NFL+ vs NFL Sunday Ticket: What Is the Difference?
These are two different products for two different fans. NFL+ is the low-cost mobile option: for $6.99/mo (or $14.99/mo for Premium) you get live local and primetime games on your phone or tablet, plus NFL Network and, with Premium, NFL RedZone. NFL Sunday Ticket is the full out-of-market Sunday afternoon package for TV: for $480/season (or $378/season as a YouTube TV add-on) you get every live out-of-market regular-season Sunday afternoon game on your television. They do not overlap: NFL+ does not include Sunday Ticket out-of-market games on TV, and Sunday Ticket does not include your local market games, primetime, or RedZone.

Which one fits you
Local fan
Pick: NFL+ PremiumYou live in your favorite team's market and want to watch their Sunday afternoon games plus primetime.
NFL+ Premium ($14.99/mo or $99.99/season) gives you live local and primetime games on your phone or tablet, plus NFL RedZone and full game replays. You do not need Sunday Ticket because your team's games already air in your local market.
Out-of-market fan
Pick: NFL Sunday TicketYour favorite team plays in a different market, so their Sunday afternoon games are not on your local CBS or FOX.
Sunday Ticket is the only way to watch your out-of-market team's Sunday afternoon games live, and you can watch on your TV. NFL+ will not get you these games.
Mobile-only viewer
Pick: NFL+ (or NFL+ Premium for RedZone)You just want cheap access to live games on your phone or tablet and do not need a TV setup.
NFL+ starts at $6.99/mo and covers live local and primetime games on mobile. Sunday Ticket costs far more and is built for TV viewing of out-of-market games, so it is overkill for a mobile-only fan.
