YouTube has finally ventured into sports broadcasting by winning a close war against big giants like Apple. The video streaming company paid around $2 billion to secure the NFL Sunday Ticket rights.
They recently announced the pricing of their yearly plans and it’s way different and complicated than many would have expected. There are different parameters that define the yearly plans.
In hindsight, the yearly membership will cost fans around $449/season for a basic package. However, if one requires the RedZone as well, then they will have to pay around $489/season. Fortunately, there’s a sale going on currently where one can acquire the basic package for $349 and the RedZone package for $389 if they purchase the membership before June 6, 2023.
There is also a concession for YouTube TV subscribers. THe streaming service wanted to reward their loyal customers with additional discounts. TV subscribers can get the basic package for $349/season but with the sale going on it’s a steal at $249. On the other hand, the RedZone package will cost around $389/season but before June 6, one can get it for $289. However, these don’t include the YouTube TV membership cost.
Many were taken aback by these extravagant prices. The masses believed that YouTube will have low prices during their first year to drive customer traffic. However, they have gone the complete opposite write and many on NFL Twitter weren’t happy with this decision.
