What’s on YouTube TV? Get the full channel list now
YouTube TV channels shift with surprising frequency. Recent removals and fresh additions have left many viewers checking what actually streams today. This guide focuses on the current main plan lineup, recent changes, and the smaller bundles that now sit alongside it.
Current main plan size
The main plan still carries roughly 140 channels in most markets. That figure includes broadcast locals and the usual national networks that make up the bulk of live viewing. Viewers who want the full slate pay $82.99 a month after any introductory promo.
Channel counts can move by a handful depending on ZIP code. The service claims coverage for more than 98 percent of U.S. households, so most homes see the same core list plus their local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, and The CW feeds.
Unlimited DVR, three simultaneous streams, and multiview remain standard. Those features have not changed since the price bump earlier this year.
September 2026 removals
On the last day of September, Court TV, Tastemade, and The Young Turks left the service. Any recordings from those channels were wiped at the same time.
The cuts were modest in number but hit specific audiences: true-crime viewers, food and travel fans, and political commentary watchers. Alternatives for those shows now sit on free ad-supported platforms or rival live-TV apps.
No other major exits have been announced, and the rest of the main plan has held steady since the Disney carriage talks wrapped earlier in 2026.
New channels added this summer
July brought four niche networks through an Allen Media Group deal. HBCU Go, Cars.TV, Pets.TV, and TheGrio now appear in the main plan at no extra cost.
The additions filled small gaps in lifestyle and cultural programming. They also signaled that YouTube TV continues to court smaller content owners even as it trims other low-viewership titles.
These four channels sit outside the top-20 most-watched list, yet they broaden the service’s reach among younger and minority households that have historically cord-cut first.
Local channel availability
Broadcast locals remain the biggest variable. A quick ZIP check at tv.youtube.com/welcome shows exactly which ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, and CW stations each address receives.
In most cities the full set of commercial and non-commercial locals appears. Some rural ZIP codes still miss one or two stations, a situation unchanged from earlier years.
Spanish-language locals such as Telemundo and Univision are also ZIP-dependent and usually appear alongside the English feed when carriage deals exist.
Sports Plan details
The Sports Plan launched earlier in 2026 at $64.99 a month. It keeps the same locals and adds ESPN networks, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, and most major conference channels.
Subscribers trade away lifestyle and general-entertainment networks for the lower price. Unlimited DVR and multiview still apply, so sports fans lose little day-to-day convenience.
Early feedback on social platforms suggests cord-cutters who only watch live games find the plan sufficient, while households that want nightly procedurals still pick the main plan.
Entertainment Plan details
The Entertainment Plan costs $54.99 and focuses on FX, Bravo, Hallmark, Comedy Central, HGTV, and Food Network. It drops most sports channels except locals that carry occasional games.
The lower price point targets viewers who rarely watch ESPN or FS1. Many households pair this plan with an NFL Sunday Ticket or standalone league app when football season arrives.
Both genre plans keep the same account limits and cloud DVR, so switching between them does not require re-recording shows.
Premium and niche add-ons
NFL RedZone arrives via the Sports Plus add-on for $10.99 a month. Entertainment Plus bundles Max, STARZ, and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME for $29.99.
A new Discovery+ add-on at $11.99 brings unscripted library titles plus NASA footage. Individual niche services such as Shudder or MGM+ can be added for as little as $1.99 each.
4K Plus, priced at $9.99, unlocks higher-resolution streams and unlimited home streams. Most viewers skip it unless they own a compatible television and care about live sports in 4K.
Spanish-language options
The standalone Spanish Plan carries more than 28 Spanish networks for viewers who want that focus at a lower monthly rate. Spanish Plus adds another 25 channels on top of any base plan for $14.99.
These packages include both U.S. Spanish-language locals and popular cross-border networks. Pricing and channel counts have stayed consistent since the bundles debuted.
Households that speak both languages sometimes keep the main plan and add Spanish Plus only during key soccer tournaments or award shows.
Next steps for viewers
Channel lists change, but the current mix of main plan, genre bundles, and add-ons gives most households a workable path. Checking the ZIP tool first, then comparing the Sports or Entertainment Plan against the full lineup, shows whether YouTube TV still fits.
