Adding NFL+ Premium Through YouTube TV
You can add NFL+ Premium directly through YouTube TV without leaving the app or website. The process takes about two minutes and appears in the same menu where you manage other add-ons like Max or Paramount+. Once you add it, you'll have access to live out-of-market games, NFL RedZone, and the full NFL+ library on any device where you're signed into YouTube TV.
The subscription costs $14.99 per month or $139.99 per year, billed through your YouTube TV account. You can cancel anytime, and the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. If you already pay for YouTube TV, adding NFL+ Premium this way is simpler than signing up separately because you won't need to create another login or manage two separate subscriptions.
Key Takeaways
- NFL+ Premium is added through the YouTube TV add-ons menu, not through a separate NFL website or app.
- The add-on costs $14.99 per month or $139.99 per year and renews automatically until you cancel.
- You can watch NFL+ content on any device where you sign in with your YouTube TV account, including phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices.
- Canceling NFL+ Premium through YouTube TV stops future charges but does not refund the current billing period.
Step-by-Step: Adding NFL+ Premium on the Web
Start by going to tv.youtube.com and signing in with your Google account. Look for your profile icon in the top right corner and click it, then select Settings from the dropdown menu. On the Settings page, find the Memberships section on the left side—this is where all your add-ons live.
Click Browse all memberships to see the full list of available add-ons. Scroll until you find NFL+ Premium and click on it. A card will appear showing the price ($14.99/month or $139.99/year) and what's included. Select your preferred billing cycle and click Subscribe. YouTube TV will confirm your purchase, and NFL+ Premium will be active when ready.
Once added, you'll see NFL+ Premium listed under your active memberships. You can now watch games and NFL+ content through the YouTube TV app or website. The content appears in the Sports section and in your library once you start watching.
Adding NFL+ Premium on the YouTube TV Mobile App
Open the YouTube TV app on your phone or tablet and tap your profile icon in the top right corner. Select Settings, then tap Memberships. You'll see your current add-ons and a button to browse more. Tap Browse all memberships to see what's available.
Find NFL+ Premium in the list and tap it to open the details card. Choose between the monthly ($14.99) or annual ($139.99) plan, then tap Subscribe. Your purchase will process through your Google account, and the add-on activates right away. You can start watching NFL content when ready without closing and reopening the app.
What You Get With NFL+ Premium
NFL+ Premium includes live out-of-market games every Sunday and Monday night during the regular season, plus playoff games and the Super Bowl. You also get access to NFL RedZone, which shows live scoring plays from all games as they happen. The service includes the full NFL+ library of original shows, documentaries, and classic games from NFL history.
All of this streams on any device where you sign in with your YouTube TV account—your phone, tablet, computer, or compatible streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, or Fire Stick. You don't need separate apps or logins. If you're already watching YouTube TV on a device, you can switch to NFL content without signing out.
Canceling NFL+ Premium
To cancel, go back to Settings and select Memberships. Find NFL+ Premium in your active memberships and click or tap the three-dot menu next to it. Select Cancel membership. YouTube TV will ask you to confirm and will tell you when your access ends—usually at the end of your current billing period.
If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until the end of that month. You won't be charged again after the cancellation date. If you change your mind, you can re-add NFL+ Premium anytime by following the same steps to browse and subscribe.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you don't see NFL+ Premium in the memberships list, make sure you're signed into YouTube TV with the correct Google account. Some accounts may have regional restrictions, though NFL+ Premium is available in all 50 states. Try signing out completely and signing back in, then check the memberships menu again.
If you're having trouble watching games after adding the service, clear your app cache or log out and back in. On the web, try a different browser or clear your browser cookies. If you're on a streaming device, unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in. These steps usually fix playback problems that happen right after adding a new membership.
If you're charged twice or see a duplicate charge, contact YouTube TV support through the Help section in Settings. Keep your order confirmation email handy—it shows the exact date and amount of each charge. YouTube TV's support team can review your billing history and process refunds if there's an error.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I watch NFL games on YouTube TV without adding NFL+ Premium?
YouTube TV includes local and national NFL broadcasts (like games on CBS, Fox, and ESPN) as part of your base subscription. NFL+ Premium adds out-of-market games, RedZone, and the NFL+ library. If you only want to watch your local team or nationally broadcast games, you don't need to add it.
Do I need a separate NFL account if I add it through YouTube TV?
No. When you add NFL+ Premium through YouTube TV, your YouTube TV login gives you access to all NFL+ content. You don't create a separate NFL account or manage two subscriptions. Everything is billed and managed through YouTube TV.
Can I share my YouTube TV account to watch NFL+ Premium on another person's device?
YouTube TV allows you to add household members to your account, and they can watch all your memberships including NFL+ Premium. Each person signs in with their own account but uses your YouTube TV subscription. If someone outside your household wants to watch, they would need their own YouTube TV subscription with NFL+ Premium added.
What happens to NFL+ Premium if I cancel my YouTube TV subscription?
If you cancel YouTube TV, all add-ons including NFL+ Premium stop working when ready. You would need to sign up for both services separately if you want to keep them. If you're only canceling NFL+ Premium but keeping YouTube TV, the base service continues without interruption.
Can I pause my NFL+ Premium subscription instead of canceling?
YouTube TV doesn't have a pause feature for add-ons. You can only cancel or keep an active subscription. If you want to stop charges temporarily, cancel the membership and re-add it later when you're ready. There's no penalty for canceling and restarting.
