A Los Angeles federal jury has ordered the National Football League (NFL) to pay nearly $4.8 billion in damages over antitrust violations relating to its “Sunday Ticket” programming.

The verdict was delivered in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California on June 27 after less than a day of deliberations.
