The YouTube TV deal has been extended, just in time for the fall sports season. The current offer is the best deal we've seen on a live TV service so far this year, and new customers have a little extra time to cash in on the limited-time sale.

This is $15 a month off, or 18% off, for first-time customers. There are also deals on YouTube TV's Sports plan, along with other packages, which we'll dig into below.

YouTube TV is one of the top services in the live TV streaming game, and this offer ranks among some of the best streaming deals we've seen this year.

FAQ

When does the YouTube TV deal end?

The YouTube TV Main plan deal ends on November 26, 2026. The offer originally kicked off on January 1, 2026.

How do you sign up for the YouTube TV deal?

It's easy to sign up for the YouTube TV deal. For the main plan, just make sure to click through one of our YouTube TV links to ensure you're accessing the full five-month offer (navigating to the YouTube TV sign-up page through other means, like Google, will only show you a three-month offer).

Once you click through, you can check the plans and channels that are available to you in your ZIP code. You can start the sign-up process by clicking the big blue "Try It Free" button, which will prompt you to choose a Google account to sign in with.

Does YouTube TV have a free trial?

YouTube TV offers a free trial for new users, so you can try out the service for multiple days before you're charged for your first month, giving you time to decide whether it's a good fit. YouTube TV's free trial varies in length, so you should check to see what's available to you when you go to sign up. We've seen trials ranging from five to 21 days.

Are there other YouTube TV plans and deals?

YouTube TV also offers genre-specific packages tailored to sports, news, and entertainment. The Sports plan comes with 30+ channels and costs $65 a month, but new users can get $20 a month off their first six months of service for a limited time. The Sports deal concludes on September 30, 2026, so it has a slightly shorter timeframe than the Main plan offer.

What channels are available on YouTube TV?

As we mentioned above, pretty much every channel you'd find in a standard cable package is available through a YouTube TV subscription. That includes robust local channel coverage (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) and cable networks.

In YouTube TV's Main plan, some of the most notable channels available include AMC, Bravo, CNN, Disney Channel, ESPN, FS1, FS2, Fox News, FX, MTV, NFL Network, TBS, TNT, truTV, and USA. In the Sports plan, some of the top channels include ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FS1, FS2, ION, SEC Network, TNT, TBS, truTV, and T2.

Does YouTube TV have any notable features?

YouTube TV offers unlimited DVR, multiview, and the ability to create up to six household accounts and stream on up to three devices at a time. For additional monthly fees, you can sign up for one of the platform's add-ons.

Are there other live TV streaming services?

YouTube TV is just one of several live TV streaming services on the market. Other popular month-to-month options include DirecTV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and Philo. Each streaming service offers something different in terms of channel availability and pricing.
