What are the blackout rules for my local teams home games?
A regular-season, Sunday afternoon home team game will be blacked out in a home team’s territory if the game fails to sell out at least 72 hours before the game. This is to make sure that the team benefits from a stadium full of enthusiastic fans, to assure the entertainment value of a full stadium, and to protect home game attendance and local television coverage. If it is blacked out on your local broadcast station, it will also be blacked out in your area on NFL SUNDAY TICKET. Each stadium’s local blackout area is defined by the broadcast signal of the local affiliate carrying the game, not by the mileage surrounding the stadium.
