NFL Sunday Ticket: How It Works
NFL Sunday Ticket is the way to watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. This page explains what it covers, what it does not, and who it is for.
What Is NFL Sunday Ticket?
NFL Sunday Ticket is a package on YouTube that lets fans watch Sunday afternoon regular-season games that are not shown on their local CBS or FOX station. Local stations show different games in different regions, so Sunday Ticket fills the gap for fans who live away from their favorite team.
What Games Does Sunday Ticket Include?
- Included: Out-of-market Sunday afternoon regular-season games on CBS and FOX.
- Not included: National primetime games, such as Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, and Monday Night Football.
- Not included: Local games shown in your area, which air on your local CBS or FOX station.
- Not included: Games on NFL Network or Netflix.
Who Needs Sunday Ticket?
Sunday Ticket is for fans who want to watch a team that is not shown on their local CBS or FOX station on Sunday afternoons. If your team is shown locally, you do not need it. Check the schedule for each game's channel before you subscribe.
Other Ways to Watch the NFL
Primetime games air on Prime Video, NBC and Peacock, and ABC and ESPN. See the where to watch page for the full list of channels and streaming services.
