So if you have Youtube's Sunday Ticket after having paid

ConsistentGiantFan : 5/14/2023 12:18 pm
hundreds of dollars you still can't see the 49ers vs the Giants on Thursday Night Football without signing up with Amazon.

This seems like an invitation for tons of abuse of Amazon Prime's trial subscription period and a huge hassle for Giant and 49er football fans.
its not any different than taking free trials on other streaming sites

Sunday Ticket  
ElitoCanton : 5/14/2023 2:07 pm : link
has always been just for Sunday afternoon games. Why the complaint now. Nothing new.
I was going to switch to YouTube

It’s called Sunday Ticket  
UConn4523 : 5/14/2023 2:49 pm : link
not the Thursday Ticket. I don’t know anyone without Prime, it’s basically free games for most households (over 100m US a subscribers).
I don't understand what you are confused about  
moespree : 5/14/2023 2:59 pm : link
This isn't the first year of TNF on Amazon. And the Amazon games had nothing to do with the Ticket when it was on Directv had have nothing to do with not on YoutubeTV.

So what's the confusion?
What I'm struggling with is  
Gman11 : 5/14/2023 3:18 pm : link
they have 5 nationally televised games. If they have a good season there will be one or two 4:25 games that will cover most of the country. Then, you might have a game flexed at the end of the season.

I'm not sure I want to pay all that to watch 10 games. I could go to the local bar, get a burger and a couple of beers for about $20. Or, I can try to get the illegal streams.

I don't know. I think the Giants will have a good season. I don't want to miss anything, but it's a bit expensive and time is running out to get the $100 discount.
Can someone explain how to do the VPN and Intl package

I've never done it. Tried to use a VPN once out of the country and DTV Sunday Ticket wouldn't work.

Bills Chargers only airing on Peacock

NFL schedule: #Bills vs. #Chargers will be a Saturday afternoon game in Week 16 and it's going to be exclusively on Peacock, per @AlbertBreer
. Their first-ever exclusive game.

NFL Network will have the Sunday Night game in Week 16 (not NBC) with Peacock on Saturday.

It's only going to happen more often with the money involved.

Not to point the obvious out to you...but it is called the SUNDAY ticket.

Primetime games have never been included.

It’s only a matter of time before the NFL starts dangling one off games to other streaming platforms. I expect they’ll bundle up all the international games and try to sell those to a tech player.

lol where do you live where you can get a burger and a couple of beers for $20?

When I was trying to go without Sunday ticket, I realized I was spending about $50-60 easy every week to sit at a bar and bring food home for my girlfriend. The $300 is a pittance compared to what I would have spent over a full season.

20 bucks at a bar? You're either a horrible tipper and cheap or referencing prices from 1999.
A burger and 2 beers over the course of 3 hours  
UConn4523 : 5/14/2023 7:00 pm : link
is you being very cheap and taking up a bar seat. And in any large metro area that would run you $25-$30 before tip so you are closer to $40 than $20.

If you want premium content, pay for it. Not sure why people think it’ll come free or even at a discount. The NFL, Google, etc isn’t a charity.

Step 1, download a VPN like Private Internet Access
Step 2, on game day when the Giants are not on national TV or if you just want to watch out of market games, log in to Private Internet Access and set your VPN location to somewhere in Europe
Step 3, go to nfl.com (and you should see .eu at the end (so www.nfl.com/eu), if you do not add the /eu and you are at NFL.com Europe edition

Step 4, buy the week's games "on demand" for whatever the price. I think it was $22 or something like that for all the weekly games. I believe you get two weeks of games out of it if you log in the next week you should still have access since it's 7 full days of games.

Step 5, watch whatever game you want

Has anyone used NFL + with a FireStick?

So you have to use a laptop and then cast it to a tv?
Should have mentioned  
pjcas18 : 5/14/2023 7:11 pm : link
you need to pay for Private Internet Access.

Last time I used it, it was $6 per month or something like that if you pay month to month like I did.

To each his own but it’s entertainment, why be opposed to paying for something you enjoy? Have you ever paid to see a movie, or only wait until they are on television?

I don’t know if you miss any of the games by refusing but personally since I moved out of the area if I didn’t pay to watch my teams I’d miss most of the games so while of course I’d prefer not to have to I don’t mind paying. It’s something I enjoy that I value.

I'm in NC and the place I would go to has beer specials for like $3 a can. Burgers are $12-$13. My wife doesn't watch football so I go alone. Yes, $20 is about all I'd spend unless I was really, really hungry.
When you move out of the metro area, there are 2 ways to reliably watc  
Spider56 : 5/15/2023 7:32 am : link
the Giants; at a bar or via Sunday ticket. For years, I did the bar thing and in relatively low cost Raleigh spent about $750 a year covering me and my son. For the past 2 years we did the $300 direct tv thing. This year it’s $249 as we already have youtube tv. You could argue that 1/2 of the games will probably be televised locally here but it’s an added benefit to also be able to watch the hated teams like the Jests, Girls, Iggles and Skins.

Thank you.


You can subscribe per year. The price depends somewhat on what "country" you are from - where you connect through the VPN. I pay $100 for the full season. Plus you can stream any game from certain amount of previous seasons.

It's not available for US, Canada, China, Russia, a few other spots. Brazil works well for me. Though once you do sign up and get an account, you can then sign *in* from any supported country, doesn't have to be the same one where you signed up from.

Since you have to pay with your actual payment method, I did use my own email address. But I would suggest using paypal and a temporary email account from gmail. You aren't really trying to hide your identity though, but if you do any other business with NFL, there could be an interconnection, I believe.

I have never been able to sign in from my mobile or TV, because somehow through my provider I guess, the websites figure out that those devices are located in the US, despite using a VPN.

So log in from your laptop, connect HDMI to your big screen, and there you go.

But to pjcas' point...  
D HOS : 5/15/2023 7:38 am : link
If you have nationally broadcast games, locally broadcast games, you just need a "fill in" here and there, it works fine for that on a weekly basis.

My point is, if you do subscribe for a year, you don't need Sunday Ticket, Prime, anything else for the full schedule.

For me, out of state, with no broadcast or cable TV, it works splendidly. My feeling is the NFL doesn't really care and the only reason they don't offer this exact package in the US at that price point, is, they can squeeze US consumers more, and it surely interferes with the TV / Amazon / Youtube negotiations. But their thing is, just pay us, so I am sure its fine.

And let me guess, you probably also think that a 15-20% tip is adequate after you took up a stool for the whole afternoon.

So we've already established that the $20 is false unless you don't tip at all. Let's find out exactly how false it is or how cheap you are.
