A class-action lawsuit against the NFL regarding its 'Sunday Ticket' package of out-of-market games is currently underway in federal court in Los Angeles. Subscribers allege that the league violated antitrust laws by selling the package at inflated prices and restricting competition by offering it exclusively through a satellite provider.
The lawsuit, initially filed in 2015 by a sports bar in San Francisco, has evolved to include over 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses that purchased 'Sunday Ticket' between June 2011 and February 2023. The case was reinstated by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals after being dismissed by a district court judge.
