Last weekend was the first time NFL Sunday Ticket was offered on YouTube TV and YouTube. Now the NFL said yesterday that NFL Sunday Ticket has more subscribers now than it did when DIRECTV used the service, according to a report from NBC Sports.
Many wondered if Google could handle the demand, and from what our readers say NFL Sunday Ticket’s first day went off without any major issues. This comes as Google took the risk step of even offering a free trial of the service to let even more potential customers try out the service.
With other sports leagues watching NFL Sunday Ticket streaming as a potential example for them to launch a similar streaming partnership, this was an important day for Google. Now Google will be able to point to the success of NFL Sunday Ticket as an example of why the NBA for example, should partner with them. The NBA’s TV negotiations will start next year, and multiple streaming services are reportedly interested in getting some of the NBA’s TV rights.
