WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) – A US federal appeals ​court on ‌Friday reinstated a jury’s verdict against the National Football ‌League ​in ⁠an antitrust lawsuit ⁠claiming it overcharged subscribers to its Sunday Ticket game ​telecasts for more than ⁠a decade, ⁠but said ​the league can ​have a new trial ‌on damages.

The ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th ⁠US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ⁠lower ‌court judge ⁠in California who ​had ‌thrown out ​a $4.7 billion ⁠verdict against the NFL after the trial in 2024.
