TL;DR
- YouTube TV is increasing its price to $82.99 per month for the base plan.
- The price hike is effective immediately for new users and from January 13, 2025, for existing subscribers.
- Google cites the rising cost of content as the reason for the increase.
YouTube TV last increased its prices in March 2023, when the streaming TV service went from $65/month to $73/month. Now, YouTube TV is raising its prices once again, going up to a steep $83/month for new and old customers alike.
As Google highlights in a support article, the company is raising prices for YouTube TV, citing the rising cost of content. The new price for a YouTube TV Base Plan is $82.99 per month, with the change going into effect immediately for new users. For existing subscribers, the change will take effect from January 13, 2025, so you can get one more month at the previous rate of $73 before you are forced onto the higher price.
The service says that the updated price will continue to include more than 100 YouTube TV channels, a DVR with unlimited storage, up to 6 accounts per household, and 3 concurrent streams. No additional fees are required for broadcast, HD, set-top box, or DVR. Note that if you have a promotional price for the base plan, that promotion will remain unchanged.
This announcement comes days after YouTube’s X (formerly known as Twitter) account refuted rumors of a price increase that was accidentally leaked by a Verizon ad. The post refuting the price increase has now been deleted.
