What is this lawsuit about?

This lawsuit involves NFL Sunday Ticket, an out-of-market sports viewing package that provides NFL regular-season games unavailable on local television affiliates.

Plaintiffs Robert Gary Lippincott, Jr., Jonathan Frantz, Ninth Inning Inc. d/b/a The Mucky Duck, 1465 Third Avenue Restaurant Corp. d/b/a Gael Pub, filed this lawsuit on behalf of themselves and proposed classes (defined below), claiming that the Defendants harmed competition and violated federal antitrust law. Defendants deny any wrongdoing and contend that their actions have promoted competition. The Court has not decided whether any laws were broken.

On February 7, 2023, the Court determined that Plaintiffs’ claims against the Defendants could proceed as a class action. There is no money available now and no guarantee there ever will be. However, if you are a member of the certified classes as described in the Notice, your legal rights and options are affected, and you have a choice to make now.

Who is included in the Class?

The Court has certified two damages classes and two injunctive-relief classes in this litigation (together, “the Classes”), comprised of residential subscribers and commercial subscribers to Sunday Ticket.

Damages Classes:

  • Residential Damages Class: All DIRECTV residential subscribers that purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket at any time between June 17, 2011 and February 7, 2023.
  • Commercial Damages Class: All DIRECTV commercial subscribers that purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket at any time between June 17, 2011 and February 7, 2023.

Injunctive Classes:

  • Residential Injunctive Class: All DIRECTV residential subscribers that purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket at any time between June 17, 2011 and February 7, 2023.
  • Commercial Injunctive Class: All DIRECTV commercial subscribers that purchased the NFL Sunday Ticket at any time between June 17, 2011 and February 7, 2023.
