There are steps you can do to avoid paying for Sunday Ticket if you use YouTube TV.

I have to feel like YouTube is going control that - they certainly have the ability to control it and they paid $2 BILLION for Sunday Ticket. If getting around it is as simple as a few instructions on google and a VPN, it's going to be a significant drag on their investment return.

I’ve been a YoutubeTV subscriber for awhile now, I definitely prefer it over the longer terms and yearly renegotiation with the normal providers when the teaser rates expire.

I’ve been an antenna only user until Covid. Netflix and HBOMax often go unwatched for 1-2 months per year. Cable/YouTube would be a waste for me.

The pricing is $21/regular season game for non-subscribers with early access. I’ll stream most games and catch a few at one of the DC area bars for Saints fans.

I dont think works with vpn as they block it.

They may change it in time but the other streaming services like direct tv stream, hulu live and fubo tv would also have to change. Also works on cbs.com. Used to work on fox.com but they changed it 2 seasons ago. They have to allow people to travel with their service so must be why they've stuck with using geolocation to determine location.

Yeah, I think the way to do it involves spoofing a geolocation with an app. I just think that given their investment on this particular package, they're probably going to enhance their detection of unusual location activity.

On an android device that's how is done but on a pc is easier than that in the developer tools section of a browser. If youtube tv changes then could always go to one of the streaming services for it being they havent made the same investment with the nfl?

Yes, I suppose that's true. All you need is a sub on a service that lets you access the local network affiliates.

Yep. The gif needs to include the orangutan as well.

A quick internet search doesn't show a Sunday Ticket student option either.

YouTube customer support twitter suggests that student pricing information may be available in the future:

the NFL really needs to consider (I know they don't care) having a way for actual SEASON TICKET HOLDERS to get a discounted Sunday Ticket Plan. I miss half the games every year because of travel, but it sure would be nice to see the games on the Sunday Ticket. I might need to get an eyepatch, even though I don't wanna to be a pirate.

I have to think that Google’s ability to prevent pirating is going to be better than DirectTV or the old broadcast networks.

I think the biggest issue there is that they’re completely separate lines of business through different entities. Stadium season tickets are managed through the teams as a revenue item for the individual franchise - and the Ticket is through the League’s broadcast partners office. I don’t think the league itself has any activity at all associated with season tickets.

I’d buy this for $200-$250. At $349, I will figure out another solution. It’s also cheaper to go to a bar for lunch (not a drinker) than have home service.

All season long not cheaper

The thing about this is that the NFL doesn’t really need to care about pirated streams - it sells the broadcast package to the networks and that’s their problem.

I suppose that eventually it becomes a shared problem but as long as the networks are competing to throw huge piles of money at the NFL, it’s not really the league’s problem if people are pirating.
