The NFL Sunday Ticket, which has been exclusive to DirecTV for the better part of two decades, offers extreme football fans, fantasy football players and sports betters access to all games aired on local CBS and Fox stations. Typically, games that are offered in a particular region involve teams that are local or pseudo-local, or games where the outcome could have implications on the standing or the playoff chances of a local team. The reason likely has to do with how the NFL games are distributes across broadcast television: Currently, CBS and Fox holds the national distribution rights to NFL games played on Sunday, except for a prime-time, national evening game that airs on NBC.īoth CBS and Fox broadcast multiple games at one time, and offer a selection of games to viewers depending on where they live. “There’s nothing specific about that in this deal,” Mohan said when asked if Google would be streaming the games in 4K. One thing NFL Sunday Ticket probably won’t bring to YouTube’s streaming platforms next year: Broadcasts in ultra-high definition (4K).ĭuring a recent interview with tech publication The Verge, YouTube’s Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan said Google’s multi-year deal with the National Football League doesn’t include a requirement that YouTube or YouTube TV offer the out-of-market Sunday afternoon games in a higher resolution than what is provided by the networks. Google’s big rights grab for the NFL Sunday Ticket will usher in a lot of new features for football fans, including remixed content of game day footage via YouTube Shorts and a multi-screen tool called “Mosaic Mode” that YouTube TV subscribers have been craving for some time.
