I wasn't even sure Sunday Ticket would be relevant anymore thanks to NFL+ but the NFL isn't stupid. They'll use every avenue they can to make money. At this point I'm not sure which service I would go with if I had to choose. The one that guarantees I can watch every Jags game would be the one.

The National Football League today announced a multi-year agreement with Google granting YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels the right to exclusively distribute NFL Sunday Ticket to consumers in the United States starting with the 2023 NFL season. This strategic partnership will provide fans greater access to NFL Sunday Ticket while tapping into the best of YouTube's technology and product innovation.

"We're excited to bring NFL Sunday Ticket to YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels and usher in a new era of how fans across the United States watch and follow the NFL," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "For a number of years we have been focused on increased digital distribution of our games and this partnership is yet another example of us looking towards the future and building the next generation of NFL fans."

So it looks like games broadcast on any channel other than the following won't be available. That's BS. They won't be getting my money.

Consisting of all out-of-market Sunday regular-season NFL games (based on viewer's location) broadcast on FOX and CBS, NFL Sunday Ticket allows fans in the United States the ability to follow all their favorite teams and players no matter where they live. Updated NFL Sunday Ticket product features and functionality will be announced ahead of the 2023 NFL season.

NFL+ doesn't show live games. Just replays.

I have NFL+, and it's the worst piece of software I've ever seen. Most of the time, I can't even sign in. I've given up on it.

I'm very glad NFL Sunday Ticket is going to Youtube TV. I've had Youtube TV, and it's a nice program that works very well. I don't ever want to deal with DirecTV again.

As far as "only" getting games broadcast on FOX and CBS, what other games are there that aren't nationally televised? I don't understand your objection there.
