The channel packages that are available in DIRECTV Stream (formerly known as AT&T TV) vary depending on the plans that are chosen by the consumers. As the NFL season begins, a common question among many football enthusiasts is whether the NFL RedZone channel is available on the platform.
What is NFL RedZone?
For the uninitiated, NFL RedZone is a game-day channel that offers live look-ins and updates on all the games being played in the NFL on Sundays during the regular NFL season. RedZone just moves from game to game, as it shows teams that are in the red zone or are going to score. This is preferred by enthusiasts of the fantasy football league and other football lovers who wish to see all the action.
RedZone is its unique channel and is not on local CBS, Fox, NBC, or ESPN broadcasts. The idea is to supplement those game broadcasts and show the best live moments that football enthusiasts could not watch otherwise.
Does DIRECTV Stream Carry NFL RedZone?
However, it is noteworthy to mention that NFL RedZone is available on the DIRECTV Stream service at the moment. However, it is not always present in programs and many programming packages do not have it.
NFL RedZone comes with the DIRECTV Stream Choice, Ultimate, and Premier plans.
The Entertainment package does not come with NFL RedZone.
As such, ensure that you cross-check to ensure that you choose one of the correct packages if you want to access RedZone for the football season.
What's Included in DIRECTV Stream Packages with NFL RedZone?
Here's a quick overview of what else you get with the DIRECTV Stream packages that include NFL RedZone:
Choice Package ($89. 99/month) – More than 90 channels with local broadcast networks, CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, NFL, and many others.
Ultimate Package ($104. 99/month) – Over 140 channels with 30+ sports channels including NFL RedZone, MLB Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, etc.
Premier Package ($149. 99/month) – All the channels in DIRECTV Stream (over 150) with Showtime, Starz, Cinemax, and more sports.
As you have noticed, the packages that cost more are way more open to providing more sports content besides NFL RedZone. However, it is for you to determine whether you will be comfortable with the higher monthly subscription fees required to access these channels.
Every package comes with a cloud DVR, streaming on 20 devices at once, and unlimited streaming at home. DIRECTV Stream has a list of compatible streaming devices on its official website.

So to answer the question, yes, NFL RedZone comes with certain DIRECTV Stream plans in 2022.
