Football is back, and NFL Sunday Ticket is one of the best ways to watch it.
While just about everyone has a certain team or even player they root for, it's worth keeping tabs on the entire league with the number of storylines at play in this NFL season.
The focus is on the Chiefs and their quest for a three-peat, but Aaron Rodgers' return to the field, Jim Harbaugh's return to the NFL, and the Lions' quest for a championship are among the headliners as the season gets started.

Rookie quarterbacks will also be fascinating to watch, as three are set to start in Week 1 and more could soon follow if the Patriots decide to give Drake Maye a shot after an impressive preseason.
NFL Sunday Ticket is the way to watch every out-of-market game, and college students can once again get the package at a heavy discount. Here's what you need to know about how to subscribe.

How to get NFL Sunday Ticket student discount
Students hoping to take advantage of the NFL Sunday Ticket discount can go to the NFL's YouTube page and click "Get NFL Sunday Ticket" to start the process of subscribing with a discount. There will be an option to sign up for the student discount, and the link will redirect users to a page that asks them to verify their status.
The NFL Sunday Ticket student discount allows students to subscribe for $199, or $209 with the inclusion of the NFL RedZone channel. That's more than half off the actual starting price of $479 for YouTube TV subscribers. Both prices are up significantly from last year, but the student discount is much less of a burden for young fans.
Anyone using a student discount on NFL Sunday Ticket can only watch on one device at a time, though one device can display as many as four games with multi-view.
What is YouTube TV college student plan?
NFL Sunday Ticket is available for college students at a much lower cost than it is for the general public, thanks to YouTube TV's student discount. YouTube TV introduced the discount after taking over NFL Sunday Ticket in 2023.
NFL Sunday Ticket allows fans to watch all out-of-market games live, giving viewers the ability to watch both their own favorite team out-of-market and every other team during the Sunday afternoon windows.
For example, a traditional cable subscription allows a viewer to watch only one or two locally broadcast games at a time on Sunday afternoons. Without NFL Sunday Ticket, fans are stuck with whichever games are being broadcast in their local market. With NFL Sunday Ticket, fans can watch whichever live game they want.
For college students, this can be especially critical. A student from Minnesota attending a school in Boston might not be able to watch the Vikings most weeks in their local market, but NFL Sunday Ticket allows them to watch any Sunday afternoon Vikings game. YouTube TV is making it much more affordable for students in those situations to watch all of the action this season.
