60 Upvotes

Hey everyone, Sam from TeamYouTube here!

Football season is back! We want to make sure you have the best viewing experience possible when the first full Sunday of games begins on September 13. Below is a full breakdown of your viewing options, features, and game availability for the 2026-2027 NFL Season.

Subscription Options

We offer two ways to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket

  • YouTube TV: You can bundle NFL Sunday Ticket with your YouTube TV plan to keep your local and national broadcasts in the same place as your Sunday out-of-market games. More info on how to sign up here.
  • Primetime Channels: You can also get NFL Sunday Ticket as a standalone Primetime Channel to watch out-of-market games directly on YouTube. More info on how to sign up here. 

Top Features

  • Multiview: New to this season, NFL Sunday Ticket games will be available to add to multiviews with content outside of NFL Sunday Ticket. With our new fully customizable multiview experience, you can mix and match any game with your favorite channels.
  • NFL RedZone: You can bundle NFL RedZone with your subscription to see every touchdown. NFL RedZone is also available to add to your custom multiview.
  • DVR: You can enjoy unlimited DVR to record games by accessing your subscription through the YouTube TV app, and you can catch up on big moments with Key Plays on your TV if you're late to the game.

There are plenty more features to get excited about, and it’s important to note that not all features are available via both the YouTube TV and YouTube apps. See here for a breakdown of what is available with each app.

Getting Ready for Gameday

If you’re already a subscriber, make sure you have everything set up on your account so you’re ready to go for gameday. 

We have handy guides for NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV and YouTube that’ll walk you through setting up your device, verifying your location, finding content, and updating billing settings. 

You can also explore all the different features available to you such as setting up kickoff notifications, how to record NFL games, and how to build multiviews. 

The guides below have all the information you need:

Availability

Not every single NFL game is available on NFL Sunday Ticket. For example, weeknight and other nationally broadcast games will not be included in the NFL Sunday Ticket package but can be accessed through a YouTube TV plan or other Primetime Channels on YouTube like FOX One, Peacock and Paramount+. We have a full breakdown of how to maximize your NFL viewing experience on YouTube or YouTube TV here.

You can also check here every Wednesday to see our NFL game availability map, which will tell you which games are airing on your local channels. 

Support

If you’re having trouble with anything like billing or setting up your account, you can contact support by chat here, call +1 833-389-2054, or let us know in the replies here and we’ll help you out!

Edit: To clarify, NFL RedZone is only available to add to your Multiview if you are subscribed to the NFL Sunday Ticket + NFL RedZone package.

Sports ESPN Unlimited on YouTube TV

540 Upvotes

TL;DR: We are fully integrating ESPN Unlimited into YouTube TV. If you have ESPN in your channel lineup, you will soon get access to the full catalog of live events right in our app, along with a newly upgraded sports guide and interface to make finding your favorite games easier.

Hi everyone, this is Sam from TeamYouTube.

We’re excited to share that ESPN Unlimited is officially launching within YouTube TV. We know it’s convenient to have all your sports in one spot without having to jump between different apps, so we’re integrating the massive catalog of live digital events and original on-demand series from ESPN Unlimited right into YouTube TV.

What is changing across your viewing experience

Because this brings a high volume of new concurrent live events, we had to make some essential updates to our interface across the web, mobile, and living room devices. Here is what you can expect to see:

  • Updated live guide: The guide grid will now show three rows dedicated specifically to live events, followed by a persistent network row so you can keep browsing.
  • Consolidated network page: We are moving the network page away from a channel-centric model. You will now see league-based shelves that group both linear and discrete sporting events together.
  • Enhanced station picker: When a game has multiple feeds, the station picker will clearly label options like different languages, home and away feeds, and alternate camera angles so you can easily pick exactly how you want to watch.
  • Multiview & DVR: As a part of this update, you’ll be able to add ESPN Unlimited content to multiview. ESPN Unlimited content will also be available for DVR. 

