YouTube TV announced plans to introduce new genre-specific bundles last year to give users the flexibility to choose and pay for the content they actually want to watch. Four of these bundles are currently available in the US, and the platform plans to launch 10 more bundles across sports, news, entertainment and family content in the coming weeks.
YouTube TV recently announced the launch in a blog post, highlighting the content and pricing included in the introductory bundle. The basic sports plan, priced at $64.99 per month, gives subscribers access to all major broadcasters along with sports networks such as FS1, NBC Sports Network, and all ESPN networks. Subscribers will also have access to ESPN Unlimited this fall.
The Sports + News plan includes everything in the Sports plan, along with national news networks like CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, CSPAN, Bloomberg, and Fox Business. The price is $71.99 per month. The cheapest entertainment plan of the four costs $54.99 per month and includes content from all major networks and content, "from FX dramas to Hallmark classics, including channels like Comedy Central, Bravo, Paramount, Food Network, HGTV, and more.”
Finally, the News + Entertainment + Family plan, priced at $69.99 per month, combines news and entertainment channels with family content like Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, National Geographic, Cartoon Network, PBS Kids, and more.
YouTube TV bundles offer great discounts, especially for new subscribers.
All four bundles are priced less than the basic YouTube TV plan, the platform’s most comprehensive offering with more than 100 networks across genres. For those who haven’t previously subscribed to YouTube TV, the bundle is available at a discounted price.
The Sports plan is available for $54.99 per month for the first year, while the Sports + News, Entertainment, and News + Entertainment + Family plans are available for $56.99, $44.99, and $59.99 per month for the first three months, respectively.
