The NFL continues to be one of the most-watched professional sports leagues in the world.
It dominates TV time in the United States, and with a continued focus on growing the game, the NFL continues to gain international fans as well.
While fans love to tune in every week, it is becoming harder and harder to watch games at an affordable price.
Sunday Ticket has been a heated topic of conversation over the past several years, and there was even a recent lawsuit surrounding this service.
It doesn’t seem to be getting any cheaper, as Dov Kleiman recently showcased that fans can purchase Sunday Ticket for $679.99 in the Apple App Store.

If fans want to include RedZone in this package, it costs $739.99.
After hearing about the price of this year’s Sunday Ticket, fans made sure to make their feelings known on social media.
Might as well go to an actual game instead

HAHA. I’ll pass on that offer. Thanks

$679 is nuts man.
A real travesty.

$679 price tag is brutal

If the initial fan reaction is any indication, this plan might backfire for Sunday Ticket.
Sure, Sunday Ticket gives fans access to nearly every game, but the majority of fans aren’t interested in watching every game at the same time.
Typically, people are interested in a handful of teams, or if they want to watch a lot of action at the same time, they’ll tune into RedZone.
With the amount of public outcry surrounding Sunday Ticket, it will be interesting to see if they cave under pressure and lower the price.
This cost seems to be too expensive for the majority of fans.
