REMINDER: There’s only one place to get NFL Sunday Ticket

Chances are, you’ve heard a lot of talk about NFL Sunday Ticket this year. The league’s contract with DIRECTV expires at the end of the upcoming season, and there’s a lot of anticipation. We all expect that there will be some sort of streaming option, and smart money is on a player like Apple, Amazon or Google to be the one providing it. They have the cash to outbid DIRECTV without even breaking a sweat.

That’s a problem for tomorrow

With all the chatter, you’d think this was a problem for this season. It isn’t. There’s no change to the NFL Sunday Ticket plans for this year. This year, just like every year in the past, it’s DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket, and let’s be clear this is the only place you’re going to get it.

If you’re a football fan you’re going to want DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket. It’s every game, every Sunday, no exceptions. Periods. There are no blackouts, no problems, no nothing. Just pure football. Watch at home, in your favorite bar, or anywhere.

That’s right, the NFL Sunday Ticket packages all include streaming too. You can take the game with you when you can’t be at home. Pricing is reasonable for what you get and you can even upgrade to the Max package and get the Fantasy Zone and Red Zone channels so you don’t miss a minute of anything that’s going on.

There’s no other provider who will give you every game, although many try to tell you otherwise. Just getting the Red Zone channel isn’t enough for the real die-hard fan and even though local games are usually carried on CBS or FOX, not everyone roots for the home team, right? Displaced fans are everywhere so it’s not going to do you a lot of good to watch Packers games if you’re a Rams fan. Displaced fans and super fans have loved NFL Sunday Ticket for years, and let me say it again: There’s only one place to get it, and that’s DIRECTV.

Predictions for the coming years?

Heck, I don’t know. But if I had to guess, yeah I would expect that you’ll be able to buy NFL Sunday Ticket as a streaming-only package in the coming years. Don’t expect it to be any less expensive than getting it through DIRECTV, though, and that means satellite TV is still a better value. Again, I’m just guessing here, but I expect DIRECTV to still retain the exclusive rights to offer the package to commercial customers. That means if you have a bar, you want DIRECTV. Businesses won’t be able to legally stream. And, if you own a business, you probably know that you don’t have that stable bandwidth anyway.

In the meantime, don’t be confused by the fuss. Get DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket by ordering from us at 888-233-7563. If you prefer self-service, visit us here or order using your AT&T or DIRECTV login wherever you usually view your bill.

Just remember… next year may be different. That’s true. But right now there’s only one place to get DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket, and that’s DIRECTV.
