How to Get 1 Month of NFL RedZone Free From DIRECTV
Want NFL RedZone without paying for it right away? DIRECTV is currently offering one free month of MySports Extra, the add-on that includes NFL RedZone, with its MySports Genre Pack. MySports itself is discounted to $44.99 a month for the first six months for qualifying new customers.
The catch is timing. The promotion runs through Saturday, October 3, 2026. Sign up by then and your free month can cover several Sunday afternoons of RedZone this season.
