Step 1: Discover Your Eligibility – Are You Ready for Some Football?

Verizon typically provides a couple of pathways to enjoy NFL Sunday Ticket, often through promotions like "On Us" or a significant discount.

Sub-heading: Understanding the "On Us" Offer
Verizon's "NFL Sunday Ticket from YouTube, On Us" promotion is usually the most sought-after. This generally means you get the full season subscription at no additional cost. To qualify, you typically need to:
Be a New Customer: This often applies to new Verizon Wireless customers adding new lines of service or new Verizon Home Internet (5G Home Plus, LTE Home Plus, or Fios 1 Gig/2 Gig) customers.
Upgrade Your Service: Existing mobile customers might qualify by upgrading to an eligible phone on an Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plan. Similarly, existing home internet customers might qualify by upgrading to 5G Home Plus, LTE Home Plus, Fios 1 Gig, or 2 Gig plans.
Switch Your Plan: Sometimes, simply moving from a usage-based plan to an Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus mobile plan can make you eligible.
Important Note: These offers are usually for the current NFL season (e.g., 2024-2025 season). The promotion typically runs for a limited time, so be sure to check the specific dates. For example, recent promotions have run from late July to early September. You must activate the offer within a specified timeframe (e.g., 60 days of order/activation or no later than December 10th of the current year).
Sub-heading: The "$100 Off" Offer
If you don't qualify for the "On Us" promotion, don't despair! Verizon often provides a "$100 off NFL Sunday Ticket from YouTube" offer. This is generally available to existing Verizon mobile, Verizon Home Internet, or Fios TV customers, and often requires no new purchase or plan changes, but you must redeem it through Verizon's +play platform.
Key takeaway: Always verify the specific terms and conditions of the offer you're interested in on the official Verizon website or by contacting their customer support. Eligibility criteria, eligible devices, and plan requirements can vary slightly year to year and by promotion.
Step 2: Completing Your Qualifying Transaction
Once you understand which offer you're eligible for, the next step is to complete the necessary transaction with Verizon.
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Sub-heading: For "On Us" Offers (New/Upgrading Customers)
Mobile Customers: If you're purchasing an eligible phone or adding a new line on a qualifying Unlimited plan (Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus), or upgrading your existing device on such a plan, ensure your transaction is fully processed and your phone and plan are activated.
Home Internet Customers: If you're signing up for new Verizon Home Internet (5G Home Plus, LTE Home Plus, or Fios 1 Gig/2 Gig) or upgrading your existing service, make sure your installation is complete and your service is active.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on your email! Verizon typically sends a "Ready to Redeem" or "Installation Complete" email once your qualifying transaction is finalized. This email often contains a direct link to begin the redemption process.
Sub-heading: For "$100 Off" Offers (Existing Customers via +play)
If you're opting for the $100 off promotion, the process is usually simpler as it doesn't always require a new device or plan change.
You'll typically access this offer through the Verizon +play platform.
Step 3: Accessing Your My Verizon Account
With your qualifying transaction complete, it's time to log into your My Verizon account. This is your central hub for managing your services and redeeming your NFL Sunday Ticket offer.
Via Web Browser: Go to the official Verizon website and log in with your My Verizon credentials.
Via My Verizon App: Download and open the My Verizon app on your smartphone or tablet and log in.
Crucial Point: Ensure you are logged in as the Account Owner or an Account Manager to access and redeem promotional offers.
Step 4: Locating the NFL Sunday Ticket Offer Tile
Once logged into your My Verizon account, navigate to the section where offers and promotions are displayed.
Sub-heading: For Mobile and 5G/LTE Home Plus Customers
Look for a tile or section labeled "Make the most of your plans" or similar. This is where your NFL Sunday Ticket redemption option should appear.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Sub-heading: For Fios Customers
Navigate to the "Home offers page." The NFL Sunday Ticket redemption tile should be located there.
Sub-heading: For +play Users (for $100 off)
Visit the +play platform and look for the NFL Sunday Ticket tile. Select "Learn More" or "Get it Now."
Troubleshooting Tip: If you don't see the offer, double-check your eligibility against the promotion's terms and conditions. Sometimes, it might take a little time for the offer to populate after your qualifying transaction is complete. You can also try clearing your browser cache or re-logging into the app.
Step 5: Claiming Your Offer and Accepting Terms
You're almost there! Click on the NFL Sunday Ticket redemption tile you've located.
Select "Claim offer": This will initiate the redemption process.
Review and Accept Terms and Conditions: Carefully read the Verizon terms and conditions associated with the NFL Sunday Ticket offer. This is crucial for understanding the duration of the subscription (e.g., 2024-2025 season only, non-refundable), and any other important details. You will need to accept these terms to proceed.
Step 6: Linking Your Google Account and Activating on YouTube
This is the final, pivotal step that connects your Verizon offer to your NFL Sunday Ticket access. Remember, NFL Sunday Ticket is now exclusively on YouTube and YouTube TV.
Provide Consent for Verizon to Access Your Google Account: You will be prompted to grant Verizon permission to access your Google account. This is a necessary step for the offer to be applied correctly.
Add/Select Your Google Account Information: You'll either be asked to enter your Google account details or select an existing Google account if you're already signed in on that device. It's essential to use the Google account you wish to use for watching NFL Sunday Ticket. If you don't have a Google account, you'll need to create one.
Select "Continue": After linking your Google account, click continue.
Seamless Transition to YouTube: You will then be redirected to YouTube, where your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription will be activated.
Congratulations! Your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription should now be active for the season. The subscription typically starts from the date of activation, and content for the NFL season becomes available at the start of the regular season (usually early September).
Step 7: Enjoying the Games!
With your NFL Sunday Ticket activated, you can now dive into the exciting world of out-of-market NFL games.
Watch on the YouTube App or Website: You can access NFL Sunday Ticket directly through the YouTube app on your smart TV, streaming device, smartphone, or tablet, or by visiting youtube.com on a web browser.
Access via YouTube TV (Optional): While NFL Sunday Ticket doesn't require a YouTube TV base plan, if you are a YouTube TV subscriber, you can also access the content through the YouTube TV app or website. Ensure you are using the same Google account for both.
YouTube Primetime Channels: NFL Sunday Ticket is available as a Primetime Channel on YouTube, offering another way to view the content.
Remember: NFL Sunday Ticket does not include access to your local NFL broadcast games on CBS or Fox. You'll still need a traditional TV provider (like Fios) or a live TV streaming service (like YouTube TV) to watch those.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
