NFL Sunday Ticket: How to cancel auto-renew before you forget

With all the excitement of the NFL postseason, it’s easy to forget about NFL Sunday Ticket, the YouTube-hosted home for streaming out-of-market NFL games during the regular season. Indeed, YouTube is probably hoping Sunday Ticket subscribers forget about their memberships–at least until next season’s kickoff. 

The reason? NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV has an auto-renewal feature that automatically resubs users for the following season—and once you’re re-subscribed, there are no refunds. 

The date when YouTube or YouTube TV will automatically renew your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription may vary; you can find the renewal date in your YouTube accounts details (more on that in a moment). Most likely, your NFL Sunday Ticket renewal date will hit a few weeks before the 2025-26 regular season begins. 

Okay, but what if you’ve already decided to keep your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription? Should you still cancel before next season?  

The answer is yes. As TV Answer Man has previously pointed out, YouTube will re-subscribe you to NFL Sunday Ticket “at the then-current retail price.” That means you’ll miss out on any NFL Sunday Ticket discounts that crop up after your renewal date.

What about Verizon’s NFL Sunday Ticket offer–how you do cancel that?

Did you snag a free season of NFL Sunday Ticket through Verizon? If so, trying to manage your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription on YouTube will simply shoot you over to Verizon’s site, where you’ll see your status as “Account Enrolled.” Now what?

The answer: Now nothing, as there’s nothing you need to do.

As Verizon’s NFL Sunday Ticket FAQ explains, the Verizon offer is only good for the 2024-25 regular NFL season, and once it expires, it won’t auto-renew.
