YouTube TV announced plans to introduce new genre-specific bundles last year to give users the flexibility to pick and pay for the content they actually want to watch. Four of these bundles are now live in the US, with the platform planning to roll out over ten bundles across Sports, News, Entertainment, and Family content in the coming weeks.
YouTube TV announced the rollout in a recent blog post, highlighting the content included in the introductory bundles and their pricing. The base Sports plan, priced at $64.99/month, will give subscribers access to all major broadcasters, alongside sports networks like FS1, NBC Sports Network, and all of ESPN networks. Subscribers ill also gain access to ESPN Unlimited this fall.
The Sports + News plan includes everything from the Sports plan, along with national news networks such as CNBC, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, CSPAN, Bloomberg, and Fox Business. It’s priced at $71.99/month. The Entertainment plan, which is the most affordable of the four, costs $54.99/month and includes all major broadcasters and content, “ranging from FX dramas to Hallmark classics, with channels such as Comedy Central, Bravo, Paramount, Food Network, HGTV, and many more.”
Finally, the News + Entertainment + Family plan, priced at $69.99/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 big savings, especially for new subscribers
All four bundles is priced lower than the main YouTube TV plan, the platform’s most comprehensive offering with over 100 networks across genres. For those who haven’t previously subscribed to YouTube TV, the bundles are available at a discount.
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 priced at $56.99, $44.99, and $59.99/month, respectively, for the first three months.
