Live TV streaming services can be confusing, with hidden fees, equipment rentals, and complicated channel lists. YouTube TV makes things easier by offering simple subscription options, no long-term contracts, and no surprise broadcast fees.
Knowing about YouTube TV plans, add-ons, and features can help you pick the best option for your household’s needs and budget.
Core subscription tiers
YouTube TV has three main base plans. You can choose one for general entertainment, sports, or Spanish-language channels.
1. Base Plan
The main YouTube TV Base Plan costs $82.99 per month and gives you access to over 100 live channels. You get major local networks like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC, plus popular cable channels such as ESPN, HGTV, TNT, TBS, CNN, and Disney Channel.
This plan is a good choice if you want to fully replace cable TV. New subscribers can often get a discount, like $67.99 per month for the first three months.
2. Sports Plan
If you mostly watch sports, news, and analysis, the YouTube TV Sports Plan is available for $64.99 per month.
This plan includes over 30 sports channels, such as major ESPN networks, national sports channels, and local sports affiliates.
It does not include general entertainment channels. New members often get a lower price, like $54.99 per month for the first year.
3. Spanish Plan
The Spanish Plan costs $34.99 per month and you do not need the Base Plan to sign up. It includes over 30 Spanish-language channels, such as Univision, Telemundo, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, and Cine Latino.
Standard features included across all YouTube TV plans
No matter which main plan you choose, YouTube TV gives you several useful features at no extra cost:
- Unlimited Cloud DVR: You can record as many live shows, movies, and sports as you want, and you will not run out of space. Your recordings stay available for up to nine months.
