YouTube TV Add-Ons Make Streaming More Personal; Here’s A List Of What’s Available

As a basic streaming service, YouTube TV still knocks many options out of the park, even if it costs $82/month. What makes it easy to use is the amount of flexibility given to users, with over 50 add-on options. They vary in price, but there’s literally something for everyone.

YouTube TV has taken some heat recently due to its seemingly regular price increases. The service went up by $10 at the beginning of the year, and not much has changed as far as offerings go. This seems to be an industry trend where streaming services are only increasing in price while offering a little extra. With that being the case, YouTube TV still offers one of the more competent experiences out there.

Add-ons personalize your YouTube TV experience

At the base price, YouTube TV offers a selection of over 100 live channels that are extremely familiar. This blend of local and national channels is similar to what you’d find in a normal cable package, and it sets a good foundation. From there, Google sets up existing content and features as “add-ons,” which are literally just added content for a monthly or yearly price.

This list even includes content from other streaming services like Max and Paramount+. On top of that, there are a lot of sports add-ons and an additional 4K Plus package, which allows you to watch in a higher resolution during compatible streams.

One of the main reasons we like how YouTube TV has set up add-ons is the simplicity of it. Even though the ability to choose is nice, switching between 10 or 15 streaming apps on your TV is genuinely annoying. The more you are able to watch from one app, the better. That being said, you have to like using YouTube TV, which isn’t the case for everyone.

YouTube TV’s add-ons

As mentioned, YouTube TV offers over 50 add-ons, each with its own pricing. Most have a 7-day free trial with one or two exceptions, so there’s no immediate commitment. In addition, most have a low monthly fee.

Here’s a list of every YouTube TV add-on and its current price:

Generally speaking, we’ve found the 4K Plus add-on and some of the streaming services to be nice additions, but a lot of the remaining channels are niche.

This list doesn’t include NFL Sunday Ticket because it’s such an expensive and significant addition to the service. That comes in at $479 at the start of the season, with the price generally dropping as less of the season remains.

Remember, YouTube TV requires the base plan in order to work at all, with the exception of NFL Sunday Ticket, and each package will be an additional cost on top of the base $82.99. The service is still offering new customer deals that bring it down to $69.99/month for 6 months.
