The NFL season is just around the corner, and for fans of Directv`s NFL Sunday Ticket, there is some important news regarding the contract that allows subscribers to watch out-of-market games.
The current contract between the NFL and Directv is set to expire at the end of the 2022 season. This means that after next year`s Super Bowl, the future of NFL Sunday Ticket on Directv is uncertain.
There has been speculation that the NFL may choose to partner with other streaming services, such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, to bring Sunday Ticket to a wider audience. It`s also possible that the NFL may decide to bring Sunday Ticket exclusively in-house and make it available through their own streaming service.
Another possibility is that Directv may choose to renew their contract with the NFL. However, Directv`s parent company, AT&T, has faced financial issues in recent years, and may not be willing or able to continue paying the exorbitant fees that come with broadcasting NFL games.
Regardless of what happens to Directv`s NFL Sunday Ticket, fans of out-of-market games will still have options to watch their favorite teams. Services such as NFL Game Pass and Sling TV offer alternative ways to watch NFL games online.
For now, Directv`s NFL Sunday Ticket will still be available for the 2021 season. But come 2023, things may look very different. Fans will want to keep an eye on the news to see where their Sunday Ticket viewing options will end up.
