The NFL has been battling a major lawsuit over the past several months, one that involves their out-of-market game package: NFL Sunday Ticket. The argument was that the NFL violated antitrust laws with the package, due to the nature of out-of-market games being exclusively shown on Sunday Ticket.
On Thursday, a jury ordered the NFL to pay $96 million in damages to the commercial class, which includes the 48,000 businesses that paid for NFL Sunday Ticket from 2011 to 2022, and $4 billion to the residential class, which covers the 2.4 million residential subscribers of the package over the same period.
