Report: Apple Likely to Acquire NFL Sunday Ticket After 2022 Season

The popular football package NFL Sunday Ticket debuted on DirecTV nearly 30 years ago. Now, it appears to be heading for a new home—and leaving the cable world altogether.

Apple is reportedly the likely new home for the out-of-market football package at the conclusion of the 2022 season, according to Matthew Belloni of PUCK.news. The tech streaming giant has already reached a deal for Sunday Ticket, per Belloni, though an official announcement is “being kept quiet” at Apple’s request.

DirecTV holds the rights to Sunday Ticket through the end of 2022.
