Why the new NFL+ will give football fans a better deal than YouTube TV’s NFL Sunday Ticket

NFL+ is offering an amazing deal at a very awkward time for YouTube TV.

On Thursday, NFL media revealed that the league will expand its own direct-to-consumer subscription service, NFL+.

Now in the second year of the service, at its premium price, NFL+ will include live streams of NFL Network and the very popular NFL RedZone — which cuts to any game when a team is on the verge of scoring a touchdown. It’s a shocking addition that comes on the heels of NFL Sunday Ticket becoming an exorbitantly expensive part of YouTube TV.

I don’t understand the logic of the league seemingly undercutting one of its main broadcast partners, but I can’t say I mind as a passionate football fan looking for quality feeds to watch games!

Available on all TV, PC, phone, and tablet devices in the United States, let’s explain what you get with NFL+, NFL+ Premium, and NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Oh, by the way: Anyone who buys now gets a 20 percent discount on the annual price for both versions of the service.

(Spoiler alert, but this already looks like a fantastic deal.)

NFL+ adds NFL Network, RedZone to streaming service

The NFL announced the addition of NFL Network and NFL RedZone to its streaming service on Thursday.

If you don’t have NFL Network to watch the Minnesota Vikings take on the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, you are in luck. The league announced on Thursday that NFL Network and NFL Red Zone will be added to their NFL Plus subscription package.

There will be two tiers. The first tier is $6.99/month and includes the following.

  • Live local and primetime regular and postseason game (phone and tablet only)
  • NFL Network
  • Live out-of-market preseason games
  • Live game audio
  • NFL Films’ and more on-demand content-all ad free

For $14.99/month, you get all of that and more.

  • NFL RedZone
  • Full, condensed and all-22 coach film replays, all ad-free

If you live outside of Minnesota, this is the perfect way to see the Vikings play in the preseason.
