Sunday Ticket users experienced similar issues last week when it went down for several hours. It also didn’t help that a number of other services that broadcast live football, including YouTube TV, Sling TV, and the NFL app, were also experiencing outages at the time. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like other services are experiencing any issues this week.
After this football season, NFL Sunday Ticket will have a new home. DirecTV’s rights to Sunday Ticket expire this year, with Google and Apple reportedly in the running to secure them.
