NFL Sunday Ticket Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

NFL Sunday Ticket is the out-of-market package for Sunday afternoon NFL games, the ones your local CBS and FOX stations do not carry. Since the 2023 season it has been sold through YouTube, either on its own in the YouTube app or as an add-on to a YouTube TV plan.

What you pay comes down to two things: whether YouTube counts you as a new or a returning Sunday Ticket customer, and whether you buy it alone or alongside YouTube TV. The prices on this page are published by YouTube TV and were checked on Oct 11, 2026. YouTube sets new prices each season, so confirm the current offer on its Sunday Ticket page before you buy.

The standalone package works in the regular YouTube app and on YouTube's TV apps. You do not need a YouTube TV subscription to buy it.

New users pay $240 for the season. Returning users pay $480. YouTube decides who counts as new, and anyone who bought Sunday Ticket in an earlier season should expect the returning price.

If you already pay for YouTube TV, or plan to, you can add Sunday Ticket to that plan. The YouTube TV base subscription is billed separately and is not included in the prices below.

For new users, the price is $240, the same as the standalone package. Returning users pay $378 with a YouTube TV plan instead of $480 on its own. For a returning subscriber who wants a live TV service anyway, the add-on route usually makes sense. If you would only sign up for YouTube TV to get the lower Sunday Ticket price, add the YouTube TV monthly cost for the season to $378 before deciding.

YouTube lets you split the season price into eight payments instead of paying everything at once. The first payment is charged at purchase.

New users pay eight installments of $30/mo, whether they buy the standalone package or add it to YouTube TV. Returning users pay $60/mo for the standalone version or $47.25/mo with YouTube TV.

The installments add up to the same season price shown in the tables above. They spread the cost without lowering it. YouTube describes the payments as non-cancelable, so once you choose the plan you owe all eight even if you stop watching partway through the season.

• New subscriber with no live TV service: the standalone package at $240 is the simplest choice. The YouTube TV option costs the same for you, but only makes sense if you also want YouTube TV for local channels and cable networks.
• Returning subscriber who already has YouTube TV: adding Sunday Ticket to your plan at $378 costs less than buying the standalone package.
• Returning subscriber who does not want YouTube TV: the standalone package at $480 avoids a second monthly bill, but it is the most expensive single option on this page.
• Anyone who wants to spread the cost: the eight-payment plan spreads the cost. Remember that you cannot cancel the remaining payments.

Sunday Ticket covers out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. Games broadcast locally in your area on CBS or FOX are not part of the package, because you can watch them on those stations. Prime-time national games on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nights air on other networks and streaming services, so you need a separate way to watch them.

YouTube may also sell other NFL add-ons alongside Sunday Ticket. Those are priced separately and are not covered by our data, so check the official page for current options.

Sales tax may be added depending on your state. YouTube has offered student pricing and limited-time promotional pricing in past seasons, but we have no verified figures for those offers this season. If you are a student or see a promotion advertised, check the terms on YouTube's official Sunday Ticket page before buying.
