YouTube TV might be getting cheaper in 2026, but there’s a catch

In the US, there are a number of live TV streaming options — such as DirecTV, Sling TV, Fubo, and Hulu+ Live TV — but YouTube TV remains one of the biggest and most popular. The main drawback for cord-cutters, however, is price. The base plan starts at $83 per month, a steep jump from the $35 monthly fee it launched with in 2017. To make the service more affordable and attract more users, Google may finally introduce changes that users have been waiting years for.
