The NFL faced a significant setback on Thursday when it was ordered to pay nearly $4.8 billion in damages for breaching antitrust laws in a class-action lawsuit concerning the pricing of DirecTV’s “Sunday Ticket” packages.
A Los Angeles jury unanimously determined that the NFL colluded with DirecTV, CBS, and Fox to inflate the pricing of this premium product.
After about five hours of deliberation over two days, the jury decided that the league owes $4.7 billion in damages to the residential class and $96 million to the commercial class.
Under federal laws that triple damages in antitrust cases, the NFL could be liable for up to $14.1 billion.
An NFL spokesperson commented, “We are disappointed with the jury’s verdict today in the NFL Sunday Ticket class action lawsuit. We maintain that our media distribution strategy, which includes all NFL games broadcast on free over-the-air television in the markets of the participating teams and the national distribution of our most popular games, supplemented by various additional options such as RedZone, Sunday Ticket, and NFL+, is the most fan-friendly model in sports and entertainment. We will certainly contest this decision, as we believe the class action claims are baseless and without merit. We thank the jury for their time and service and appreciate Judge Gutierrez's guidance throughout the trial.”
The lawsuit affected 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses that paid for the package of out-of-market games on DirecTV from the 2011 through 2022 seasons.
