The NFL has been ordered to pay $4.7 billion in class action penalties over allegations that it artificially drove up the cost of its NFL Sunday ticket out of market streaming service.
The class action lawsuit alleged that the league violated antitrust laws by providing exclusive access to out of market games to a single company (DirecTV), affecting 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses who paid for the package between 2011 and 2020.
Damages can be tripled under antitrust laws, so the NFL could be on the hook for as much as $14.39 billion. The league is expected to file an appeal with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and potentially the Supreme Court.
