The NFL Sunday Ticket had many tech companies bidding to get its streaming rights, especially as it is nearing the end of its contract with DirecTV, and Google seems to be the frontrunner on the show. It is known that Apple is one of the companies who worked to get the deal, one which it would showcase for its Apple TV+ service.
If Google secures this, the NFL Sunday Ticket will head to its YouTube TV streaming platform, as well as its Primetime Channels feature.

The Wall Street Journal's latest report claims that Google is already in "advanced talks" with the famous American football league in the country, to secure the rights to stream NFL's Sunday Ticket.
Should this deal come to fruition and favor Google, it will be the new home of the Sunday Ticket, one of the most sought-after shows from a sports league in the country.
The National Football League is undoubtedly one of the most famous games in the country alongside basketball with the NBA, baseball with the MBL, and more.
Additionally, if the NFL owners decide that Google is to get the contract, a deal will be made as early as Wednesday, December 21, to transfer the rights from DirecTV over to their offers.

According to 9to5 Google, the Mountain View giant aims to feature its YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels to bring the NFL to people's homes and devices. People could choose either of the services, with the YouTube TV being one of the most famous platforms for streaming, and the Primetime Channels aiming to deliver its online content, as well as channel add-ons for streaming.
NFL Sunday Ticket and its Long Bid
The NFL Sunday Ticket has been one of the most sought-after sports league shows by famous streaming companies to include in their packages and services for subscribers. One of its previous frontrunners was Apple which has been in talks with the sports league since early 2021, joined by other streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video and ESPN+.
There have been talks that the famous American football league is dropping DirecTV's services from showcasing its games, looking for an alternative among the many streaming platforms in the country. With Apple being one of the most prominent names in this change, there were speculations that it will win the bidding and contract to showcase NFL games.
However, with the massive speculation around the Cupertino giant not getting it and reportedly dropping out of the competition, another company interested in showcasing it is Google. These advanced talks may mean that the internet company will secure this for its YouTube TV and Primetime Channels, speculating that Google will get the NFL.
