YouTube TV Channels: Live, Local, Sports, and Add-ons
YouTube TV has 100+ live channels—are your favorites among them? Find out with my channel guide.
How many channels does YouTube TV have?
Over my seven years covering YouTube TV, it has always stood out in the live TV streaming landscape. While at first glance the YouTube TV base plan’s channel lineup of 100+ live entertainment, kids, news, and sports networks looks similar to a basic cable package, a closer look reveals a key difference: There’s no filler.
But even with its impressive channel list, YouTube TV isn’t perfect. Keep scrolling, and I’ll give you a deeper look at every YouTube TV channel lineup, including the new Sports Plan, the new Entertainment Plan, and premium add-ons.
YouTube TV channels
As I mentioned earlier, YouTube TV gets rid of the bloat. Unlike traditional cable TV providers, the service has no endless shopping channels (well, there’s QVC) or music channels. Instead, you get a solid, curated selection of popular channels, including Comedy Central, Paramount Network, ESPN, Disney Channel, and USA Network.
YouTube TV also includes local affiliates for ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC. It’s also one of only two live TV streaming services (along with DIRECTV) to carry both PBS and PBS Kids.
Cord-cutters should know that some popular networks are missing, such as Lifetime, A&E, HISTORY, and VICE—channels you can find on other services like Philo. Overall, though, I think you’ll be pretty happy with this list of networks.
Not only that, but as of early 2026, YouTube TV has more than one plan. Below, our editors have manually verified the channels available with each one. (The YouTube TV website didn’t make that easy.)

Sports channels on YouTube TV
While YouTube TV isn’t the best live TV streaming service for sports, you still get a good selection of sports networks that compares favorably with those of most traditional cable and satellite TV providers.
Basketball, football, and soccer are well covered, but baseball and hockey fans will lament YouTube TV’s lack of MLB.TV and NHL.TV. If that’s a dealbreaker for you, DIRECTV and Fubo have both networks—along with regional sports networks (RSNs; extra fee applies).
Also, if you wanna save $20 per month, the new YouTube TV Sports Plan might be your star player.
