*YouTube TV is set to launch lower-cost streaming packages in early 2026, shifting away from its traditional all-in-one subscription model. The new options will let subscribers choose content based on their interests rather than paying for unwanted channels.

YouTube TV is offering a 10-day free trial plus $59.99/month for two months, making it easier for new users to try live TV.

YouTube TV is getting ready to launch two major updates that will allow you to watch multiple non-sports channels simultaneously, as well as choose from 10 new paid plans focused on a range of topics, including sports, entertainment, and news. In his annual letter to users, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan says both of these changes will arrive “soon.”

YouTube TV teased two major updates for 2026: fully customizable Multiview and new genre-based plans aimed at giving users more control.

Fortunately, there are several ways to watch the 2026 Super Bowl. If you have a cable login, the game will air on NBC. If you’re a cord-cutter, you can stream the game live on Peacock, DirecTV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or Sling TV. You can also watch this cultural event on your phone or tablet via NFL+.
