Does Sunday Ticket come with RedZone in 2026?
Short answer: not in the base package. RedZone is a separate $11/mo add-on on YouTube TV. Here’s the math.
TL;DR: No — NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV does not include NFL RedZone in the base package in 2026. RedZone is sold as a separate add-on, typically around $10.99/mo via YouTube TV’s Sports Plus pack or as a Sunday Ticket bundle upgrade. Total cost for the Sunday Ticket + RedZone combo via YouTube TV: roughly $1,440-$1,500/yr ($82.99/mo YouTube TV + $349/season Sunday Ticket + ~$11/mo Sports Plus). Slam Dunk Zone at $39.95/mo flat doesn’t resell Sunday Ticket or RedZone, but it carries multiple regional broadcaster feeds that show concurrent in-progress Sunday games — covering most fan use cases for $479.40/yr ($1,000+ less than Sunday Ticket + RedZone).
What Sunday Ticket actually includes (base package)
The Sunday Ticket base package on YouTube TV gives you:
- Every out-of-market Sunday afternoon NFL game live (the CBS and FOX games not airing in your local market).
- Multi-game viewing on the YouTube TV apps — pick a primary game, run a second window for another.
- Replay and condensed-game on-demand after the live broadcast.
- Not included: NFL RedZone (the whip-around channel showing every scoring play live across all games).
- Not included: Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, or playoff games (those run on NBC/ESPN/Prime/CBS/FOX).
Where RedZone actually lives + what it costs
NFL RedZone is operated by NFL Network and runs Sunday afternoons during the live window. Distribution: YouTube TV’s Sports Plus add-on (~$10.99/mo), Sling TV’s Blue + Sports Extra ($55+/mo total), DirecTV Stream Choice and above, and select cable packages. RedZone is also available standalone via NFL+ Premium ($14.99/mo) for limited windows.
Total Sunday Ticket + RedZone via YouTube TV: $82.99/mo (YouTube TV) + $349/season Sunday Ticket + $10.99/mo Sports Plus = ~$1,440/yr.
How SDZ replaces most of what Sunday Ticket + RedZone do
Slam Dunk Zone at $39.95/mo flat doesn’t carry the official Sunday Ticket or RedZone branded products. It does carry:
- Multiple regional CBS and FOX broadcaster feeds — many out-of-market games air on a regional affiliate during the Sunday window.
- NFL Network with its own concurrent-games coverage during Sunday windows.
- All five primary broadcaster windows (CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, Thursday-night streaming) live in HD.
- 5,000+ other live channels including college football, Premier League, NBA, MLB, UFC PPV.
