YouTube TV Add-On Pricing

YouTube TV add-ons range from $7 to $23 per month, depending on which channels or services you want to add to your base subscription. The most common add-ons are sports packages, movie channels, and international content bundles. Prices can change, and YouTube sometimes runs promotional rates for new subscribers, so the cost you see when you sign up may differ from what existing members pay.

Each add-on is billed separately on your YouTube TV bill. You can add or remove them at any time without penalty, and changes take effect when ready. If you cancel an add-on mid-month, you typically get a prorated credit for the unused portion.

Key Takeaways

  • Sports add-ons like NBA League Pass and MLB.TV cost between $15 and $23 per month and let you watch out-of-market games.
  • Premium movie channels such as HBO Max, Showtime, and Starz each cost $7 to $16 per month depending on the service.
  • International and specialty packages range from $7 to $15 per month and include content in Spanish, Korean, and other languages.
  • You can stack multiple add-ons or remove them whenever you want, and your bill updates when ready.

Sports Add-Ons and Their Costs

Sports packages are the most expensive YouTube TV add-ons. NBA League Pass costs around $15 to $23 per month depending on whether you want out-of-market games or a full season pass. MLB.TV, which shows out-of-market baseball games, runs about $15 per month during the season. Prices for these sports services are set by the leagues themselves, not YouTube, so they can vary year to year.

If you want to watch golf, you can add the PGA Tour Live package. Specialty sports channels like GOLFTV and others may also be available as add-ons, though availability shifts based on broadcasting rights. Check your YouTube TV account to see which sports add-ons are currently offered in your region.

Premium Movie and Entertainment Channels

Movie channels are cheaper than sports add-ons but still add up if you subscribe to several. HBO Max costs around $7 to $16 per month through YouTube TV, depending on whether you choose the ad-supported or ad-free version. Showtime runs about $11 per month, and Starz costs roughly $9 per month. These prices match what you would pay if you subscribed to each service separately.

Cinemax, which shows movies and original series, typically costs $10 to $12 per month. The Movie Channel and Flix are lower-cost options at around $6 to $8 per month. If you already subscribe to one of these services outside YouTube TV, you may not need to pay again through YouTube — check your existing subscriptions first.

International and Language-Specific Packages

YouTube TV offers add-ons for Spanish-language content, Korean programming, and other international channels. The Spanish-language package, which includes channels like Univision, Telemundo, and regional options, typically costs $7 to $10 per month. Korean content packages run about $7 to $15 per month depending on the bundle.

These packages are useful if your household watches content in multiple languages or if you want access to news and entertainment from specific countries. Availability varies by region, so not every package may be offered where you live. You can check what international add-ons are available by opening your YouTube TV settings and browsing the add-ons section.

How to View and Manage Your Add-Ons

To see all available add-ons and their current prices, open YouTube TV on any device and go to your account settings. Look for the "Memberships" or "Add-ons" section — the exact label depends on your device. You will see a list of all add-ons YouTube TV currently offers, along with the monthly cost for each one.

When you add an add-on, it appears on your next billing cycle. If you add it mid-month, you will be charged a prorated amount for the remaining days. To remove an add-on, go back to the same settings menu and select "Remove" or "Cancel." The add-on will stop at the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged again.

Bundling Add-Ons vs. Paying Separately

YouTube TV does not offer a discount for buying multiple add-ons together — you pay the full price for each one. However, some add-ons themselves are bundles. For example, a Spanish-language package might include five channels for one monthly price, which is cheaper than paying for each channel individually if they were sold that way.

Before adding multiple services, compare the total cost to what you would pay if you subscribed to them outside YouTube TV. Sometimes it is cheaper to keep a separate subscription to a streaming service than to add it through YouTube TV, especially if you already have a family plan elsewhere. The math changes depending on which services you want and whether you may have access to for any discounts.

Promotional Pricing and Changes

YouTube occasionally offers promotional rates on add-ons, especially for new subscribers. These deals might include a free month of an add-on or a discounted rate for the first few months. Promotional pricing is temporary and will revert to the regular price once the promotion ends, so check your billing settings to see when the discount expires.

Add-on prices are not fixed and can increase over time. YouTube TV notifies you by email if an add-on price goes up, usually giving you a few weeks' notice. If you do not want to pay the new price, you can remove the add-on before the increase takes effect. Prices also vary by region and can depend on whether you are a new or existing subscriber.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I try an add-on for free before paying for it?

YouTube TV sometimes offers free trials on add-ons, but this varies. Check the add-on's description in your account settings to see if a trial is available. If no trial is listed, you will be charged the full monthly price starting when ready.

What happens if I cancel an add-on mid-month?

You will receive a prorated credit for the unused portion of that month. The credit applies to your next billing cycle or can be used toward other YouTube TV charges. The add-on stops working at the end of your current billing period.

Do add-on prices ever go down?

Prices typically stay the same or increase over time. YouTube TV rarely lowers add-on prices, though promotional discounts for new subscribers do happen. Check your account periodically to see if any add-ons you want are currently on sale.

Can I share an add-on with other people on my YouTube TV account?

Yes. Anyone with access to your YouTube TV account can watch content from any add-on you have purchased. The add-on is tied to your account, not to a single device or person, so all household members can use it.

Are YouTube TV add-ons the same price as subscribing directly?

Usually yes, but not always. Some services charge slightly different rates depending on whether you subscribe through YouTube TV or directly. Compare the price in your YouTube TV settings to the service's own website before deciding which way to pay.
