How do I activate my NFL.com Game Pass and my NFL Sunday Ticket accounts on NFL.com/activate?
Two questions for you:
- How do I activate my NFL Game Pass and Sunday Ticket Max accounts properly the first time I subscribe?
- How can I reactivate both properly the following year?
Last year, my new subscription activation seemed to work fine But I'm worried that I didn't activate everything properly the first time.
The reason why is that I recently renewed my NFL Game Pass and NFL Sunday Ticket Max streaming package on AT&T/DirecTV and ran into some issues. NFL Sunday Ticket seemed to reactivate perfectly fine, but NFL Game Pass has not. I'm very frustrated as I've been trying to reactivate my NFL GamePass account for the last two weeks. I had the NFL Sunday Ticket Max Plus account last year and renewed it for this year. The first year, it was very easy to take the activation code and use it to activate a new NFL Game Pass account. However, this year, I wanted to reactivate that account and have been unable to.
I was sent here by the Sunday Ticket support staff: http://www.nfl.com/gamepass. That did not work, unfortunately.
I tried using the new code to reactivate with the promotion code feature. I tried looking around everywhere on the website for another place to put in a promo code. I just can't seem to find anywhere to place it.
Help?

First of all, Peter Yeargin created a very helpful link walking you through how to activate your NFL Game Pass account. Read through this and see if it answers your questions.

A little-known secret of NFL Sunday Ticket is that you can purchase the streaming plan without having DirecTV if you qualify. The way to qualify is by living in an address where satellite TV would be difficult or impossible to receive. Many city/municipality addresses will qualify and definitely apartment buildings, condominiums, dorm rooms, and MDUs.
You can find out if you qualify by hitting this link:

Once you've verified that you're eligible, the next step I'd recommend is to reactivate both your NFL Game Pass Account AND your NFL Sunday Ticket account. You can do this by downloading each of the two apps from the app store for your mobile phone or tablet:
For the mobile Apps, you can just login with your userid and password. But for TV devices, you'll need to activate them separately per below.
Once downloaded, it's time to activate your Roku, AppleTV, or Amazon Fire TV/Firestick. It may also fix your activation problem by causing some backend systems to sync back up properly with your subscription from AT&T/DirecTV. Uninstall NFL Game Pass from your device and then reinstall it as an additional troubleshooting option.
NFL Game Pass Activation -
Note that you may need to visit http://nfl.com/activate instead of the longer forms of these URLs below to auth your account.
You can follow these directions to activate NFL Game Pass on your television device or I'm posting some of the procedures here:
Roku
Apple TV
If you purchased on iTunes, follow these steps:
That should do it. You're all activated and running on the app from there.
Amazon Firestick and Fire TV
Like Roku and Apple TV, you’ll need to purchase NFL Game Pass from its official website and match it with the NFL app. Here’s how to download the NFL app.
NFL Sunday Ticket doesn't have an activation step. You simply login to the app with your username and password and you're good to go. They track logins to make sure only one device is actively streaming at any one point and time. If you have multiple devices attempt to stream, it will stop the oldest stream almost instantly.
Hopefully, that does the trick. Let me know if you still run into issues.
I wrestled with the same problems when I renewed my AT&T DirectTv sunday ticket package. The first time I signed up, I was using a promo code to get the Game Pass piece for free. That may have contributed to the login not being activated properly.
But it sounds like you had a similar problem and didn't do that. With nfl.com, you can browse to their support page and open a ticket. Once there, you can let them know you're having issues with your nfl game pass login. They'll probably ask you for your nfl sunday ticket sign in information as well to help validate the account and make sure you've activated and paid for everything.
Once they verify your account, they will reactivate your account. I explained the situation when I called and was able to get it done quickly.
The premium package (nfl sunday ticket max) also includes NFL Redzone as well. I wish it included NFL network, but that's only if your account also includes that as part of your television package. As a Hulu subscriber, we didn't get NFL network and still don't, sadly.
Hope that gets you online and watching. You shouldn't need an auth code every time you want to watch a game!
I'm not sure how to watch NFL free but you can take subscription on ScreenVariety Tv. You should looking for it on google. I don't know how to watch it absolutely free, However I registered last week on ScreenVariety Tv for $few/yearly. Streams on ScreenVariety Tv is just amazing. I think you can't find better here. It's working on my mac and iphone. I'm not sure about linux or windows (i don't have any of them) but I think it should work there too. Look for ScreenVariety Tv
