NFL Hit With Class Action Over ‘Sunday Ticket’ Prices

The NFL will face a $6 billion class action lawsuit over claims it limited televised games and hiked the cost of ‘NFL Sunday Ticket.’

DirecTV has rights to ‘Sunday Ticket’ until the end of the 2022-23 season, and the plaintiffs’ attorneys are seeking damages for those who purchased ‘Sunday Ticket’ from the provider since 2011.

The case will have two plaintiffs classes - individual ‘Sunday Ticket’ residential subscribers and commercial establishments.

There are reportedly at least 2.4 million members in the residential class.
The commercial class has around 48,000 members.

Lawyers for the NFL and its teams claim the plaintiffs’ lawyers failed to meet the legal requirements needed to form classes.
