YouTube TV Raises Monthly Prices Again: What You Need to Know

YouTube TV is making a change that might affect your monthly budget. Beginning on January 13, 2025, the popular streaming platform will be increasing its base plan by $10, bringing the new monthly cost to $82.99. This increase is being attributed to “the rising cost of content” and other investments, as reported by the Associated Press.

If you’re already a subscriber, or if you’re planning to join, you’ll need to adjust to the new pricing. The company has assured customers that this price change won’t affect the services you’ve come to enjoy, like access to over 100 channels from broadcast, cable, and regional sports networks, DVR storage with unlimited space, and the ability to create up to six accounts in your home with three simultaneous streams.

YouTube TV has made similar adjustments in the past to keep up with the industry. In 2019, the platform increased its cost to $50 monthly, and just last year in 2023, the price was raised to $72.99. This move aligns with similar adjustments from other streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+, and Disney+ to either add new features or update pricing.

For current subscribers who are paying discounted rates, the change won’t come into effect until after any ongoing promotional periods have expired. The company has over 8 million subscribers, according to an AP report. If you’re curious to learn more about how this change impacts you, YouTube has set up an online FAQ to address any questions or concerns you might have.
