Methodology

Prices reflect Lucky Rebel's analysis of 2021 vs 2026 subscription pricing across major U.S. sports streaming services. YouTube TV baseline uses its earliest comparable price (2023), and NFL Sunday Ticket 2021 pricing reflects the DirecTV season fee ($293.94 / season) before it moved to YouTube TV. Annual and seasonal plans are converted to monthly equivalents.
