Yes, there is an NFL Sunday Ticket bar near Nevada City. Sherwood, at 111 North Pine Street downtown, carries the package. Sunday Ticket shows the out of market Sunday afternoon games, the ones your local CBS and FOX stations do not carry. Out here those games kick off at 10 AM and just after 1 PM, so call to check Sunday hours first.
This post is for the fan who moved here and kept the old team. You came for the trees and the quiet. You did not come to miss every game your team plays. Here is how to see them.
What does NFL Sunday Ticket show at a bar near Nevada City?
It shows the Sunday afternoon games that are not on your local channels. Bars and restaurants get it through a business license, sold by EverPass and its partners. Here is what that means for you.
- Shows: Sunday NFL games that start in the afternoon back East and are not on TV where you live.
- Skips: games on the local CBS or FOX station, the big night games, NFL Network games, and some games played overseas or sold online only.
- Kickoff here: 10:00 AM for the early games and 1:05 or 1:25 PM for the late games, per the NFL schedule.
- When: the weeks of the main season. Not the preseason, and not the playoffs.
So Sunday Ticket is not a key to every game. It is a key to the games you could not see before. For a fan whose team plays two time zones away, that is the one that counts.
Is your team out of market here?
It depends on the week. Each Sunday, the CBS and FOX stations in our area show a few games. Those are local. Every other Sunday afternoon game is out of market, and that is the pile Sunday Ticket pulls from.
Say you grew up in Ohio and you still bleed for a team there. On a Sunday when their game is not on local TV here, Sunday Ticket is how you see it. Google posts maps each week that show which games air where, on its Sunday Ticket help page. Look for Northern California.
Which games are not on Sunday Ticket?
The big night games and the playoffs are not on it. The night games air on national TV, so you do not need the package to see them. Here is the full picture, using the TV deals in the NFL's schedule release.
| Game | On Sunday Ticket? | Where it airs |
|---|---|---|
| Out of market Sunday afternoon game | Yes | Sunday Ticket |
| Sunday afternoon game on local TV | No | Local CBS or FOX |
| Sunday Night Football | No | NBC |
| Monday Night Football | No | ESPN |
| Thursday Night Football | No | Prime Video |
| Playoffs | No | Check each game |
The good news for fans out West: the night games start at 5:15 or 5:20 PM here. That is dinner time. If your team draws a night game, you can eat a real meal while you watch.
What about our Sunday hours?
Here is the honest part. Our listed hours have the bar opening at 4 PM, and the Sunday Ticket games start well before that out here. Do not just show up at 10 AM in your jersey. Call (530) 265-9093 during the week and ask what time we open on Sunday, and check the visit page for current hours.
How do you get your team on a screen?
Plan a day or two ahead. Five screens is a good number, but on a busy Sunday many fans want many games. These steps help.
- Find your game on the NFL schedule and note the time. Take three hours off the Eastern time.
- Check the maps to see if your game is local here or out of market.
- Call us during the week. Ask about Sunday hours and tell us the game you want.
- If you are bringing friends, book a booth. Groups of 4 to 15 can ask for a screen of their own.
- Order food before kickoff. Then sit back and suffer like a real fan.
The game day menu has wings, sliders, nachos and the French Dip. Our visit page lists 12 craft taps, and we make mocktails for the driver. Football is a long day. Pace yourself and plan the ride home. The full list is on the menus page.
Questions people ask
Does NFL Sunday Ticket show playoff games?
No. Sunday Ticket is for the main season, on Sunday, and that is it. Playoff games are not part of it. Check the NFL schedule to see where each one airs.
Do you have NFL RedZone?
RedZone is sold to businesses as a separate add on to Sunday Ticket. Ask us whether it will be on before you come in for it.
What if my team is on local TV that Sunday?
Then you do not need Sunday Ticket for that game. It is on the local CBS or FOX station. Ask the bartender or call to check which screen will have it.
Can I book a booth for my team's game?
Yes. Groups of 4 to 15 can ask for a booth with a screen of their own. Call (530) 265-9093 or use the contact page, and wait for us to confirm before you tell the group chat.
