College students can save big on NFL Sunday Ticket, which includes all of the out-of-market telecasts, with the student discount.
Parents and students may be debating the value of a four-year college education, but college-going football fanatics can definitely score a good deal when it comes to NFL Sunday Ticket.
The regular price for the programming package, which includes all of the Sunday out-of-market NFL games not broadcast on local TV stations, is $480 (but non-students can still get a break on NFL Sunday Ticket, too).
Students can get NFL Sunday Ticket for $119, and for $10, they can add the beloved NFL RedZone channel, a live TV show that tracks all the scoring in Sunday afternoon games. That is a savings of $361 on NFL Sunday Ticket and a savings of $393, compared to the $522 regular price for returning subscribers who also get NFL RedZone.
The regular season starts on Thursday, Sept. 4, with the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, hosting the Dallas Cowboys in a game broadcast nationally on NBC. The next night, on Sept. 5, YouTube will stream for free the Week 1 game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs from São Paulo, Brazil.
Two days later, on Sunday, Sept. 7, NFL Sunday Ticket will air eight NFL games in the 1 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. ET broadcast windows, as shown on CBS and Fox. NFL Sunday Ticket will include all of those games not broadcast by your local CBS and Fox channels.
A note about the NFL Sunday Ticket student plan: Unlike with the full-priced plan, which lets you share with up to five other family members at no extra cost, student plans do not include family sharing. The plan allows for one signed-in device and one concurrent stream at a time.
How to get the NFL Sunday Ticket student discount
The discount is good for students attending accredited colleges or universities, and they can sign up on the YouTube site. Among the plan options, scroll down to see the Student Plan.
Once there, you will choose either to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket ($119) or NFL Sunday Ticket with NFL RedZone ($129). The RedZone channel, a 7-hour program hosted by Scott Hanson, shows big plays live and may show up to eight games simultaneously via the famous "Octobox."
When you sign up, YouTube recommends using a personal email address to set up NFL Sunday Ticket (you watch via the NFL page on YouTube) because some university networks place restrictions on .edu accounts.
Are there NFL Sunday Ticket discounts for others, including military and veterans?
Yes, veterans and those currently in the military, plus first responders, medical personnel and teachers can buy NFL Sunday Ticket for $198 or get it with NFL RedZone for $42 more. See the YouTube site for details on how to sign up.
