NFL Sunday Ticket expands reach to colleges

Mike Snider | USA TODAY

DirecTV is expanding its NFL Sunday Ticket availability to all four-year colleges and universities at a discounted price to students.

Students can get the satellite TV provider's programming package that includes all out-of-market NFL Sunday games for more than half the regular price ($24.99 monthly for four months). That includes all the features of the NFLSundayTicket.TV Max package ($89.99/mo for 4 months), available to apartment dwellers and those who cannot install a DirecTV Dish or have obstructed access.

The Max package also lets subscribers watch the Red Zone Channel and DirecTV Fantasy Zone.

Along with students, non-student subscribers to NFLSundayTicket.TV can also take advantage of more devices to watch NFL games on including Google Chromecast, Xbox 360, Windows 10 and Roku. Previously, the NFL package was viewable on Android and iOS smartphones, tablets and computers (via the Web), as well as Sony PlayStation 4 and PS3, and Xbox One.

“Millions of people in apartments and houses in the U.S. who were unable to install DirecTV satellite dishes can now enjoy every out-of-market game, every Sunday afternoon on their favorite mobile and connected devices,” said Alex Kaplan, DirecTV's senior vice president of marketing. “More NFL fans than ever before will be able to access NFLSUNDAYTICKET.TV service and follow their favorite teams and players.”

Last year, DirecTV began offering NFL Sunday Ticket to 10 select universities including Ohio State University.
