How to Get NFL Sunday Ticket Without DirecTV

Getting a Sunday ticket without DirecTV (or a discount if you’re a college student) is explained in this article, along with alternative ways to stream football.

How to Get NFL Sunday Ticket Without DirecTV

The bad news: The NFL Sunday Ticket is exclusive to DirecTV, which is why you used to need a satellite dish and subscription to get it.

Streaming Sunday Ticket over the internet is possible now, but you’ll only be able to get it if you have DirecTV satellite service in your area.

Sorry cord cutters!

The good news: NFLST.TV lets you stream Sunday Ticket if you live in the following areas:

An area where there’s no DirecTV satellite service, or
An apartment building, condo, or other multi-unit building.

- You’ll need a DirecTV satellite to watch NFL Sunday Ticket if you aren’t eligible.
