YouTube TV breaks free from cat videos and influencers to let you stream live TV. With more than 100 channels, everyone in the family will find something to like about Google’s streaming service. Best of all, YouTube TV lets more people stream the national networks’ local stations than any other cable-replacement service.
If you want to preview what’s airing live on YouTube TV, you can visit our live streaming tv guide.
Before we start, we want to highlight a fan favorite streaming service. Philo is one of the best options for streaming 60+ live lifestyle and entertainment channels—including AMC, Discovery, Hallmark, and the Food Network.
What features do you get with the YouTube TV Base Plan?
YouTube TV offers a Base Plan. This gives subscribers access to more than 100 channels (including live and local TV), plus the option to add extra networks at an additional charge.
Your subscription will include advanced features like unlimited cloud DVR recording, independent profiles for 6 people on one account, and support for 3-device simultaneous streaming.
Subscribers who only want to watch Spanish-language content can try YouTube TV’s Spanish Plan.

Some of these channels are college and professional sports networks that are only available regionally. Although YouTube TV has excellent local support across the United States, not all of the stations in your market may be available to live stream. The same is true for your Regional Sports Networks (RSNs).
Go to YouTube TV and enter your zip code in their channel directory to see the full list of local and regional channels that are available in your area.
