NFL Sunday Ticket is an off-market sports package that broadcast regular season games National Football League (NFL) is not available in local affiliates. It carries all the regional Sunday afternoon games produced by Fox and CBS. Ideal customers of this package are considered (based on ads) to become fans of teams who can not see their teams on local television because they do not live in one of the team's markets, or sports bars that want to improve their business by attracting fans from out-of-town teams. This package is distributed in the United States exclusively by AT & amp; T Inc. under the DirecTV unit (which also offers it on the Internet, on certain tablets and smartphones, and JetBlue Airways flights); in Canada on the DAZN streaming service, in Mexico and Latin America at SKY MÃÆ' Â © xico, in South America and the Caribbean in DirecTV Latin America, and several cable providers in The Bahamas and Bermuda.

United States
DirecTV satellite TV providers have exclusive rights to the NFL Sunday Ticket package in the United States until the end of the 2022-23 NFL season. Although other satellite and cable providers are said to have been allowed to bid for the right to bring the NFL Sunday Ticket if they agreed to bring the NFL Network, DirecTV decided to extend their current contract beyond 2014 by paying NFL $ 1.5 billion per year over the next eight years.. Reaching the deal was also the condition of acquisition of AT & amp; T 2015 from DirecTV In the 2015 season, this service is now available through online subscriptions only for those who can not use DirecTV services.
NFL Sunday Ticket viewers do not count towards the local Nielsen ratings; so offering an NFL Sunday Ticket on cable may cost CBS and Fox million dollar affiliates in lost revenue from local commercial breaks (compared to national advertising sold by the network). In turn, affiliates help to subsidize the cost of network programming. Since the launch of the new satellite, DirecTV no longer drops other HD feeds to broadcast NFL Sunday Ticket games in HD. DirecTV offers a free preview of NFL Sunday Ticket for the first week of the season.
Dark
Until the end of the 2014 season, if a match the audience wants to watch is blacked out in their home market because it is not sold out, the game remains dark on the NFL Sunday Ticket. Other games that are broadcast locally are also blacked out (viewers should watch them not in their local Fox or CBS affiliates). Games that are merged or diverted from within the process usually experience a blackout status changed immediately. The NFL suspends local power outage policies for the 2015 NFL regular season.

History
The NFL Sunday Ticket concept was largely invented by Jon Taffer during his three-year tenure on the NFL Enterprises board, along with NFL Chief of Marketing Michael Miller. The NFL Sunday Ticket was launched in 1994 and is available on DirecTV (newly launched a few months earlier) and in band C band and K u bands, where the receiver plates are larger in size. Within a few years, this service is available in various cable systems in Canada as well.
International distribution
NFL Sunday Ticket is also available in Mexico, Latin America, Bermuda, Bahamas and Canada (for business customers only).
Canada
The NFL Sunday Ticket was previously available in Canada through most major pay-TV providers, often in one bundle with other sports packages. In July 2017 it was announced that the DAZN streaming service has secured rights to an NFL off-market package beginning in the 2017 NFL season. Games previously available through the service, as well as NFL Game Pass, are bundled with service providers in Canada.
However, after the Canadian DAZN launch was filled with frequent technical problems and user criticism, DAZN announced that it has begun offering NFL Sunday Tickets to television providers as an alternative to over-the-top products.
