If anyone finds a reasonable cost for the NFL season, pls post. I'm using Roku, and streaming DirecTV. Looks like prices have gone up...again.

    NFL Sunday Ticket I think it's called?

    $169 for the Season but you only get big plays not the entire game

    NFL Net is what I have...

    What a rip off. Remember the old days when you got them for free. You could watch football all day long.

    if i didn't gamble on these games, my interest in the NFL would mirror that of MLB. i used to be an enormous baseball fan back in the day, and now i'd have a hard time naming 10 players in the entire league. strikes & steroids repelled me to the point of not caring one iota.

    the commercialization of the NFL is having a similar effect. all of these packages & streaming services you're required to sign up for just to watch an effing game shoves me to the brink of not watching altogether. it is so off-putting. add to that the lack of parity and my interest is at its lowest point since i've been alive. i'm supposed to regularly open my wallet to watch games in a league where over 80% of the teams have absolutely no chance of winning the championship before the season ever starts? with rigged inconsistent officiating and rules changes that render the sport virtually unrecognizable to boot?

    **** you, NFL.

    think back to when you were a kid. think about your love for the NFL at the time. compare it to now, with all of the disgusting variables involved. there is NO comparison for me personally.

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    I completely lost interest in the NFL once Brady retired. If there is a free game on I usually watch it but have really no interest in who wins or loses.

    Couldn’t live without the NFL package at any cost. $400 or whatever it is to watch the Bills all year and swap in between commercials to see 4 games at once. Priceless. Remember we go 7 months without football and cram all you can.
    400 into 18 = $22.00 for a Sunday full of football. It’s one large pizza or 2 Starbucks

    I used to feel that way when Brady was playing but since he retired I have not watched much football. I will watch an occasional game when it is on free TV but have no team that interests me enough to pay that kind of money to see. I can understand why others feel otherwise as I feel the same about the Red Sox!

    I'm not sure of the details because I'm a T-Mobile subscriber, but it's my understanding that Verizon offers their customers a yearly subscription to the NFL Sunday Ticket package for free. If you're a Verizon subscriber and want to watch the NFL this year, you should make a point to investigate your benefits before the season starts.

    T-Mobile offers free MLB.TV to their subscribers, which I utilize yearly, but you only have a limited widow in which to activate the offer, usually within the 7 day period prior to the first game.

    WOW this is a big deal thanks for posting this

    I might be eligible for this I reached out to Verizon for it

  • tommyrusty7tommyrusty7 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭✭

    I thought you had to be a subscriber to direct tv to get the MLB package! I definitely want to dump direct tv this year after the baseball season is over and will be looking for ways to watch the Red Sox next year.

    I'm curious what you find out. Like I said, I'm not a Verizon customer, but any info that you have to share will help the many people that are.

    Even though I love my free MLB.TV from T-Mobile, perhaps I could be persuaded to switch to Verizon for the free NFL and just pay for MLB.TV next year out of pocket! Lol

    For several years now, I've posted on the message boards during the 7 day sign-up period to remind T-Mobile customers to accept their free MLB.TV package. T-Mobile usually starts promoting it a couple of weeks ahead of time, and then the offer usually goes live approximately 7 days before Opening Day. You have to create an MLB account if you don't have one already, and then follow T-Mobile's instructions to register within that 7 day period to accept the offer, but it's all super easy.

    In 2025, I believe a paid subscription for an entire year of MLB.TV was only $149.99. I would definitely purchase a subscription if it wasn't already free for me.

    Unfortunately this promotion came after I got the new line so I'm not eligible but thanks @countdougIas for mentioning it

    Based on that link that I just posted, it does appear that ALL Verizon customers are still eligible to receive $200 off. That may not be enough of an enticement, but it's not nothing for those that were going to purchase the package, anyway.

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,827 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The free NFL ticket with VZ is a promotional offer for a new purchase order. After the first year, it renews at the regular rate. They may have HDNO retention offers available for existing customers though if you ask for it specifically as an existing customer. At least we did before I retired after 30 years with them.

    I'll defer to you then on the Verizon perks.

    T-Mobile includes free membership into their T-Life promotions, and every Tuesday they post new things for you to redeem. MLB.TV is one of the perks that is free every year. I've gotten free magazine subscriptions. Free food at local restaurants and fast food places. Gas discounts. My rental car and hotel for the 2023 National was 30% off... and much, much more. I am in no way affiliated with either company, but T-Mobile sure sounds like the better deal, to me.
