Cable’s reign on popular culture might be winding down, but live TV streaming services are becoming more necessary than ever, especially for fans of network TV shows, sports, and news. While these packages can get pricey, YouTube TV is currently offering 18% off the first five months of service.
YouTube TV normally costs $83 a month, but new users can get $15 a month off their first five months of streaming after a free trial. The discount is available until November 26, 2026, which means that you have a few more weeks to cash in. The offer is only available if you click through our YouTube TV link (otherwise, you’ll just see a two-month deal).
We spend our days tracking deals and vetting them to see if they’re actually worth it, and not just a flashy “sale” tag. The top subscription deals offer deep discounts spread over a long period of time. With a total of $75 in savings over five months, the deal on YouTube TV’s Main plan does exactly that. This is one of the best early Black Friday streaming deals we’ve spotted, and the best sale we’ve seen on a live TV service so far this year.
We’re fans of YouTube TV because of its impressive channel selection, user-friendliness, and suite of other key features, including unlimited cloud DVR, multiview, and up to three simultaneous streams (and up to six household accounts).
The streaming platform carries 100+ channels in its Main plan, including both cable favorites and local network affiliates. Subscribers can access everything from ESPN, FS1, CNN, and Bravo to ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. The service has also integrated ESPN Unlimited content directly into YouTube TV.

FAQ
How long has the YouTube TV deal been around?
The YouTube TV deal first launched on January 1, 2026, and has been extended a few times. The current offer is scheduled to conclude on November 26.
How long is the YouTube TV free trial?
YouTube TV offers a free trial for new users, so you can try out the service for multiple days before you’re charged for your first month, giving you time to decide whether it’s a good fit. YouTube TV’s free trial varies in length, so you should check to see what’s available to you when you go to sign up. We’ve seen trials ranging from two to 21 days.
What channels are available with YouTube TV?
As we mentioned above, pretty much every channel you’d find in a standard cable package is available through a YouTube TV subscription. That includes robust local channel coverage (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) and cable networks.
In YouTube TV’s Main plan, some of the most notable channels available include AMC, Bravo, CNN, Disney Channel, ESPN, FS1, FS2, Fox News, FX, MTV, NFL Network, TBS, TNT, truTV, and USA.
Are there other YouTube TV plans?
While the Main plan is YouTube TV’s flagship subscription option, the streaming platform has also introduced other cheaper, genre-specific packages, including Sports + News.
Does YouTube TV have add-ons?
While YouTube TV’s Main plan offers most popular channels, you might find that one or two niche favorites are missing. Fortunately, you can add select channel options for an extra monthly fee. One of the most popular add-ons is NFL RedZone with Sports Plus for $10.99 a month. This add-on includes the Tennis Channel, Willow, and beIN Sports, among other niche networks.
The $29.99 a month Entertainment Plus add-on includes HBO Max, Paramount Plus with Showtime, and STARZ, and all of their related channels. 4K Plus, HBO Max Standard, Spanish Plus, and AMC Plus are among the many other add-ons.
How do you sign up for the YouTube TV deal?
Signing up for the YouTube TV deal is a simple process. For the main plan, just make sure to click through one of our YouTube TV links to ensure you’re accessing the full five-month offer (navigating to the YouTube TV sign-up page through other means, like Google, will only show you a two-month offer).
Once you click through, you can check the plans and channels that are available to you in your ZIP code. You can start the sign-up process by clicking the big blue “Try It Free” button, which will prompt you to choose a Google account to sign in with.
