FAQ’s On the NFL Sunday Ticket

The National Football League season will begin soon, and that means a financial decision is in order for many hardcore fans. No I’m not referring to those who buy season tickets for the home team. This is the time of year that many have to figure out whether the Sunday Ticket offer is in their budget. Lets take a look at a few of the frequently asked questions about this popular package.

Is the NFL Sunday Ticket available on Comcast or Time Warner cable?

No. This package remains an exclusive of Direct TV. In fact, the contract to carry the NFL package has been renewed by the NFL and Direct TV, meaning you will only get full access on satellite TV through the year 2014. There is some hope that the Red Zone channel may be available to cable television companies and Dish Network, but it won’t be happening in the 2009 season.

How much is the Sunday Ticket going to cost this year?

At this time, early bird sign ups can get the NFL bundle for 9.95, or five payments of $55.99. The regular price is expected to be $300 for the full season.

Are all of the games going to be in high definition?

Only if you subscribe to the Superfan package plus the Sunday Ticket. Superfan is 0, or five payments on your DIRECTV bill. It will provide HD access, as well as the Red Zone channel and SuperCast access which will allow you to stream the games to your desktop computer or cell phone.

Exactly what games are available?

TheĀ NFL package will show you all of the games that are not on regular network or cable TV. This means all of the early and late games each Sunday. The Monday Night Football game and the Sunday evening games will continue to be on ESPN and NBC respectively.

So is the Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket bundle in your budget this year? With costs nearing almost 0 for full access, it certainly is a decision that you shouldn’t rush to make.
