How we calculate it: monthly services are priced in 30-day blocks from today, so you can subscribe only in the months you need them and cancel in between. Sunday Ticket is a one-time season price. List prices, before tax and promos. Games without an announced network (late-season flex/Saturday games) aren't priced yet. Phone or tablet is fine? NFL+ streams local and primetime games on mobile; that plan comes to $29.96 (NFL+ price unverified). Want one app for TV? YouTube TV Sports Plan ≈ $194.97 (misses 2) or Fubo Sports + News ≈ $194.97 (misses 2) in-market for the rest of the season. See prices & sources.
