YouTube TV’s packages and pricing compared

YouTube TV's Base Plan

YouTube TV’s Base Plan is the only one it offers (other than a Spanish plan with a selection of Spanish channels). Unlike other live TV streaming services, YouTube is a streamlined service in that it doesn’t do tiered packages with higher price points and more channels. For $82.99, customers get just over 100 channels in an ad-supported package. You’ll also get three simultaneous streams and an unlimited cloud DVR. 

YouTube TV is a well-ro unded streaming service with channels that cater to everyone. There are plenty of news, sports, movies, lifestyle and entertainment channels, including some that are harder to find on other streaming services. Local channels are included, though YouTube TV is thin on regional sports networks. 

While most households would be content with a YouTube TV subscription, sports lovers would be especially pleased with what’s on offer, considering the special features and enhanced viewing, like Stats View and Key Plays view that take your games to the next level. You won’t get that anywhere else.

What channels does YouTube TV offer?
