Google-owned YouTube, which just agreed to pay the National Football League $2.5 billion a season for the “NFL Sunday Ticket” out-of-market games package, is jacking up the price.

YouTube TV subscribers who don’t sign up during the early-bird enlistment period (April 11-June 6) and take advantage of a $100 discount, will pay $349 a season for Sunday Ticket, up from the $293 incumbent platform DirecTV had been charging. 

Notably, Google just upped the price of YouTube TV from $64.99 a month to $72.99 monthly.

YouTube is also letting customers who don't pay for its virtual MVPD sign up for Sunday Ticket through YouTube Primetime Channels, but they’ll pay a $100 premium, upping the total price to $449 a year. 

YouTube TV and Primetime Channels subscribers can also bundle in NFL RedZone for an extra $40 a season, never missing a scoring possession. 

Sunday Ticket is migrating to YouTube this year after spending its first three formative decades exclusively at DirecTV.
