• YouTube TV is launching over 10 new genre-specific plans in early 2026. • The sports plan delivers major networks, FS1, NBC Sports, all of ESPN, plus access to ESPN Unlimited. • Other options include news, family, and entertainment packages tailored to specific interests.
Streaming was supposed to help people cut the cord and save. But as live TV bundles got more expensive, that promise faded. Now, YouTube TV is trying something new.
Starting in early 2026, the service will move away from its one-size-fits-everything model and roll out a lineup of à-la-carte plans built around what people actually watch. So, instead of forcing everyone into a single, pricey base plan — currently $82.99 per month — YouTube TV is launching over 10 genre-specific packages.
