What Is the Current NFL Sunday Ticket Case Status?
The NFL Sunday Ticket antitrust case is still active, but there is no settlement, claim form, or money available now. A jury returned a $4.7 billion residential verdict and a roughly $96 million commercial verdict in June 2024, but the district judge later set the verdict aside and entered judgment for the NFL.The subscriber classes appealed. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument in March 2026. The outcome of that appeal will determine whether any part of the verdict or case is revived.

What Does the Lawsuit Allege?
