It’s no secret that YouTube TV’s subscription cost has increased over time, and it may not offer enough value for the price, especially if you don’t watch a wide range of channels.

If the channels or shows you’re interested in are not available or can be accessed through other, cheaper services, it might make sense to switch.

How Much Does YouTube TV cost Right Now?

As of 2024, YouTube TV’s base plan costs $72.99 per month. This plan includes over 100 live channels, unlimited cloud DVR storage, and access to popular networks like ESPN, CNN, and major broadcast channels.

Additional Costs:

  • 4K Plus Add-On: $9.99 per month for higher resolution and more streams.
  • Premium Channel Add-Ons: Channels like HBO Max, Showtime, and Starz are available for additional fees.
  • Sports or Entertainment Packages: Specialized bundles can also be added for extra costs.

Pricing can change over time, so it’s a good idea to check directly on YouTube TV’s website for the latest rates and offers.

Final Word

In some areas, YouTube TV might lack certain local channels or sports networks, which could be a dealbreaker if you rely on it for local news or live sports.

If these or similar factors resonate with you, canceling YouTube TV might be worth considering. On the other hand, if the service aligns well with your viewing habits and budget, it might still be the right choice for you.
