Is your body ready? NFL Sunday Ticket finally expands to other platforms after 20 year wait.
In August of 1994, the NFL partnered with DirecTV to launch its out-of-market sports package, for the hardcore audience of its brand. Regional coverage has been limited to only FOX and CBS, but now games will air three times a week beginning this season.
CBS and NFL Network is expected to air Thursday games giving fans more action than ever, which has even been questioned by many as over-saturation.
The popular subscription-based service, NFL Sunday Ticket will finally be coming to streaming devices this September, after DirecTV revealed earlier today an official Sunday Ticket app will be releasing for smartphones, gaming consoles computers.
Starting at $199, users will be able to stream on Android, iOS, Apple Mac and Windows computers; while Xbox One and PlayStation streaming will run for$233.99. At $329.99, you can combine all services, as well as access to Red Zone (our pick for best solo package) and Fantasy Zone channels for users. If you remember last May, AT&T made the acquisition of DirecTV for a whopping $50 Billion. One of the biggest questions that still remain is whether the NFL and AT&T will re-up for exclusivity rights after their current deal expires this January.
