I watch a ridiculously small amount of tv these days. And with the Rams in LA i don't really need Sunday Ticket but i still have it and DTV for some reason but guessing it won't be too much longer...

Sadly there are a number of markets where baseball, hockey and/or basketball are marooned on certain carriers and mean “keeping the cord”.

The question with Apple is will they let users purchase Sunday Ticket with just Apple TV+; or will they bundle it up with Apple One?

Worth noting. But it's just select Friday nights baseball games. Sounds like Tim Cook spent less than a minute on it in today's ongoing product announcement.

Could we see a future where Apple TV+ and Sunday Ticket Streaming via them requires buying/using an Apple TV box?

I really really hope Apple doesnt get it, I dont think Sunday ticket will work as well or cost more. For those of us in Nocal, Sunday ticket is massive.

MLB on AppleTV+ premiered tonight. I like the clean look. Better than flashy stuff on Bally Sports and ESPN.

Report: Apple is “likely” landing Sunday Ticket

Posted by Mike Florio on April 18, 2022, 1:40 PM EDT

Apple is about to take a, well, something out of the NFL’s rights portfolio.

The tech behemoth reportedly has emerged as the favorite to land the NFL’s Sunday Ticket package, according to Matthew Belloni of PUCK.news, via Sports Business Journal. An unnamed source told Belloni that the deal is actually done, and that it’s being kept under wraps at Apple’s request.

The price could land in the range of $2.5 billion per year. And the deal would bring Apple within the NFL’s broader broadcast-partner tent. Belloni writes that the league “likes spreading its rights around so everyone is invested in its success.” (Some would phrase that a little differently.)

DirecTV holds the Sunday Ticket rights through 2022. We’ve previously heard that the winner of the Sunday Ticket package possibly would be able to sell a sliver of the satellite rights, either to people in areas that lack high-speed Internet access or to bars.
