NEW YORK — As the 2026 NFL season approaches, Verizon is enhancing its sports offerings by providing YouTube's NFL Sunday Ticket, on us, with select mobile and home internet plans. The promotion, available from July 30 through September 2, allows customers to save up to $480 on the popular out-of-market game package. This move is part of Verizon's strategy to attract and retain customers by bundling high-value entertainment with connectivity services.
Customers can qualify for the offer by purchasing an eligible 5G phone and activating a new smartphone line on an Unlimited Ultimate or Unlimited Plus plan. Alternatively, switching an existing line to one of these plans after buying an eligible 5G phone also makes customers eligible. Additionally, switching home internet to Verizon's 100% fiber-optic Fios Home Internet plans, select premium Verizon Home Internet options, or premium Frontier Fiber tiers (1G, 2G, 5G, or 7G) qualifies for the deal. For existing Verizon Home Internet and Simplicity customers, a standalone subscription to NFL Sunday Ticket is available for $234, or the bundle with NFL RedZone for $276.
Beyond the ticket offer, Verizon is introducing Verizon Shine, a new loyalty program component that provides customers with chances to win exclusive experiences. Each week during the NFL season, customers can enter for opportunities like an all-expenses-paid 5-day trip to see the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints in the first NFL game in Paris, with entries starting the week of August 3. The My Verizon app will feature daily surprises and football fan rewards throughout the year. The Verizon Loyalty Program also eliminates activation and upgrade fees and offers Verizon Dollars, where customers earn 3% cash back monthly.
This announcement underscores Verizon's focus on leveraging sports content to drive customer engagement and loyalty. By bundling NFL Sunday Ticket with connectivity plans, the company aims to differentiate its services in a competitive market. The Verizon Shine program further incentivizes customer retention through experiential rewards.
