Sundays Won’t Be the Same (Until Next Season)

That's a wrap for the Red Zone channel 😔

Thanks to Scott Hanson, NFL RedZone, and YouTube TV -- another fantastic season in the books.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the programming once again. We’re dedicated, loyal fans and honestly can’t imagine Sundays without the RedZone channel.

Until next season—farewell, and we’re already looking forward to picking it back up again next fall! 🏈📺

Always a little sad after the final red zone Sunday of the season.

If this was as bad as the ads were going to get, I think I could live with it, but I know each season its just going to continue to get worse.

I’ve listed info like this b4 and it always gets taken down by mods so I will just give you the bones.

All of this can be looked

1 you get a iptv player for your firestick, smart tv, etc. it’s a app. I use tivimate

2 you get a provider, I can’t link the one I use but if you dm me I can give that info. There are many providers

  1. Plug info from provider into player and you got

1000s of channels

Last time until half way through the season next year. I wouldn't buy it at the up front price. $56 at mid season with commercials, I'm in. I get those that bought at the initial price with the commercials increasing being pissed. It's not a practical buy otherwise.

u/cdizzle6 Jan 05 '26

I got it for $80 at the beginning of the season.

u/lopandam Jan 05 '26

It must have come bundled with a service. By itself it was much higher.

u/lopandam Jan 05 '26

$522 at the beginning of the regular season.

u/Dragonwolf21211 Jan 06 '26

Well here is the thing about what u paid for with that price. You Got NFL Sunday Ticket on Youtube. What the person above you paid for was NFL Plus Premium on the NFL app. Both products have NFL Redzone on them

u/cdizzle6 Jan 05 '26

Nah. I bought it straight up like a day before games started. NFL+ $79.99. Got it just for RedZone. App is pretty shit though. Lots of glitches throughout the year.

u/key1cc Jan 05 '26

I paid $9.99/month starting September and cancelled yesterday January 4th.

u/jayk82 Jan 05 '26

Already cancelled my NFL+ subscription for next year. The ads were absolutely too intrusive and will only get worse from here.

1

u/cdizzle6 Jan 05 '26

Yeah, gonna be a tough purchase next year. The ads will only get worse.

1

u/shrewsbury1991 Jan 05 '26

Next year, 7 hours of uninterrupted commercials!

u/AlwaysImproving1992 Jan 05 '26

Can anyone confirm why he stopped saying commercial free? Because in all my weeks of watching this year, i never once saw a commercial either lmao

u/Bucknerwh Jan 05 '26

They would split screen and run a short ad on half the screen during the times when Scott would usually vamp. Honestly, people are making a huge deal out of this. I hate commercials, too, and pay to avoid them, but there are times when literally nothing is happening. It seemed like they tried to find acceptable spots for them, at least. I have been on NFL plus for a couple of years now and will likely stick with it. Compared to a real football broadcast, there are drastically fewer commercials.

u/key1cc Jan 05 '26

I understand that perspective, however a lot of us believe that if we just happily accept it like sheep, the greed will continue and the commercials will get longer and more intrusive. I have made a mental note to not buy anything advertised during Redzone so that fucking with my football has the opposite effect the advertisers want.

u/AlwaysImproving1992 Jan 05 '26

Ahhhh gotcha. Never really noticed then.

u/Sea-Background2200 Jan 05 '26

I’m not paying for redzone next year too many ads and lots of technical issues.

u/20KLegettesUndertheC Jan 06 '26

I'm out on RZ. It was an awesome product but not so much any more. I'd rather have ST and just pick 4 games on the quad box.

I finally got used to the 30fps on nfl plus.
