The base plan subscription for YouTube TV, the TV streaming service run by YouTube that includes live TV from over 100 broadcast, cable, and regional sports networks, as well as unlimited DVR space, is increasing from $72.99 to $82.99 due to what is said to be the rising cost of content. YouTube TV announced the news in a new support article that was posted today, one that can confirm the new price has gone into effect as of December 12, 2024. Current subscribers can go to Settings > Manage Membership > Cancel to get a deal that delays the price increase for the next six months, according to some users.
The updated price will continue to include 100+ channels, a DVR with unlimited storage, up to 6 accounts per household, and 3 concurrent streams. No additional fees are required for broadcast, HD, set-top box, or DVR. If your membership is currently paused, you’ll automatically be charged the new monthly price for YouTube TV when you unpause your membership. You can check the status of your account and view your billing date by navigating to > Settings and then Membership in YouTube TV.
