Quick Answer: YouTube TV’s Base Plan carries 100+ live channels (roughly 130 to 148 depending on your market) for $82.99 a month. That covers your local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS and Telemundo, plus ESPN, the Disney family, TNT, USA, CNN, Fox News and plenty more, with unlimited DVR and up to 6 accounts. In early 2026 YouTube TV also added cheaper genre plans for Sports, Entertainment, News, Family and Spanish (and a few combinations of those), starting around $54.99 a month, so you can pay for only the categories you actually watch. Because it streams, there are no channel numbers. Every channel is one tap away in the app. Premiums like HBO Max, STARZ, Paramount+, NFL RedZone and NFL Sunday Ticket sit on top of whichever plan you pick.
YouTube TV Plans Compared (2026)
Here is every YouTube TV plan side by side, with the standard monthly price and the rough channel count. These prices were last checked on 30 September 2026. YouTube TV also runs short offers for new subscribers that change every few weeks, so check tv.youtube.com for the current deal before you sign up.
| Plan | Price / mo | Approx. Channels | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Plan | $82.99 | 100+ | Everything in one bundle |
| Entertainment Plan | $54.99 | 55+ | Cable-style shows without the big sports bill |
| Sports Plan | $64.99 | 30+ | ESPN, FS1, NBC Sports and broadcast games |
| News + Entertainment | $62.99 | 70+ | Shows plus national and local news |
| News + Entertainment + Family | $69.99 | 85+ | Families who skip live sports |
| Sports + News | $71.99 | 50+ | Fans who also want the news networks |
| Sports + Entertainment | $71.99 | 80+ | Sports plus general entertainment |
| Spanish Plan | About $34.99 | 30+ | Spanish-language households |
The four core genre plans are Sports, Entertainment, Sports + News, and News + Entertainment + Family. YouTube TV also sells extra combinations like News + Family, Sports + Family and Entertainment + Family at similar prices. If you find yourself stacking two or three genre plans together, the full Base Plan is usually the better deal.
How to Read the Channel Lists
Every channel below carries a colored badge for each plan that includes it, so you can see at a glance whether it comes with the slimmer bundle you are thinking about. To keep things easy to scan, we badge the five plans people actually buy: Base, Sports, Entertainment, News + Family and Spanish. The combination plans like Sports + News and Sports + Entertainment simply merge those categories together. Tap any colored badge, here or in the tables below, to show only the channels in that plan. Tap it again, or choose All plans, to see the full list. The search box works on its own or together with a plan filter, so you can pick Sports and then type “ESPN” to see exactly where it lives.
| Badge | Plan |
|---|---|
| Base | The full Base Plan at $82.99 a month, the complete lineup |
| Sports | The Sports Plan, and also in Sports + News and Sports + Entertainment |
| Entertainment | The Entertainment Plan, and also in its combination plans |
| News+Family | The News + Entertainment + Family Plan |
| Spanish | The Spanish Plan |
| Add-on / not in a plan | Available only through a premium add-on, or not currently on a standalone plan |
* Local broadcast channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, The CW, Telemundo, MyTV and ION depend on your ZIP code, so not every affiliate is available in every market.
Search filters every channel table below. YouTube TV is streaming only, so there are no channel numbers. The colored badges show which plan carries each channel. Use Print / Save as PDF to keep a copy.
Full YouTube TV Channel Lineup by Category
This is the complete roster grouped by category. Base Plan channels show a green Base badge, and any channel that lives only in a genre plan or the Spanish Plan is listed in its category too, so nothing is hidden.

Channels You Won’t Find on YouTube TV
Being curated means a handful of well known networks simply are not here. This is what to know before you switch:
- A&E, HISTORY, Lifetime, LMN and the rest of the A+E family are not on the Base Plan. Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network turn up only in the standalone Entertainment Plan. If these are must haves for you, DIRECTV and Philo carry them.
- MLB Network and NHL Network are not carried on any YouTube TV plan.
- VICE, FYI, Cooking Channel, Destination America, Science, Pac-12 Network and Boomerang are not part of the lineup, though Cartoon Network is included.
Everything else a cord cutter usually wants is here, including the Disney family, the ESPN networks, Discovery, the Warner Bros. Discovery channels like TNT, TBS and truTV, NBCUniversal, and the Fox and Paramount networks, and most of it sits on the Base Plan.
Local Channels on YouTube TV
YouTube TV includes your local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and Telemundo, and in most markets it adds PBS, PBS Kids, The CW, MyTV and Univision as well. It is one of only two live TV streamers that carry both PBS and PBS Kids. Because locals are tied to broadcast rights, what you get depends entirely on your service address. Enter your ZIP code at tv.youtube.com/welcome before you subscribe to see which local stations you will actually receive. Coverage of local teams on regional sports networks is limited on YouTube TV, so if that matters to you, take a look at our guide on why streaming sports blackouts still happen.
Note: YouTube TV updates its channels, plans and pricing pretty often. The lineup above reflects the 2026 rollout of genre plans, but the exact channels and prices can change and vary by market. Always confirm the current lineup and cost at tv.youtube.com before you subscribe.
Is the YouTube TV Price the Price You Pay?
Very nearly. Unlike cable, YouTube TV does not add a broadcast TV fee or a regional sports fee to the bill, and there is no box rental, so the plan price plus sales tax where your state charges it is what you pay. The only extras are the add-ons you choose, such as 4K Plus or a premium network.
Some cable companies now sell YouTube TV in place of their own TV service. WOW! is one. It said on September 3, 2026 that its cable TV in Florida ends on or after November 13, 2026, with its other markets to follow during 2027. If that is why you are here, our WOW! channel lineup guide covers the switch dates and the discount for moving.
