YouTube stars help NFL bring in more viewers, league says
  + stars: | 2024-02-09 | by ( Zach Vallese | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
YouTube bet big on the NFL to boost its subscriber base, and content creators have been key to that push. After YouTube committed $2 billion per year to secure the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, YouTube TV grew from 5 million subscribers in 2022 to more than 8 million this year. Enlisting some of YouTube's top creators to promote NFL Sunday Ticket helped drive engagement among tens of millions of users, the league said. A subscription to YouTube TV costs $73 per month, with an additional annual fee of $349 for access to NFL Sunday Ticket. YouTube TV enlisted familiar YouTube stars including lifestyle creators, vloggers and sports creators to attract new audiences to the NFL.

For those who already subscribe to YouTube TV, which costs $72.99 a month, the base "Sunday Ticket" package will cost an additional $349 for the season. And though you can bypass the YouTube TV subscription and still snag Sunday Ticket, it will come at a cost. YouTube TV became the newest home of the Sunday Ticket package in December, in a deal that will see the tech giant shell out roughly $2 billion annually for the rights, CNBC previously reported. There was a real opportunity to price this in a smart way, and we worked really closely with the NFL," Oestlien said. The package cost $79.99 a month for the base option, or $149.99 a month for extra features, on top of a DirecTV subscription.
