As the thrill of the NFL playoffs takes center stage, it’s easy to overlook the significance of NFL Sunday Ticket, YouTube’s platform for streaming out-of-market NFL games throughout the regular season. In fact, YouTube might prefer that Sunday Ticket users don’t remember their subscriptions—at least not until the start of the next season.
Why is that? YouTube and YouTube TV include an auto-renewal feature for NFL Sunday Ticket that automatically enrolls subscribers for the following season—meaning if you don’t take action, you’ll be charged again without any chance for a refund.
The specific date for when your subscription will renew can vary, but you can easily check the exact date in your YouTube account settings (more on that shortly). Most likely, your account will be renewed a few weeks before the commencement of the 2025-26 regular season.
If you’ve made up your mind to stick with your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription, is it still wise to cancel it before the next season? The answer is a resounding yes. As highlighted by TV Answer Man, if you allow YouTube to automatically renew your subscription, you will be charged “at the then-current retail price.” This policy means you could miss out on any potential discounts that might be offered after your renewal date.

Cancelling Verizon’s NFL Sunday Ticket Offer
If you’ve obtained a complimentary season of NFL Sunday Ticket through Verizon, managing your subscription via YouTube will redirect you to Verizon’s site, where you will see your status as “Account Enrolled.” What steps should you take?
The answer is: you don’t need to take any action.
As Verizon explains in their NFL Sunday Ticket FAQ, the offer is valid for the 2024-25 NFL season only, and it will not automatically renew once it expires.
