Admittedly, it might seem a bit early to consider a subscription to NFL Sunday Ticket. After all, we only just finished college basketball, and we’ve still got baseball yet to come. But Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) own YouTube TV recently released pricing information on the football streaming service. The news wasn’t taken so well, as Alphabet was down fractionally in Tuesday afternoon’s trading.

Naturally, there are several different prices, depending on which class of subscriber you fall under. If you’re already a YouTube TV subscriber—paying $72.99 a month—you’ll shell out $349 for access to the entirety of NFL Sunday Ticket. Further, YouTube TV also offers a bundle that works with the NFL’s cable channel, Redzone. Those with Redzone in their package can get the $389 version of NFL Sunday Ticket. And, for those who have no subscriptions to YouTube TV or Redzone, there’s one more option: YouTube Primetime Channels will offer the Sunday Ticket package, which starts at $449. With Redzone included, that goes to $489.
If those prices sound insane, there’s a bit of hope. Those who sign up before June 6 get a $100 discount on the package, which does make for a better bargain. However, YouTube itself notes that YouTube TV viewers will have access to multiview capabilities, unlimited DVR storage, NFL Fantasy data for fantasy football buffs, and more.
Overall, Alphabet enjoys impressive analyst support. Alphabet stock is considered a Strong Buy by seven unanimous Buy recommendations. Thanks to its average price target of $126 per share, it enjoys 18.2% upside potential.
