What is the YouTube TV Spanish Plus add-on?
Spanish Plus launched in May 2022 alongside YouTube TV’s standalone Spanish Plan. Unlike the Spanish Plan, which is a standalone subscription, Spanish Plus is strictly an add-on and requires an active YouTube TV subscription to purchase.
The add-on costs $14.99/mo. and layers 25+ Spanish-language channels (depending on your zip code) on top of whichever YouTube TV plan you subscribe to, including the newer genre-specific tiers like the Sports Plan and Entertainment Plan, not just the base plan. Think of it as a bilingual upgrade rather than a separate product.
How much does YouTube TV Spanish Plus cost?
Spanish Plus runs $14.99/mo. on its own, but since it requires a YouTube TV subscription, your real monthly price tag will be higher.
The YouTube TV base plan is currently priced at $82.99/mo., which puts the combined total at up to $97.98/mo. That said, you don’t have to sign up for the base plan. If you’re already subscribed to one of YouTube TV’s other full plans, like the Sports Plan, Spanish Plus can stack on top of that instead.

What’s new in the Spanish Plus lineup for 2026?
The biggest addition to the Spanish Plus channel lineup this year is Newsmax en Español, which joined in January 2026. It’s notable beyond just being a new channel: Newsmax en Español is the first U.S.-based news channel to use AI for live Spanish dubbing, making it a genuinely novel entry in the Spanish-language news space.
Beyond that addition, the broader YouTube TV ecosystem has shifted around Spanish Plus over the past year. The platform rolled out genre-specific standalone tiers — a Sports Plan and an Entertainment Plan — and the Spanish Plan is now officially recognized as one of those supported standalone tiers. Spanish Plus itself hasn’t changed in price since its 2022 launch, but the landscape it sits in looks meaningfully different heading into 2026.
Spanish Plus vs. the Spanish Plan: Which one is right for you?
The YouTube TV Spanish Plan is a standalone subscription at $34.99/mo., with no base plan required. It’s designed for households that primarily watch Spanish-language TV and have little use for YouTube TV’s English-language lineup. The Spanish Plus add-on, by contrast, is built for households where both languages matter.
Spanish Plus vs. Spanish Plan at a glance
| Details | Spanish Plus add-on | Spanish Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $14.99/mo. | $34.99/mo. |
| Total w/ base plan | $97.98/mo. | $34.99/mo. |
| English channels | 100+ | 0 |
| Spanish channels | 25+ | 30+ |
Really, these two TV packages have one key difference: Spanish Plus requires a full YouTube TV plan. Ojo: It looks like Spanish Plus offers fewer channels overall, but it has about the same number of Spanish-language channels if your full plan includes local channels like Telemundo and UniMás.

Data effective as of post date.
So, if your household watches a mix of English and Spanish programming, and you’re already paying for a YouTube TV plan, Spanish Plus makes sense. If your household primarily watches Spanish-language TV and doesn’t need 100+ English-language channels, the standalone Spanish Plan is the more cost-effective option.
Is the YouTube TV Spanish Plus add-on worth it?
For bilingual households, the value proposition is solid. One subscription, one DVR, one account, and your favorite shows and movies in both languages. The ability to record Spanish-language programming to the same cloud DVR as your English-language shows is a practical convenience that the standalone Spanish Plan can’t replicate.
The counterpoint is real, though: At up to $97.98/mo. combined, you’re approaching traditional cable pricing territory. If the primary draw is Spanish-language content, paying the full base plan price to unlock the add-on is a steep entry cost.
For a full look at what else you can stack onto your subscription, check out the complete list of YouTube TV add-ons.
How to add Spanish Plus to your YouTube TV account
Adding Spanish Plus takes about 30 seconds from inside your YouTube TV account. Here’s how:
- Open the YouTube TV app or go to tv.youtube.com.
- Select your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Go to Settings, then Membership.
- Scroll to the add-ons section and select Spanish Plus.
- Confirm your purchase.
The add-on activates immediately after purchase, and you can cancel at any time without affecting your base plan subscription.
FAQ about YouTube TV Spanish Plus
What channels are included in YouTube TV Spanish Plus?
The Spanish Plus add-on includes 25+ channels across sports, news, telenovelas, film, music, and lifestyle categories.
How much does YouTube TV Spanish Plus cost per month?
Spanish Plus costs $14.99/mo. as an add-on. Because it requires an active YouTube TV subscription, the combined cost with the base plan ($82.99/mo.) comes to $97.98/mo.
Do I need a YouTube TV subscription to get Spanish Plus?
Yes. Spanish Plus is an add-on, not a standalone plan. You need an active YouTube TV subscription — whether that's the base plan or one of the genre-specific tiers — to purchase it.
What is the difference between YouTube TV Spanish Plus and the Spanish Plan?
Spanish Plus is an add-on that layers Spanish-language channels onto an existing YouTube TV subscription. The YouTube TV Spanish Plan is a standalone subscription at $34.99/mo. that provides Spanish-language programming without requiring the base plan. Spanish Plus is better for bilingual households; the Spanish Plan is more cost-efficient for Spanish-primary viewers.

Both are optional add-ons that expand your YouTube TV channel lineup for $14.99/mo. The Sports Plus add-on focuses on premium English-language sports networks, while Spanish Plus is built around Spanish-language content across multiple genres. You can subscribe to both simultaneously if you hold a base plan.
