YouTube's page says the Sports Plan focuses on "30+ channels of live games, sports analysis, and news coverage." The genre plans launched on February 9, 2026, and 9to5Google reported "10+ plans" in total.

What deals are on now?

YouTube's US page listed two offers for new users on October 24, 2026:

• Main plan: "$59.99/mo for 2 months of the main YouTube TV plan (save $46), then $82.99/mo thereafter."
• Sports + News: "$49.99/mo for 5 months of Sports + News Plan (save $110), then $71.99/mo thereafter."

Both offers end on November 16, 2026. The Sports + News offer's terms say "No refunds."

What's included in every plan?

Google's help page lists what the $82.99 price covers: "100+ channels, a DVR with unlimited storage, up to 6 accounts per household, and 3 concurrent streams." It adds that "No additional fees are required for broadcast, HD, set-top box, or DVR."

Each of the 6 accounts has its own login, recommendations and DVR library, YouTube's page says. The genre plans keep unlimited DVR, multiview and the six members, 9to5Google reported.

You can pay extra for add-ons. The 4K Plus add-on streams select content in 4K, "unlocks offline recordings for available content and unlimited streams at home." Other add-ons include NFL Sunday Ticket with RedZone and HBO Max.

Is there a YouTube TV free trial?

Yes, for new users. YouTube's page offered "Try 5 days for $0" on October 24, 2026. That's shorter than it used to be. In December 2024, RouteNote reported new subscribers could try YouTube TV "for free for the first 10 days."

Which YouTube TV plan should you pick?

Start from what you watch. The Sports Plan costs $18 a month less than the main plan, and the Entertainment Plan $28 less. If you'd miss news or kids' channels, the bigger genre plans cost $11 and $13 less than the main one.

The main plan is the only one with everything, more than 100 channels. YouTube's page promises "no hidden fees, equipment rentals, or installation appointments." It's US only, and YouTube says it reaches "over 99.5% of households in the United States."

YouTube TV is live TV. If you want ad-free YouTube videos, that's YouTube Premium, a separate subscription. Our YouTube Premium price guide covers it.
