YouTube TV pricing and plan overview
YouTube TV expanded beyond its former one-plan-for-everyone model in early 2026, rolling out more than 10 plans built around combinations of sports, news, entertainment, and family programming alongside its main YouTube TV plan.
Subscribers choose from predefined plans rather than selecting individual channels. YouTube TV bills its plans monthly, and subscribers can cancel at any time, with access generally continuing through the end of the current payment period.

YouTube TV offers its main plan alongside genre-based plans built around different combinations of sports, news, entertainment, and family channels. YouTube says the features available with its main plan also apply to its other current plans, including unlimited DVR, family sharing, and the standard concurrent-stream limit.
A YouTube TV family group can include the family manager plus up to five other household members, each with a personal library and recommendations. Standard service supports up to three simultaneous streams, while the optional 4K Plus add-on provides unlimited streams on the home network and three streams outside the home.
YouTube TV’s genre-based plans let subscribers choose a predefined channel package that omits categories they don’t want to pay for. For example, current options include Sports, News + Entertainment, Entertainment, and several combinations of sports, news, entertainment, and family programming. Promotional pricing and free-trial offers can vary by plan and eligibility, so check YouTube TV deals and the terms shown during signup for current offers.
