RedZone costs $10.99 per month as an add-on to YouTube TV

RedZone is not included in any YouTube TV base plan. You must pay the standard YouTube TV subscription first, then add RedZone separately for $10.99 per month. This is the only way to watch RedZone through YouTube TV — you cannot buy RedZone alone without a YouTube TV account.

The $10.99 charge appears on your YouTube TV bill each month and renews automatically unless you cancel the add-on. You can turn it on or off at any time without affecting your base YouTube TV subscription. The charge hits your payment method on the same day each billing cycle.

What YouTube TV base plans cost before adding RedZone

YouTube TV's base plan is $72.99 per month. This price has changed in the past and may change again. The base plan includes over 100 channels plus YouTube TV's cloud DVR storage that lets you record programs and watch them later.

When you add RedZone at $10.99 per month, your total comes to $83.98 per month. Some households share a YouTube TV account, which spreads the cost across multiple people, though YouTube TV's terms of service restrict account sharing to members of your household only.

How to add or remove RedZone from your YouTube TV account

To add RedZone, open YouTube TV on any device, go to Settings, select Memberships, and choose RedZone. You will see the $10.99 monthly charge and a confirmation button. Click to confirm, and RedZone becomes available when ready on all your devices.

To remove RedZone, return to Settings, select Memberships, find RedZone, and choose Cancel. Your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle, and you will not be charged again. Your base YouTube TV subscription continues without interruption. If you cancel mid-month, you keep RedZone access through the end of that billing period.

What RedZone includes and when it airs

RedZone shows live NFL games every Sunday during the regular season and playoffs. It focuses on the most important plays and moments across all games happening at the same time, rather than showing one complete game from start to finish. This means you see touchdowns, field goals, and critical plays from multiple games simultaneously.

RedZone airs from September through early January during the regular season. Playoff games are included through the Super Bowl. RedZone does not air preseason games or Monday or Thursday night NFL broadcasts — those appear on other channels included in your base YouTube TV plan, such as ESPN and NFL Network.

Comparing RedZone cost across streaming services

RedZone costs $10.99 per month on YouTube TV. On Hulu with Live TV, RedZone costs $9.99 per month as an add-on, making it the cheapest option for RedZone alone. On Sling TV, RedZone is included in the Sports Extra add-on, which costs $11 per month and includes other sports channels beyond just RedZone.

The base subscription cost differs across services, so the total monthly bill varies significantly. YouTube TV's base is $72.99, Hulu with Live TV is $76.99, and Sling TV starts at $40.99. Your choice depends on which channels you want overall, not just RedZone pricing. If you only care about RedZone and want the lowest total cost, Sling TV with Sports Extra ($40.99 + $11 = $51.99) is cheaper than YouTube TV with RedZone ($72.99 + $10.99 = $83.98).

When RedZone charges appear on your bill

RedZone charges appear on your YouTube TV bill on the same day each month. If you add RedZone on the 15th, you will be charged $10.99 that day, then again on the 15th of every month after that. If you cancel RedZone before the next billing date, you will not be charged again, and your access continues through the end of the current cycle.

YouTube TV bills through Google Play or your credit card on file, depending on how you set up your account. You can view all charges in your YouTube TV account settings under Memberships and Billing. This page shows your RedZone charge separately from your base subscription, making it straightforward to see exactly what you are paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch RedZone without YouTube TV?

No. RedZone is only available as an add-on to YouTube TV. You must have an active YouTube TV subscription to purchase RedZone. Other streaming services like Hulu with Live TV and Sling TV offer RedZone as separate add-ons to their own base plans, so you have options if you prefer a different service.

Does RedZone work on all devices?

RedZone works on any device that supports YouTube TV, including phones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV. Your account settings control how many devices can stream at the same time, not the add-on itself.

Can I cancel RedZone during football season?

Yes. You can cancel RedZone at any time. If you cancel before your next billing date, you will not be charged again, and your access ends at the end of your current billing cycle. You can add it back later if you change your mind.

What if I only want RedZone for the playoffs?

You can add RedZone whenever you want and cancel whenever you want. Many people add it in January for playoff games and remove it after the Super Bowl. You will only pay for the months you have it active.

Is there a free trial for RedZone on YouTube TV?

YouTube TV does not offer a free trial for RedZone as an add-on. You pay the full $10.99 per month starting when ready when you add it. Some promotions on the base YouTube TV subscription may include a trial period, but those do not extend to add-ons.
