Summary created with AI assistance · Source: independent.co.uk
- A jury of five men and three women found that the NFL violated antitrust laws by distributing non-local Sunday afternoon games through a single premium distributor, suppressing consumer choice.
- The class action covered 2.4 million residential subscribers and 48,000 businesses who paid DirecTV for the package from 2011–2022, with awards of $4.7bn to residential claimants and $96m to commercial claimants and potential treble damages up to $14.39bn.
- Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NHL structure out-of-market offerings across cable, satellite and streaming, with MLB and the NBA providing team-by-team options, the NBA offering pay-by-game, and the NHL’s U.S. package included via ESPN+.
- Post-trial motions are scheduled for July 31, the NFL has said it will appeal to the Ninth Circuit and possibly the Supreme Court, and payment or changes to the Sunday Ticket package will be stayed until all appeals conclude.
What happened here, at least according to the jury, was that the NFL had really suppressed consumer choice. Not only did they steer the consumers towards using satellite TV, it meant that they had to buy the whole package.— Christine Bartholomew, vice dean and professor in the University of Buffalo's School of Law
