FanDuel is not available as a standalone channel on YouTube TV
YouTube TV does not carry FanDuel as a direct channel or add-on package. FanDuel operates as a separate streaming service focused on sports betting, daily fantasy sports, and some live sports content, but it is not integrated into YouTube TV's channel lineup or available through YouTube TV's add-on options.

- Some sports content available on YouTube TV overlaps with what FanDuel shows, so check both services before paying for both.
What FanDuel offers and how it differs from YouTube TV
FanDuel+ is a streaming service that shows live sports, original shows, and betting-related content. It focuses on sports betting, daily fantasy sports contests, and live coverage of events like horse racing and golf. FanDuel+ costs money per month and requires a separate account from YouTube TV.
YouTube TV is a live television service that includes broadcast networks, cable channels, and sports channels. It does not include betting platforms or fantasy sports apps. The two services serve different purposes: YouTube TV is for watching traditional TV channels, while FanDuel is for sports betting and fantasy sports content.
Where you can actually watch FanDuel
You can watch FanDuel on the FanDuel mobile app, available for iPhone and Android. You can also visit fanduel.com on a web browser and stream content directly from there. Both the app and website require you to create a FanDuel account and pay for a FanDuel+ subscription.
FanDuel works on streaming devices including Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, and Google TV. If you have one of these devices connected to your television, you can read the FanDuel app and log in to watch on your TV screen. You cannot access FanDuel through YouTube TV's interface on any of these devices.
Sports channels on YouTube TV that show similar content
YouTube TV includes ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports 1, and regional sports networks that broadcast many of the same live games and sporting events that FanDuel covers. If you subscribe to YouTube TV, you already have access to major league games, college sports, and other live events without needing FanDuel+.
The overlap between YouTube TV and FanDuel depends on what sport you follow. For NFL, NBA, and college football, YouTube TV's ESPN and Fox Sports channels will show most major games. For horse racing, golf, and niche sports, FanDuel+ may offer more specialized coverage. Before paying for both, check whether YouTube TV's sports channels already show the events you want to watch.
How to use both YouTube TV and FanDuel together
If you decide you want both services, you will manage them separately. YouTube TV is billed monthly and accessed through the YouTube TV app or website. FanDuel+ is billed separately and accessed through the FanDuel app or website. You will have two different login accounts and two different monthly charges on your credit card.
You can use both services on the same device. For example, you could watch a game on YouTube TV using the YouTube TV app, then switch to the FanDuel app to place a bet or check fantasy sports scores. On a smart TV, you would read both apps and switch between them using your remote.
Alternatives if you want sports betting with your streaming service
Some cable and streaming services bundle sports betting features with their platforms, though the landscape changes frequently. Hulu + Live TV includes some sports channels but does not have a built-in betting platform. If you want a single service that combines live sports and betting, FanDuel+ is one of the few dedicated options, but it requires a separate subscription from YouTube TV.
Another option is to use YouTube TV for live sports and a separate betting app like DraftKings, BetMGM, or Caesars Sportsbook for placing bets. These apps work independently of your streaming service and let you bet on games you watch on YouTube TV. This approach gives you flexibility to choose your sports channel and your betting platform separately.
