Local Channel Availability
All YouTube TV plans include local broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC) where available. Local channel availability depends entirely on your ZIP code, not which plan you choose. Major metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston have full local channel coverage. Some smaller markets may have limited local affiliate availability.
To check which local channels are available in your area, visit YouTube TV's sign-up page and enter your ZIP code. The site will show you exactly which local stations are included before you subscribe. This is particularly important for sports fans, as many NFL, NBA, and MLB games air on local broadcast affiliates.
YouTube TV also includes regional sports networks (RSNs) where available, but RSN availability varies significantly by market. Some markets lost RSN access when certain networks went through bankruptcy or ownership changes. Check your specific area before subscribing if regional sports coverage is important to you.
Recent Channel Lineup Changes
The biggest change to YouTube TV's channel lineup in 2026 was not about adding or removing channels - it was about reorganizing them. The February 2026 launch of genre-based plans took the existing 100+ channel lineup and divided it into category-specific packages. No channels were removed from the platform, but cheaper plans exclude channels outside their genre focus.
YouTube TV has historically been more stable than competitors when it comes to channel disputes. While Fubo lost several channels during carriage disputes and Sling has had periodic blackouts, YouTube TV has maintained most of its channel partnerships. The last major channel addition was the Turner networks (TNT, TBS) which arrived in 2018, and ViacomCBS channels (Comedy Central, MTV, BET) which arrived in 2020.
