The Super Bowl is about to conclude the 2022–23 NFL season, and it will be a while before the next one. That also implies that it will be a while before NFL Sunday Ticket moves to YouTube, which is owned by Google, and YouTube TV.
However, we are already learning a few more specifics about the NFL Sunday
Ticket's future, which up until this year had only been available on DirecTV.
The transition may not be without its own complications. The YouTube TV streaming service, which has more than 5 million customers right now, will offer NFL Sunday Ticket.

Alternatively, you may obtain it on YouTube Primetime Channels, which is a method to access premium content directly through YouTube. Additionally, you may continue to subscribe individually to NFL RedZone on YouTube TV (which is essentially a live feed of scoring highlights as they occur).
The price of
NFL Sunday Ticket under this new system is not yet known. It has always been sold at a premium price because the broadcast networks that telecast in-market games required it, and that is very likely to be the case in 2023.
Although there aren't many official information available for either subscription option, it appears that YouTube Primetime Channels may offer several capabilities that YouTube TV does not. Philipp Schindler, senior vice president and chief business officer for Google, mentioned several normal YouTube features in addition to the NFL game itself in response to a query on the
fourth-quarter 2022 earnings call for YouTube's parent firm, Alphabet (which is essentially also Google).
According to Schindler, "We will be adding new elements tailored to the Sunday Ticket experience, like comments, conversations, polls, and so on."

That seems remarkably similar to the community tab on a normal YouTube channel right now. Therefore, it may simply be a transition over to NFL Sunday Ticket, it may just be an executive touting current features, or we may see something specifically designed for
the NFL Sunday Ticket experience.
