Is Chiefs vs. Raiders on NFL Sunday Ticket with DIRECTV?
No. Residential DIRECTV customers can't get NFL Sunday Ticket anymore. The out-of-market package moved to YouTube and YouTube TV in 2023, and that's where fans outside the local broadcast area can watch this game.
Bars, restaurants and other businesses are different. For the 2026 season, DIRECTV for Business can again offer NFL Sunday Ticket to commercial venues under an agreement with EverPass, the league's commercial distributor. So if this game isn't on TV where you live, a sports bar with DIRECTV may have it.
What DIRECTV homes do have is NFL RedZone on channel 211, which jumps between every Sunday-afternoon game. It's an add-on for most packages and included with PREMIER.
