Verizon Launches NFL Sunday Ticket Promotion, Offering Savings Up to $480 for Texas Fans

Verizon is kicking off the 2026 NFL season with a major promotion: YouTube's NFL Sunday Ticket, on us, with select mobile and home internet plans. Starting today through September 2, customers can save up to $480 by bundling the service with eligible plans. This offer is available to new and existing customers who purchase an eligible 5G phone and activate a new smartphone line on Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plans, or switch an existing line to those plans after purchasing a qualifying phone. Additionally, customers can qualify by switching home internet to Verizon's 100% fiber-optic Fios Home Internet plans, select premium Verizon Home Internet options (including 5G Home Ultimate or Verizon Home Internet Lite Extra), or premium Frontier Fiber tiers (1G, 2G, 5G, or 7G). For existing Verizon Home Internet customers and new or existing Simplicity customers, a standalone subscription to NFL Sunday Ticket is available for $234, or the NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone streaming bundle for $276.

This promotion is significant for Texas fans, where football is a way of life. With access to every out-of-market Sunday afternoon regular season game, Texans can follow the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, or any other team from anywhere. The offer eliminates the usual $480 cost, making it easier for families and businesses to stay connected to the action. For businesses, this can be a tool to attract customers: sports bars, restaurants, and offices can stream games without commercial use restrictions?though the press release notes commercial use is excluded. Still, for personal use, the savings are substantial.

Beyond the football package, Verizon is rolling out Verizon Shine, part of a new loyalty program that offers customers once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Starting the week of August 3, customers can enter to win an all-expenses-paid 5-day trip to see the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints in the first NFL game ever held in Paris. This is not just a win for football fans but highlights how Verizon is leveraging its network to create unique fan experiences. The loyalty program also eliminates activation and upgrade fees and introduces Verizon Dollars, where customers earn 3% cash back each month just for being a customer.

For Texas, a state with a massive NFL fan base and a growing tech economy, this move could drive more consumers to high-speed 5G and fiber-optic home internet. As remote work and streaming continue to dominate, reliable internet is critical. Verizon's offer incentivizes upgrades to premium plans, which could boost connectivity for businesses and households alike. The promotion runs through September 2, just before the regular season kicks off. Fans can sign up at verizon.com/nfl-sunday-ticket-on-youtube-streaming/ or visit a local Verizon store.
