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.
