NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube: prices, student discount and trial details for 2025

NFL Sunday Ticket — the service that lets viewers watch every out-of-market Sunday game — is available only through YouTube and YouTube TV in 2025, and comes with multiple purchase options, a student discount and limited third-party promotions but no official free trial.

YouTube is offering two principal ways to buy Sunday Ticket: as a standalone product or bundled with a YouTube TV subscription. Pricing varies by plan and by whether the buyer is a new or returning Sunday Ticket customer. New subscribers can obtain Sunday Ticket at an eight-month rate that totals $276 (equivalent to $34.50 per month). Returning subscribers face a higher eight-month rate that totals $378 (about $47.25 per month). YouTube also offers month-to-month options at a higher monthly price for customers who prefer to cancel anytime.

The YouTube TV bundle includes access to the YouTube TV base plan plus Sunday Ticket. Promotional pricing has been available for the bundle, including an introductory YouTube TV rate of $49.99 for the first three months, followed by a regular YouTube TV price that has been represented at about $82.99 per month after the promotional period. If a customer cancels YouTube TV while subscribed to a bundled plan, they will lose Sunday Ticket access tied to that subscription.

Students who qualify can buy Sunday Ticket for a reduced price of $119. Subscribers also can add NFL RedZone to their Sunday Ticket purchase for an additional $10. There is no official free trial for Sunday Ticket; however, some third-party promotions have been available. For example, DraftKings has offered up to $200 off Sunday Ticket for new customers in select areas.

Sunday Ticket remains the primary option for watching out-of-market NFL games on Sundays. Other NFL telecasts are split across multiple platforms: Thursday Night Football primarily streams on Prime Video (with exceptions for the season opener), Sunday Night Football airs on NBC and Peacock, Monday Night Football is carried by ESPN and ABC, and local Sunday telecasts appear on FOX and CBS. The league and broadcasters also distribute nationally televised and specialty content through services such as NFL+, Paramount+, Netflix, NFL Network and RedZone, but those services do not replace Sunday Ticket for out-of-market full-game coverage.

To purchase Sunday Ticket, customers can buy the standalone product through YouTube without a YouTube TV subscription, or subscribe to the YouTube TV bundle for combined access. The specific checkout flows and eligibility for promotional pricing or student discounts are managed through YouTube’s sign-up process and require account verification where applicable.

The availability of multiple price points and promotions reflects YouTube’s effort to serve different viewer preferences: a lower locked eight-month price for some users, higher month-to-month flexibility for others, a deep student discount and occasional third-party incentives for new customers. Consumers should review the terms on YouTube’s product pages before purchasing to confirm current prices, any geographic restrictions on promotional offers and the effects of canceling subscriptions tied to bundles.

As streaming distribution for the NFL continues to expand across technology platforms, Sunday Ticket’s exclusivity on YouTube and YouTube TV makes it the central option for fans who want every out-of-market Sunday game in 2025. Buyers who prioritize uninterrupted access for the full season should confirm whether their chosen plan is standalone or linked to an active YouTube TV subscription to avoid unexpected loss of access.
