Good news for those of you who like to stream sports on your devices: Sunday NFL Ticket is coming to YouTube TV, as we learned last December.
The really, really bad news: It’ll cost you some serious money.
From USA TODAY Sports: After paying a reported $2 billion a year, YouTube TV will charge you two different prices.
If you’re a subscriber with the Base Plan, it’s $249 a season (they’re knocking $100 off the price in a presale), and you can bundle it with NFL RedZone for $389.
If you don’t want to subscribe fully to YouTube TV, it’s $449 in the presale, and the bundle is $489 before the season.
Fans had sticker shock:
And I thought DirecTV was a bit pricey… this is ridiculous. Guess I won’t have Sunday Ticket anymore. https://t.co/TGsjQ5fXy7

Me and my friends right now who all used our old college emails (or our spouse's) to get Sunday Ticket and RedZone last year. https://t.co/DLWi7LNOvc

The apparent solution to DirecTV price gouging fans for NFL Sunday Ticket is for YouTube to make it even more expensive.
This will do very little to curb illegal streaming. #YouTube #DirecTV #NFL #SundayTicket

I can't believe how far behind the @NFL is in both streaming and apps. At this point, I think they're knowingly and willfully being horrible because people will still pay for their product.
But for the love of god, give people a single-team Sunday Ticket option.

Are you ready for some very pricey football?!
NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV will cost $449 a season ($349, with early-bird discount) & $489 ($389 early) with RedZone.
If you're a YouTube TV subscriber, it's $349 a season ($249 before June 6) & $389 ($289 early) w/ RedZone.
