Here are the requirements to sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan:
- Be 18 years of age or older.
- Be enrolled as a student at an accredited college or university.

NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan features
So what do you get with your NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan? Pretty much everything that you would get with the regular NFL Sunday Ticket package.
That includes access to all Sunday regular season out-of-market games airing on Fox and CBS starting with week 1 (September 8). Preseason games, postseason games, games available in your local market and nationally televised games are not available through NFL Sunday Ticket.
But for the games you can watch, there is a multiview feature that allows you to watch up to four games simultaneously and you can replay game highlights with the key plays feature.
A benefit to NFL Sunday Ticket being on YouTube is that there is no two-year contract needed to sign up and you can watch on any connected device.
Something that you cannot do with NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan, however, is watch on multiple devices, as the plan only includes one signed-in device and one concurrent stream at a time.
