  • NFL Sunday Ticket: Everything You Need to Know

    Football fans, your wait is almost over. Preseason football has begun and with the NFL season right around the corner, it’s time to start exploring your options for catching all the action from the comfort of your home. In this post, we are going to dive into NFL Sunday Ticket, the ultimate gameday viewing experience for fans looking to catch out of market games.

    What is NFL Sunday Ticket?

    NFL Sunday Ticket is a sports package that broadcasts NFL regular season games. It is specifically tailored to broadcast out-of-market games, which are games that are not nationally televised or shown on the local CBS or Fox network broadcast. It’s popularity has skyrocketed over the years as more and more fans relocate across the country but keep their loyalty with their hometown teams.

    The service was first introduced in 1994 by DirectTV and beginning with the 2023 NFL season has been exclusively available to YouTubeTV subscribers. Learn more (YouTubeTV – NFL Sunday Ticket)

    Sunday Ticket Lawsuit and Controversy

    Sunday Ticket and the NFL’s media strategy, in general, have been controversial for years. Fans have often lamented that a single team package is an option that would be popular and cost less than the entire Sunday Ticket package. Fans generally are only interested in one team and would be willing to pay for that team’s entire out-of-market slate but the NFL, through Sunday Ticket, requires fans to purchase the games for the entire league, which carries a higher price tag.

    NFL Sunday Ticket is at the center of a class-action lawsuit that reached a verdict in late June 2024. A jury found that the NFL must pay almost $5 billion in damages to subscribers of the service after it was found that the NFL was artificially inflating the price of Sunday Ticket for years. By forcing subscribers to purchase the costly Sunday Ticket subscription rather than offer a more approachable single team subscription option, the argument has been made that the NFL is protecting its lucrative agreements with CBS and Fox. More subscribers to out-of-market games will lead to a downturn in viewing watching the local CBS and Fox broadcast games. The NFL is expected to appeal the verdict.

    Conclusion

    NFL Football is gearing up for its 2024 season and NFL Sunday Ticket is the best option to view out-of-market games and catch the most action. The service is a great option for fans that do not live near their teams. Changes may be coming to the service if the NFL does not prevail in its legal battle against a class action lawsuit.

    NFL Sunday Ticket can be purchased as a stand-alone subscription or bundled with a YouTubeTV subscription. If you want to learn more about YouTubeTV or other streaming options head over to StreamAtas to learn how you can clean up your streaming bundle.

  • StreamAtlas: Navigating Better Streaming

    Welcome! Thanks for visiting StreamAtlas, our little corner of the internet where we try to make sense of the world of streaming television and movies. Our mission is to provide clarity to the chaotic universe of entertainment streaming. Never had users had so much content at the other end of their remote. Our access to entertainment content was revolutionized with the advent of video on demand and streaming. As streaming became more popular, new platforms have been introduced by every major entertainment provider in the industry, all with the goal of attracting subscribers to access their catalog of shows and movies. At this point, the streaming industry has been siloed to a point where having a subscription to a single service is a rarity. Multiple services allow users to continue to have a choice and variety when choosing a show or movie to watch. With multiple services comes multiple bills and cost creep can become a major issue.

    We want to be your trusted guide through the world of streaming, helping users gain a clearer picture of what services are providing entertainment they want and what services are wasting their money.

    How We Started

    StreamAtlas was born out of a simple question: Am I getting ripped off? Our founders were riding the wave during the Streaming Wars as multiple platforms launched to challenge Netflix in the streaming industry. AppleTV+, Hulu, Disney+, YouTubeTV, you name it and they subscribed to it. Free Trials turned into monthly bills, prices were raised and before they knew it a significant amount of money was being spent every month on streaming television and movies. One question lingered in their minds: Are we actually watching all these platforms enough to justify the price or are we hanging on to subscriptions for the sake of choice and variety?

    StreamAtlas is our attempt at answering that question, not only for ourselves, but for all other users out there who would like to wrap their hands around their viewing habits and how that translates to subscriptions that are necessary and subscriptions that should be cancelled.

    What We Provide

    1) Streaming Comparison: First and foremost, StreamAtlas is where users can turn to in order to get a comprehensive view of their monthly expenses related to streaming television and movies. StreamAtlas will ask you to provide information on your current subscriptions to establish a baseline of which comparisons will be made.


    2) Personalized Recommendations: Subscribing to a service should, at the very least, provide you with content and entertainment that you are interested in. However, due to the constant comings and goings of shows and movies on streaming platforms, it is hard to keep track of how much entertainment your subscriptions are providing. StreamAtlas will provide you with a comprehensive database of channels, shows, and movies for you to choose your favorites, shows and movies on your must watch list as well as discover new content you have never heard of. These choices will help StreamAtlas determine whether your current subscriptions are providing you with the entertainment you want as well as recommend new services that might help lower your monthly bills.


    3) Industry Insights: StreamAtlas will keep you in the know about the streaming industry. Users of our website will receive consistent information about changes made by the streaming platforms to their services. In addition, StreamAtlas will provide insights into what services are doing well, what services are taking big swings, and what services have had big misses. The goal is to help users cut through the noise and fully understand where to devote their dollars to when choosing a streaming subscription.
