A regular-season, Sunday afternoon home team game will be blacked out in a home team's territory if the game fails to sell out at least 72 hours before the game. If it is blacked out on your local broadcast station, it will also be blacked out in your area on NFL SUNDAY TICKET.
Each stadium's local blackout area is defined by the broadcast signal of the local affiliate carrying the game, not by the mileage surrounding the stadium.
The NFL requests broadcasters to black out games for a number of reasons:
- To make sure your local team benefits from a stadium full of enthusiastic fans.
- To protect home game attendance of the teams.
- To assure the entertainment value of a full stadium — for people in the stands and for people watching TV.
- To protect local television coverage.
Games Available on NFL SUNDAY TICKET
Because of NFL and broadcast network requirements outside of DIRECTV's control, games broadcast by your local FOX or CBS station will not be available on channels in the 700s. You must tune to your local FOX or CBS station to watch those games. DIRECTV is required to enforce this rule to ALL of its customers, including customers in areas where DIRECTV does not offer local channels.
Switching Between Games on Different Channels
The best way to switch between games on your local FOX or CBS channel and your NFL SUNDAY TICKET channels to set up a Favorite Channels list. Your DIRECTV® System makes it easy to program. Just press the menu button on your remote and, depending on your receiver, look for a prompt that offers either "Favorite Channels," "Customize Channels" or a similar option. Your system manual will tell you what to expect.
You can create multiple lists, such as one for movie channels and another for sports channels. It's easy to use and even easier to enjoy.
Last-Minute Local Broadcast Changes
If a local station decides to broadcast a different game from the one originally scheduled, DIRECTV will remove the blackout restrictions when permitted by the NFL so that the originally scheduled game is available in the 704-718 channel range as soon as possible.
Local Broadcaster Switches Game Coverage
If a local station switches coverage due to a one-sided or extra-long game, DIRECTV will remove the blackout restrictions when permitted by the NFL so that the game will be available in the 704-718 channel range.
If a local station stays with coverage of an extra-long game instead of switching to the start of the next game, DIRECTV will remove the restrictions on the start of the next game, when permitted by the NFL, so that the game will be available in the 704-718 channel range until the local station resumes coverage as scheduled.
