NFL Sunday Ticket Headed to YouTubeTV beginning with 2023 Season

Figured to create a separate thread for those with any questions, concerns, comments from users with/without YTTV.

Some updates on features to expect.

- Mosaic mode / watching multiple games at once

[YouTubeTV has] been discussing the idea of letting viewers pick feeds for a multiscreen watch since last summer. But that “Mosaic Mode” concept hasn’t yet come to fruition. However, in an interview with Nilay Patel of The Verge last week, YouTube chief product officer Neal Mohan said this mode will be ready to go by the time they’re offering NFL Sunday Ticket next fall.

- The standalone NFLST will share features with YouTubeTV

A lot of this conversation is about YouTube TV, but I’m very excited about being able to offer [Sunday Ticket] service in a la carte fashion on [YouTube] Primetime Channels. We’re going to invest in bringing all of those features that sports lovers appreciate on YouTube TV to the main YouTube app. If you sign up for Sunday Ticket through Primetime Channels, you’ll be able to benefit from features like key plays and game highlights, hiding spoilers, and those types of features that our sports fans have kind of come to expect and enjoy on the YouTube TV side.

That's the meat of what's at the link, which is a recap of interviews with Verge and The Desk.

The hiding spoilers option is intriguing, hopefully that means watching live isn’t your only option

They should own the rights for replays also unless the contract was changed to force you to get the NFL service for 30min replays.

Another thing they need to add is kill the NFL audio exclusive crap and allow you to select TV or local radio coverage for either team. All the other leagues allow it in their streaming service.

Non of the other leagues have an exclusive rights service. I doubt CBS and FOX would be okay with that.

Audio is already available to stream in a few different services but it's only audio. Video is available so CBS really shouldn't care if you can choose to not listen to their terrible announcers.

The contracts seem to be the same as say MLB except that there is no overall national carriers for most games. The regional stations have similar contracts that make them provide the feeds to MLB so they can distribute them online. Same thing should be possible for NFL and the teams already stream the radio for the gamepass or whatever it is called now.

So for people like me that pay for YouTube premium but don’t subscribe to YouTube TV, will I be able to buy a football package without having to also buy YouTube tv?
