YouTube TV Channel List
YouTube TV is a live TV streaming service available only in the United States and US territories. It does not assign cable-style channel numbers, so the channels below are listed by name, category, and package. Where a channel also airs on cable or satellite, the providers that carry it are shown so you can compare before switching.
Plans & what differs
Unlike services that split their lineup into competing plans, YouTube TV sells one large base plan. The choice is simpler: base plan or the smaller Spanish Plan, then add-ons on top.
- 100+ channels, the table below
- Local ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC in most US markets, plus PBS, The CW, Telemundo, and Univision where available
- Unlimited cloud DVR (recordings kept 9 months), 6 household profiles
- A smaller, cheaper Spanish-language base plan
- Nearly the same lineup as the Spanish Plus add-on (ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, TUDN, Univision family, and more)
- An alternative to the base plan, not an addition to it
Local stations vary by ZIP code, so they are described here rather than listed as table rows. The Sports Plus, Spanish Plus, and Filipino Plus channel packs are in the add-on section below. YouTube TV also sells app-based add-ons (HBO Max, STARZ, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, AMC+, Acorn TV, Crunchyroll, and many more), a 4K Plus upgrade, and NFL Sunday Ticket; those deliver app content rather than rows of linear channels, so they are covered in the questions below instead of the table. See YouTube TV for current pricing.

Common questions
Does YouTube TV include local channels?
Yes, and this is the main thing separating it from cheaper services like Philo or Frndly TV. Your home ZIP code determines which stations you get: local ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates in most US markets, plus PBS, The CW, Telemundo, and Univision where available. PBS works through local member stations, so a small number of markets go without it. Telemundo and Univision stations are locals too, while their national cable siblings, Universo and Galavisión, appear in the channel table above.
Are there cheaper YouTube TV plans?
Yes. In February 2026, YouTube TV launched over ten genre plans built around sports, news, entertainment, and family programming, all priced below the base plan and all keeping locals, unlimited DVR, and the six-profile household setup. One caution before downgrading: the genre plans are not clean slices of the base lineup. Subscribers report losing channels they expected to keep (The Weather Channel and AMC among them), and YouTube TV publishes no side-by-side channel chart, so check its plan picker against the channels you actually watch. The table on this page reflects the full base plan.
Is NBCSN back? Why is it in this lineup?
The NBCSN in the table is real and new. NBCUniversal shut the original NBC Sports Network down at the end of 2021, then revived it as a 24/7 channel on November 17, 2025, and YouTube TV was its first carrier, ahead of every cable and satellite provider. It carries Monday night NBA games, Premier League soccer, WNBA, Big Ten football and basketball, and sports talk shows that were previously Peacock exclusives.
Which popular channels does YouTube TV not have?
The A+E Networks family has never been carried: no A&E, no History, no Lifetime, in any plan or add-on. MLB Network and NHL Network are also absent, and like most live TV streamers it carries few regional sports networks, so fans of teams on MSG or YES need to look elsewhere. If the A+E channels are what you watch, both Frndly TV and Philo carry A&E, History, and Lifetime at a fraction of the price.
Why are Cartoon Network and Adult Swim listed separately?
On cable they share a single channel slot, with Adult Swim taking over Cartoon Network's channel in the evening. YouTube TV instead carries them as two separate entries in its guide, so both appear as their own rows in the table above.
Can I get just the local channels?
Not from YouTube TV: every plan, including the genre plans, bundles locals with cable networks. A free antenna remains the only way to get locals alone, and in most metro areas it pulls in dozens of subchannels too. The nearest paid option is DIRECTV's MyNews pack, which pairs national news channels with local ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX affiliates in markets where they're available.
