The NFL regular season kicks off in September, but according to a Reddit post, spotted by 9to5Google, YouTube TV is already offering some former Sunday Ticket subscribers a chance to return before Aug. 7 and save up to $96 annually.
An NFL Sunday Ticket gets you access to regular season Sunday afternoon (Eastern Time) out-of-market games, alongside games not shown nationally or on your local area broadcasts. When you add it on top of a YouTube TV subscription, which starts at $82.99 a month, you also get access to most pre-season and post-season games.
You can purchase the Sunday Ticket as a standalone subscription or as an add-on for the base YouTube TV plan, and prices for the upcoming season were announced last month.
For returning subscribers, with the YouTube TV base plan, a Sunday Ticket Season Pass would cost $31.50 per month or $378 annually. Without the base plan, it would be $40 per month and $480 annually. Last year’s pricing was in the same range.
Given the high costs, customers often cancel their Sunday Ticket subscription when their team is eliminated from the tournament or when the season ends in February. With the next season approaching, it appears as though YouTube is trying to win them back with discounts.
However, the newly reported offers aren’t the same for all users. At least three commenters on the Reddit thread stated that they had received emails offering a $48 annual discount, while a few others agreed with the original poster’s $96.

With the maximum discount, the annual Sunday Ticket pass would cost a returning YouTube TV subscriber $282. For a non-YouTube TV subscriber, the maximum discount brings the price down to $324. We have reached out to Google for clarification on these discounts and will update this story if we receive a response.

For new subscribers, the offers are straightforward and slightly better than those for returning customers. Whether you get the Sunday Ticket season pass with a YouTube TV base plan or without it, you’ll pay $23 per month or $276 for the year.
