YouTube finally offers NFL Sunday Ticket month-to-month. It’s pricey

YouTube has just announced its Sunday Ticket pricing for the upcoming NFL season, and along with the typical eye-watering subscription rates comes a long-awaited option—the ability to sign up for just a single month of gridiron. Warning, though: It’ll cost you.  According to a Reddit post from a YouTube staffer, a month-to-month option for NFL Sunday Ticket will arrive in “early September.” The plan will cost $85 a month for new subscribers, or $95/month with NFL RedZone included, while returning subscribers will pay $115 a month with a YouTube TV subscription, or $145 a month on a standalone basis (with NFL RedZone access boosting those prices to $125/month and $155/month respectively).  Unlike previous month-to-month payment NFL Sunday Ticket plans offered by YouTube, this new month-to-month option will let you cancel at any time, meaning you could sign up for just a single month if you wanted to. The 12-month installment plan can be had for as little as $23/month for new subscribers, but you can’t cancel it mid-season, so it’s really just an installment plan. While the new month-to-month option offers some welcome flexibility, the monthly rates aren’t cheap. Consider the $115 a month price for returning NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers who already have YouTube TV; at that rate, three months of Ticket access would cost $345, just $32 less than a full-season subscription (we’ll get to season Sunday Ticket prices in a moment). So if you think you might want more than two months of NFL Sunday Ticket access, you’re probably better off going with a full-season plan.  Meanwhile, there’s still no option for purchasing a single Sunday of NFL Sunday Ticket action–or better yet, a single game. Besides the unveiling of its month-to-month option, YouTube has also announced full-season Sunday Ticket pricing for the 2025-26 NFL season, and it’s roughly equivalent to last season’s rates—for returning subscribers, anyway.  If you’re coming back for another NFL season, expect to pay $378 for Sunday Ticket as an add-on for YouTube TV (which itself goes for $83 a month), or $480 for standalone Sunday Ticket via YouTube Primetime Channels. Tacking on NFL RedZone ups those Sunday Ticket prices to $420 and $522 per season, respectively.  New NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers will be getting a generous discount this year, a development that might understandably rankle longtime Sunday Ticket holders. For the newbies, NFL Sunday Ticket is $276 (or $318 with NFL RedZone) for the season, whether you sign up for the Ticket as a YouTube TV add-on or standalone through YouTube Primetime Channels.  There will also be NFL Sunday Ticket discounts for students ($119 for the season, or $129 with RedZone) as well as military, veterans, first responders, nurses, and teachers ($198, or $208 with RedZone).  You can sign up for the upcoming season of NFL Sunday Ticket now, but before you do, keep these points in mind:  If you want a full season of NFL Sunday Ticket, keep in mind that there are no refunds, and that includes if you opt for a 12-month payment schedule (which, again, is separate from the upcoming month-to-month option).  YouTube is sure to offer some decent NFL Sunday Ticket discounts as we get closer to kickoff, so there’s no harm in waiting in case a better deal pops up.  Don’t forget, NFL Sunday Ticket only offers regular season Sunday afternoon NFL matchups on CBS and Fox, meaning no Thursday night, Sunday night, or Monday night games.
