What live sports are on YouTube TV?
What sports can you watch on YouTube TV?
YouTube TV does have one sports property that viewers can’t watch anywhere else: NFL Sunday Ticket. The only way to watch this service is with a YouTube TV subscription or by signing up for it on a standalone basis through the YouTube TV Primetime Channels store.
NFL Sunday Ticket is the league’s out-of-market games service. It offers all out-of-market NFL games appearing on CBS and Fox on Sunday afternoons, though it won’t provide viewers with any games on national channels or streaming services like Sunday, Monday, or Thursday night contests.
The regular price for NFL Sunday Ticket in 2025 is $480 for the season for customers who don’t sign up for YouTube TV, or $378 for those that do keep a YouTube TV subscription alongside it.
Does YouTube TV offer sports channels?
Yes, YouTube TV comes with national sports channels including ESPN and ESPN2, FS1 and [FS2][Fox Sports2]TNT, and USA Network. It also comes with NFL Network and NBA TV in its base package, as well as ACC Network, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, and CBS Sports Network. That means viewers can watch a wide range of college sports found on these channels, as well as NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB games, and a lot more.

YouTube TV even carries a selection of regional sports networks, including NBC Sports RSNs from coast to coast, and the Monumental Sports Network. It does not offer FanDuel Sports Network channels, and has a more limited selection than some other services.
Does it cost extra to watch live sports on YouTube TV?
No, you don’t have to pay extra to watch any live sports included in the YouTube TV base plan. You can pay extra to add NFL Sunday Ticket to your subscription, and you can also sign up for the Sports Plus add-on for $11 per month to get more sports networks with your subscription. You can also add other sports-related services such as NBA League Pass to your subscription through YouTube TV Primetime Channels, but these options do cost extra.
Does YouTube TV offer sports in 4K?
YouTube TV comes with the 4K Plus add-on as well, which costs $10 per month. With it, you can stream any 4K content offered by linear channels included in your package. Fox, for example, sometimes provides its sports content in 4K, and you can use YouTube TV to watch that content with the 4K Plus add-on.
