You can remove RedZone from YouTube TV in your account settings in about two minutes

RedZone is an add-on channel you pay extra for each month — it's not part of your base YouTube TV package. To stop paying for it, you go to your YouTube TV account settings, find the add-ons section, and turn RedZone off. The channel disappears from your guide when ready, and you won't be charged for it in your next billing cycle. You don't need to contact customer support or cancel your whole YouTube TV account.

The process works the same way on any device: phone, tablet, computer, or TV. Once you remove it, RedZone is gone from every device connected to your account at once, since they all share the same subscription.

Key Takeaways

  • RedZone is a paid add-on to YouTube TV, separate from your base subscription, and costs extra each month during the NFL season.
  • You remove it by opening YouTube TV on any device, going to Settings, selecting Memberships and add-ons, and clicking Remove next to RedZone.
  • The channel stops appearing in your guide right away, but you remain charged through the end of your current billing period.
  • You can add RedZone back at any time using the same Settings menu if you change your mind.
  • If you remove YouTube TV entirely, all add-ons including RedZone are automatically canceled with it.

Step-by-step: removing RedZone on any device

Start by opening YouTube TV on whichever device you use most — phone, tablet, computer, or TV. The steps are the same everywhere. Look for the profile icon or menu button (usually in the top right corner) and tap or click it.

From the menu that opens, select Settings. Then look for Memberships and add-ons — this is where YouTube TV lists everything you're paying for beyond your base subscription. You'll see RedZone listed there with a monthly price next to it. Click or tap the Remove button next to RedZone. YouTube TV will ask you to confirm that you want to remove it. Confirm, and you're done. The channel vanishes from your guide within seconds, and you won't see a charge for it on your next bill.

What happens to your bill after you remove RedZone

You remain charged for RedZone through the end of your current billing cycle, even after you remove it. If your billing date is the 15th of each month and you remove RedZone on the 10th, you'll still pay for those five remaining days. Starting on the 15th, RedZone won't appear on your bill.

Your base YouTube TV subscription continues unchanged. Removing an add-on doesn't affect your main package or any other add-ons you might have, like Max or Paramount+. Each add-on is independent, so you control them separately.

How to add RedZone back if you change your mind

You can turn RedZone back on anytime using the same Settings menu. Go to Settings, select Memberships and add-ons, and look for the option to add RedZone. It will show the monthly cost and the date your charge will begin. Click Add, confirm, and it reappears in your guide within seconds.

This is useful during the NFL season if you want RedZone for specific weeks or months. Many people remove it after the season ends and add it back the following fall. YouTube TV sometimes offers promotional pricing on RedZone for the first month or first few weeks of the season, so check your Settings menu in late August or early September to see if a discount is available.

Removing RedZone vs. canceling YouTube TV entirely

Removing RedZone keeps your YouTube TV account active with all your other channels and recordings. You pay only for your base package going forward. This is the right move if you want to keep YouTube TV but don't want to pay extra for RedZone.

If you want to cancel YouTube TV completely, RedZone and every other add-on are canceled automatically. You won't be charged for any of them after your final billing date. But canceling YouTube TV is a separate process from removing RedZone — removing RedZone alone does not cancel your account.

Why RedZone might not show up in your guide after removal

After you remove RedZone, it takes a few seconds to a few minutes for the channel to disappear from your guide on all your devices. If you're watching on multiple devices, refresh the YouTube TV app or restart it to see the change right away. If RedZone still appears after an hour, sign out of YouTube TV completely and sign back in. This forces the app to sync with your account settings.

If it still shows up after signing out and back in, contact YouTube TV support — this is rare, but it can happen if there's a sync delay between your devices and YouTube's servers. Support can manually refresh your account settings and confirm the removal went through.

RedZone availability and timing

RedZone is only available during the NFL season, which runs from September through early February. Outside that window, you won't see the option to add it in your Settings menu. If you removed RedZone in February and want it back in September, you'll need to add it again when the season starts.

Plan your removal for a few days before your billing date if you want to minimize the unused time you're paying for. Since YouTube TV does not offer refunds for partial months, you'll pay through the end of your billing cycle no matter when you remove the add-on during that period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will removing RedZone affect my other YouTube TV add-ons?

No. Each add-on is independent. Removing RedZone doesn't touch Max, Paramount+, or any other add-on you have. You control each one separately in your Memberships and add-ons settings.

Can I remove RedZone from my TV but keep it on my phone?

No. RedZone is tied to your YouTube TV account, not to individual devices. When you remove it, it's gone from every device you use. All your devices share the same account and the same add-ons.

What if I remove RedZone mid-month and want a refund for unused days?

YouTube TV does not offer refunds for partial months. You pay through the end of your billing cycle regardless of when you remove the add-on. Plan your removal for a few days before your billing date if you want to minimize the unused time.

Does removing RedZone delete my recordings or saved shows?

RedZone is a live sports channel, so there's nothing to record or save. Removing it straightforward stops the channel from appearing in your guide. Your recordings and saved shows from other channels are unaffected.

Can I remove RedZone through the YouTube TV website instead of the app?

Yes. Go to tv.youtube.com, sign in, open Settings, select Memberships and add-ons, and remove RedZone the same way. The website and app are synchronized, so it doesn't matter which one you use.
