Starting this Season, EverPass Will Be the Exclusive Commercial Home of NFL Sunday Ticket
The Future of NFL Sunday Ticket for Businesses Starts Now
The way premium live sports are delivered is changing rapidly, and for commercial venues, NFL Sunday Ticket is entering a modern era.
Starting with the 2026 NFL season, EverPass Media will be the exclusive commercial home for NFL Sunday Ticket, as distribution transitions from satellite to streaming.
As the commercial rightsholder since 2023, EverPass is the only platform authorized to deliver NFL Sunday Ticket to bars, restaurants, hotels, casinos, and other public venues.
For businesses that rely on game day traffic, this is more than a change in delivery. It’s a major step forward in how premium live sports are brought to fans.
Sports bars aren’t built around one game—they’re built around every fan in the room. That’s why access to out-of-market games through NFL Sunday Ticket continues to be a key driver of traffic, dwell time, and overall game day revenue.
Built for Business, Not the Living Room
EverPass wasn’t adapted from a residential experience. It was built specifically for the realities of commercial environments, where multiple screens, busy staff, and high customer expectations demand consistency and control.
Game day doesn’t leave room for compromise. Neither should your platform.
With EverPass, venues get:
- Business-grade streaming reliability for high-traffic environments
- Centralized control across every screen with EverPass Core
- Plug-and-play hardware designed for commercial environments
- Dedicated support from setup through kickoff
- Flexible packages designed around venue needs
This is not just another way to stream. It’s a platform built to aggregate the premium live sports your guests care about into one authorized, easy-to-use solution for commercial venues.
Supporting the Shift to Streaming
As more premium sports rights move to streaming across the industry, commercial establishments need solutions built for where the market is going, not where it has been. EverPass is not driving that shift. We are helping businesses adapt to it with an authorized, purpose-built solution designed specifically for commercial environments.
EverPass is enabling that transition with a commercial-grade platform built for bars, restaurants, and other out-of-home venues. This is not a new or untested model. EverPass is already operating successfully in live, multi-screen commercial environments today, including in many of the country’s largest chains and venues.
Since launching in 2023, EverPass has evolved from a single offering into a more robust platform built to help businesses access the premium live sports their guests care about most, while giving operators more control, more flexibility, and more ways to engage fans across the venue. Along the way, EverPass has continued expanding commercial access to premium sports as rights have shifted to streaming, helping businesses stay connected to the content that drives traffic and loyalty.
Getting Ready for the Season
We understand that transitioning to a streaming-based solution for NFL Sunday Ticket may require planning, from connectivity and hardware to overall venue readiness.
That’s why our team is committed to helping customers make the transition with confidence and be fully prepared before kickoff.
Our goal is simple: make sure your venue is ready well before the first Sunday of the season, so you can focus on what matters most: delivering a great experience for every guest who walks through the door.
Built for What’s Next
We appreciate the role DIRECTV has played in bringing NFL Sunday Ticket to commercial venues over the years.
But the future of premium live sports in commercial venues is evolving quickly, and EverPass is built for that future.
As NFL Sunday Ticket transitions to streaming, now is the time to make sure your venue is ready for the next era. If you’d like to review your current setup or learn more about the transition to EverPass, contact our team today.

NFL Sunday Ticket does not include games that are broadcast in your local market on FOX or CBS. The package includes all out-of-market Sunday afternoon games only. If a game is your local market’s broadcast, it will not appear in the NFL Sunday Ticket package.
If a game is your local market’s designated broadcast on CBS or FOX, it won’t be available through NFL Sunday Ticket regardless of your TV setup. All other Sunday afternoon games will be available.
The shift to streaming is part of the broader evolution of sports media, following many technological transitions that have reshaped how fans watch live events. EverPass is specifically designed for this environment, giving venues a practical way to modernize with the industry, and we are working to make the transition as practical, seamless and cost-effective as possible.
No. DIRECTV for Business’s prior distribution agreement for NFL Sunday Ticket expired February 26, 2026. There are no active negotiations with DIRECTV for Business or any other provider. EverPass is the exclusive commercial rightsholder and has been since 2023.
Your DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS subscription will not carry over. To continue showing out-of-market Sunday games, set up a new account with EverPass. Our quick-start guide will make the transition as easy as possible, and check out the resources on our website to help you get the most out of your subscription.

EverPass is purpose-built for this environment — not a residential product adapted for commercial use. Our platform is designed for multi-screen environments and is supported by enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. We manage over 4,000 live events and 600,000+ minutes of airtime, including NFL Christmas Day games, NFL Sunday Ticket and high-volume fight cards. We recommend a minimum of 10 Mbps per device for consistent performance, and our setup team will assess your venue before installation. For specific technical questions, please visit our help center or email support@everpass.com to reach our support team.
Most bars and restaurants already have adequate bandwidth — minimum 10 Mbps per device. If you’re on a basic consumer plan or in a rural area, check with your ISP about business-class upgrades. If you have questions, please reach out to our team via the contacts at the bottom of this page. We can help assess readiness, provide setup guidance and support your business in preparing for streaming environments.
Pricing varies by venue size and configuration and is consistent with previous years. We’re currently offering up to 15% off NFL Sunday Ticket for venues that sign up by June 30 — up to $1,500 off per location — along with three months of EverPass Core at no additional cost and up to six free streaming devices.
Not necessarily. NFL Sunday Ticket requires EverPass hardware or can be accessed through the Xumo Stream Box for Spectrum Business customers. Setup is straightforward and works with your existing screens.
Using a residential product in a commercial setting creates real legal and compliance exposure — including potential service interruption, financial penalties, and legal liability. EverPass works directly with the NFL on authorization and compliance enforcement. Our goal is to make sure your venue is properly licensed and protected before the season starts, not to create problems for operators who act in good faith.
EverPass Core is required. It’s the management platform that powers your entire setup — scheduling games in advance, managing your screens from one dashboard, and accessing select complimentary programming from Apple TV, Prime Video, and Paramount+. The early-bird offer includes three months of EverPass Core at no additional cost.
The earlier the better — it gives you more time to get set up and test everything before Week 1. We’re currently offering early-bird pricing for venues that sign up by June 30. Venues that sign up in August will still be accommodated, but have less runway for setup and testing.
You’re set. Your subscription auto-renews and continues seamlessly — no action required. Questions about your plan or setup? Contact our support team.
EverPass Core lets you schedule games, manage programming by location, and keep your setup organized from one dashboard across all your venues. Contact our team to configure the right approach for your footprint.
NFL Sunday Ticket rights are distributed through exclusive licensing agreements, which is standard across sports and entertainment. Residential NFL Sunday Ticket is exclusively available through YouTube TV, while commercial NFL Sunday Ticket is exclusively available through EverPass. Similar to other streaming content, the platform that holds the rights is the platform authorized to distribute it.
