YouTube TV has announced pricing and details for its long-teased “skinny bundle” plans, introducing a lineup of genre-focused subscriptions designed to offer cheaper alternatives to the main service. The new YouTube TV Plans will roll out over the coming weeks, starting with sports-centric and entertainment-focused packages.
The flagship YouTube TV Sports plan will cost $64.99 per month, with a promotional $54.99 monthly rate for new subscribers during the first year. The bundle includes major sports networks such as ESPN channels, FS1, and NBC Sports Network, along with local broadcast affiliates including ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. Expanded ESPN Unlimited access is expected to arrive later this fall.
A more comprehensive Sports + News plan will bundle sports channels with major news networks like CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN. This plan will be priced at $71.99 per month, while new users will receive a temporary $56.99 monthly discount for the first three months.
For viewers less interested in sports, YouTube TV is introducing an Entertainment plan at $54.99 per month, offering networks such as Comedy Central, Bravo, Food Network, HGTV, and Paramount, alongside local broadcast channels. New customers will be able to sign up at $44.99 per month for the first three months.
Another option, the News + Entertainment + Family plan, will combine news and entertainment channels with family-oriented programming, including Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, National Geographic, and PBS Kids. This plan will cost $69.99 per month, or $59.99 during promotional pricing.
The existing main YouTube TV plan will remain available at $82.99 per month. All new bundles will include unlimited DVR, multiview support, and optional add-ons such as NFL Sunday Ticket, RedZone, HBO Max, and 4K Plus.
With more than ten targeted plans expected in total, YouTube TV is positioning itself in the growing market for flexible streaming bundles. The move follows similar offerings from competitors such as Sling, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo as streaming providers seek to attract price-sensitive viewers looking for smaller, more tailored channel lineups.
