For the first time ever, users who do not subscribe to DirecTV service will have access to the NFL’s Sunday Ticket service on their mobile devices and computers for the 2014 season. During previous seasons, Sunday Ticket users had to have an active DirecTV satellite subscription to stream the games. While no official announcement has been made, DirecTV has published a promotional page for the service, advertising the fact that users can now “access live, out-of-market NFL games without a DIRECTV satellite TV account.
The service, according to the promotional page, will start $199.99 for the season with access via mobile devices and computers. Should you want access on video game consoles, you’ll have to spring for the $239.99 tier. The top of the line option runs $329.99 and includes access to Red Zone and the Fantasy Zone channel. It’s unclear at this point if AirPlay will be supported, but currently, the Sunday Ticket iOS app does not have it enabled.
Now you can access live, out-of-market NFL games without a DIRECTV satellite TV account—no matter what team you follow! NFLSUNDAYTICKET.TV lets you stream games on your computer, tablet, phone, or game console. All while keeping up with real-time player stats and your fantasy teams.
The NFL Sunday Ticket streaming service will be supported on a variety of iOS and Android devices. Streaming starts on September 7th. The app is available on the App Store now. DirecTV does note that there are some markets in which the streaming service will not be supported, but you can check your area on the company’s website. Local games are also still blacked out.

Here’s hoping for Airplay or just a straight up NFL Apple TV channel.
This is huge.
no its not. its regular pricing anyway at $199 and the top tier is absurd at $329. Also, it seems the $199 would not include air-play, which means you are stuck on watching it on the small mobile devices. Apple needs to bid for the sunday ticket exclusive rights and then make it free on their set top box devices. That will be huge. It will be a perfect way to sell new set top box devices like a hot cake that Apple seems to be working on currently.
so you want apple to pay the $199 for you. I guess that would be huge. but for everyone else, just being able to get the nfl ticket without having a cable bill is huge.
Yes! It was a heavy price tag. http://wp.me/p3zd1e-1Ha
Even if the app doesn’t support AirPlay, can’t you just set the AppleTV to mirror your iPhone or iPad anyway?
this doesn’t work when i try to do it for my Fios TV app. It plays audio, but no video transfers over while mirroring. So most likely, no go on this.
Simple solution if you have a mac is to just extend your desktop with the Apple TV and have the browser window with the nfl content on that screen.
Forget about it if you live in the Denver area evidentially. Not eligible. Go Hawks!
So, which markets will it be available to at this time? Any ideas?
Not available to me in Tallahassee, FL
I think you need to take a look at the terms of service a little more closely…
It clearly states that you can get it without DirectTV only if you are ineligible for DirectTV.

I had this on the PS3 a few years back, you can do it even in a DirectV service area.
