American football is one of the most cherished and widely televised sports leagues globally. According to Statista, an average of 17.6 million viewers tuned in to watch a regular-season NFL game in 2022, while over 113 million viewers watched the 2023 Superbowl.

A portion of NFL audiences can be attributed to NFL Sunday Ticket holders. The NFL Sunday Ticket package is a paid-for service that allows you to watch out-of-market (not broadcast in your location or region) Sunday games on CBS and FOX.

Please note that NFL Sunday Tickets are only available to viewers in the US.
