The new lineup features more than 10 distinct plans, categorized around popular viewing preferences: Sports, News, Entertainment, and Family. These plans range in price from $54.99 to $71.99 per month, offering savings of $11 to $28 compared to the standard YouTube TV subscription cost of $82.99 per month.

Still Packed With Perks
Don’t worry, the features you love about YouTube TV aren’t going anywhere. The new plans still include unlimited DVR storage and the ability to share your account with up to six household members. Popular add-ons like NFL Sunday Ticket, HBO Max, and 4K Plus remain available for purchase.
What’s the best way to save on YouTube TV? New subscribers can take advantage of extended introductory pricing, with discounts lasting up to a year depending on the plan chosen.
The rollout of these new plans begins this week, giving viewers more control over their entertainment spending. YouTube TV has come a long way since its launch in April 2017, when it debuted at a price of $35 per month. Over the past nine years, the cost has steadily increased, most recently jumping from $72.99 to $82.99 per month in December 2024.
YouTube TV is accessible on a wide range of devices, including Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad.
