The 2024-25 NFL season kicks off Thursday night with the Baltimore Ravens traveling to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
The game will air on NBC, so fans with a basic cable plan will be able to watch it, however if you are looking to watch out-of-market games throughout the NFL season, NFL Sunday Ticket is your best bet.
NFL Sunday Ticket is a sports broadcast package that shows all out-of-market regular season Sunday NFL games not available on your local NBC, CBS or FOX affiliates. The service is offered exclusively through YouTube TV.
Since launching in 1984, the package had previously been delivered by satellite service DirecTV. Google, which owns YouTube and the YouTube TV live streaming service, won the rights to the package in December 2022 by outbidding Amazon and ESPN and paying about $2 billion annually over seven years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Here's what to know about the prices for each type of Sunday Ticket package, plus a few discounts to help you save this football season.

"This year, you’ll see an even more personalized gameday experience for each and every fan," the blog says. "We’re excited to share the latest of many features coming your way this fall."
Additionally, YouTube has improved the multiview feature by allowing subscribers to build any available combination of two, three, or four NFL Sunday Ticket games, according to the blog.
YouTube TV Base Plan members will also have the option to find their desired multiview streams with their local NFL games through select stations.
