A jury ruled Thursday that the NFL must pay more than $4.7 billion in damages for violating antitrust law with its "Sunday Ticket" subscription pricing.
The NFL was ordered to pay $4.7 billion to residential subscribers and $96 million to commercial subscribers, such as bars and restaurants, per legal reporter Meghann Cuniff.
The damages could triple to over $14 billion under federal antitrust law.
The NFL stated that it plans to appeal the decision.
The case concerns the "NFL Sunday Ticket" subscription program for out-of-market games, for which the jury ruled the NFL conspired with network partners to inflate prices.
