NFL Sunday Ticket Trial Begins Amid $21 Billion Allegations of Inflated Costs

Jun 14, 2024, 04:05 PM

The trial in a class action lawsuit involving the NFL Sunday Ticket is underway, with significant financial implications potentially reaching $21 billion. The lawsuit alleges that the NFL illegally inflated the cost and restricted access to the Sunday Ticket package, compelling fans to purchase all available games rather than a select few. Documents revealed that ESPN had proposed selling the full-season package for only $70 and offering a single-team option, but the NFL rejected this proposal. The NFL's chief media officer has reportedly contradicted his own testimony, adding further complexity to the case.
