How to turn on location sharing to watch NFL Sunday Ticket & other Primetime Channels on YouTube?

The NFL Sunday Ticket provides access to regular season National Football League (NFL) games that are not available on local broadcasts in your region.

This is particularly valuable for individuals who are on the move or simply wish to watch games that they care about.

If you want to watch specific sports, shows, and stuff on YouTube Primetime, you have to turn on the location-sharing option on your device.

Why verify the location sharing to watch Primetime shows?

The answer to this question lies in the fact that some of the content cannot be accessed without knowing the user’s exact location.

Geo-restrictions are primarily implemented to comply with content distribution rights and regional regulations. So sharing your location is the only way you’ll be able to watch Primetime channels on YouTube.
