationally on platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Fox, as well as those aired locally by CBS and Fox, are no longer included in the Sunday Ticket offering.

This strategic shift by the NFL means subscribers will encounter fewer games within the package, particularly impacting fans whose local teams are featured in national slots. While various discounted prices exist for returning subscribers, new users, and specific groups, the core cost and diminished game selection are notable. The league's schedule for the upcoming season includes games on Wednesdays and Fridays, along with multiple international broadcasts, further fragmenting the traditional Sunday afternoon viewing experience and raising questions about the value proposition of Sunday Ticket.
