YouTube TV is a monthly streaming subscription for live and on-demand TV from broadcast and cable networks, with local channels, sports and news across the U.S.
Savings here come from picking the right plan and catching its intro price: the Main plan runs $82.99 a month, while the Sports + News and Sports plans cost less.
All plans come with unlimited cloud DVR space, separate logins with their own recommendations and libraries for as many as 6 household members, and 3 simultaneous streams. Sports viewers get multiview for following as many as 4 games at the same time, plus key-plays and live stats views. There are no annual contracts or installation, and YouTube TV says there are no extra charges for equipment rental, recording, broadcast access or cancelling.
Extras are sold as add-ons: 4K Plus for 4K viewing on select content, unlimited streams at home and offline recordings; premium networks such as ALLBLK, MGM+ and Shudder; an Entertainment Plus bundle with STARZ, HBO Max and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME; Sports Plus with NFL RedZone; and extra Spanish-language networks. NFL Sunday Ticket, which carries Sunday afternoon NFL games outside the viewer's local market, is a separate purchase that needs an active YouTube TV plan.

YouTube TV shipping, returns and perks
Plans
Main is $82.99/month for 100+ channels, Sports + News $71.99/month for 50+, and Sports $64.99/month for 30+, all billed monthly.
Free trial
New subscribers can try YouTube TV free for 21 days, enough to test the channel lineup on your own devices.
Fees
YouTube TV charges no box rental, DVR, broadcast or cancellation fees, and you can cancel anytime.
Refunds
Cancelling costs nothing, but there are no refunds for partial billing periods, so unused days in a month are lost.
Household
Every plan includes unlimited cloud DVR storage and up to 6 individual household accounts.
NFL Sunday Ticket
It costs extra on top of the base subscription and requires an active YouTube TV plan.
YouTube TV's current deals are intro prices shown on the site, not codes you type into a box.
The Sports + News plan drops to $49.99/mo for the first 5 months, which saves $110, and the Main plan is $59.99/mo for the first 2 months, saving $46.
Both are time-limited, and after the intro months the plan returns to its regular monthly rate.
Whether an intro price follows the 21-day free trial isn't stated, so read the plan page before you sign up.
Add-ons and other genre plans are priced separately and add to whatever intro price you get.
More ways to save at YouTube TV
Plan choice moves the bill more than anything else.
If you mostly watch games, the Sports plan at $64.99 sits well below the Main plan's $82.99.
Up to 6 household accounts share each plan, with unlimited cloud DVR, so the whole household runs on the same subscription.
Since partial billing periods aren't refunded, cancel near the end of a billing cycle rather than early in it.
