How to Get NFL Sunday Ticket Without DirecTV

This article explains how to get Sunday ticket without DirecTV (or get a discount if you're a college student) and shows you how to get your football fix via alternative streaming methods.

How to Watch NFL Sunday Ticket Without DirecTV 

The bad news: NFL Sunday Ticket is exclusive to DirecTV, which is why you used to need a subscription and satellite dish to get it in the past. These days, though, you may be able to stream it over the internet, but there's a big catch: If you're able to get DirecTV satellite service in your area, that's the only way to get Sunday Ticket. Sorry cord cutters!

The good news: You're eligible to stream Sunday Ticket via NFLST.TV if you live in:

• An area where there's no DirecTV satellite service, or
• An apartment building, condo, or other multi-unit building.

To find out if you're eligible to get Sunday Ticket without DirecTV and, if you are, to sign up, follow these steps:

1. Check your eligibility with DirecTV by entering your address.

   • If you're not eligible, you can't stream NFL Sunday Ticket and will need to get a DirecTV satellite to watch it.
   • If you are eligible, you'll need to select which subscription you prefer.

   Your choices are:

   • NFLST.TV To Go: US$293.96/year to stream out-of-market Sunday games on one device.
   • NFLST.TV Max: $395.99/year to stream out-of-market Sunday games on one device, plus the Red Zone and Fantasy Zone channels.

2. Choose the plan you want to subscribe to, create your account, enter your payment information, and follow any other onscreen instructions.

3. Once your account is set up and your subscription is valid, download the Sunday Ticket on the device you want to watch on (you can also watch via your web browser).

4. In your browser or the app, log into your account and, when Sunday comes around, watch games.

How to Get Sunday Ticket U for Students

If you're a college student, there's a special package for you: NFL Sunday Ticket U. At a discounted price of $99.99/year, you can stream out-of-market Sunday games on one device.

The instructions in the previous section apply to college students, too, except for where you go to check eligibility and to set up your account. Here's where to go if you're a college student looking to sign up for NFL Sunday Ticket U.

Skip Sunday Ticket in Favor of a Live Streaming Service

Streaming services that offer live television, like Hulu + Live TV, offer almost all of the Sunday NFL games via standard television channels. A service like this is often much cheaper than DirecTV.

You can stream the following football programs on your computer, phone, or streaming device via a television, too.

• Sunday Night Football
• Monday Night Football
• Thursday Night Football
• College Football