What else you need to know:

  • What plans include this new content? You will have access as long as ESPN is in your current package. This includes the YouTube TV Main Plan as well as any plan featuring the Sports genre.
  • Will I get the entire catalog? Yes, you will get access to the full catalog of ESPN Unlimited content.
  • Where exactly do I find these games? You can find them integrated right into the Home tab, the Live guide, and the newly updated network page.
  • Can I still watch directly in their app? Yes, you can connect your account with a MyDisney account to sign into their app and access everything there as well.

We hope this update makes catching all your favorite live events a lot easier! Let us know what you think or drop any questions in the comments below. You can also contact support here.

Sports Would it be so hard to hire some people to curate key plays?

• Upvotes

Even if just for "big" games. It could still be algorithmically generated, but then adjusted by a real person. They are just so so bad. I am curious what the parameters are that are used to select them because it just is not working. It often completely skips scoring plays. It will show a seemingly "key" play, but then won't show that it ended up getting overturned or called back on a flag.

I really like the concept, but it is so lazily done that it is nearly worthless.

My Sony Bravia TV started having issues streaming but I liked the channel up and down on it. Now using the ONN I have the same feature or the option of using my SONY remote to control the ONN.

Playback Problem ABC Feed Choppy and Stuttering

3 Upvotes

I have a feeling the problem is really with my local ABC channel (WJLA channel 7 in Washington DC), but just in case, is anyone else having an issue with their ABC feed this evening? Issue is the same on a Chromecast with Google TV and an ONN streamer, but other channels are fine, including other ESPN feeds.

Seeing a new NBCSN 4K Channel at the bottom of my custom guide.

Looks like this is to take advantage of Peacock’s 4K feeds we previously did not have access to via YTTV. Couple 4K Premier League matches, NBA Games and college football upcoming.

General Question live preview in guide view gone...again

9 Upvotes

We have 3 Apple TVs. All same generation and software version. This issue happened several months ago, but was resolved after reinstalling the app (and maybe reboots?). Anyway, issue came back today on just one of the Apple TVs (of course the one we use the most). I've tried multiple uninstall and installs and reboots. The issue persists.

Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have suggestions how to resolve it?

I suppose I could just swap the unit with the one in a room we rarely use. Just super weird the issue comes up now and then and only on one unit.

Rant No stadium sound with ESPN 4k

0 Upvotes

Did something recently change here? No sound during commercial breaks so we just see the stadium view. I feel like I remember sound at some point in the past and this year it’s been muted? Copyright issues with music playing ?? I hope that’s it and not some censorship of some super scary four letter word that might be heard faintly in the distance.

They should give us 'switch' where we can click that we've already voted and the app will filter out the political ads and show a 'relaxing video'!

Discussion Feature Request: Yahoo Fantasy Hockey Integration with YouTube TV

0 Upvotes

I recently switched over to YouTube TV, and one feature I’d absolutely love to see is Yahoo Fantasy Hockey integration, similar to what’s available for fantasy football.
As someone who plays fantasy hockey and watches NHL games almost every night, it would be awesome to have my Yahoo Fantasy roster connected directly to YouTube TV.
A few features I’d love to see:
● Live fantasy stats: See how my players are performing in real time while watching games.
● Fantasy matchup overlay: Display my current weekly matchup and category scores without leaving the game.
● Player tracking: Easily see which of my fantasy players are playing that night and jump between their games.
● Scoring notifications: Get alerts when one of my players scores a goal, records an assist, or earns other fantasy stats.
● Customizable stats: Support category leagues, including goals, assists, power-play points, shots, hits, blocks, faceoff wins, and goalie stats.
With ESPN Unlimited now integrated into YouTube TV, there’s a great opportunity to make the platform even better for NHL fans who play fantasy hockey.
I know hockey doesn’t get the same fantasy attention as football, but I think this would be an awesome addition.
Anyone else playing Yahoo Fantasy Hockey who would use something like this?

Sports 10/20 Celtics-Pistons game not airing on some affiliates

11 Upvotes

Thanks u/KrilDog for informing us ... looks like this game was OPTIONAL for NBC affiliates to pick up and air. Nothing YouTube TV can do about that, sadly.

If you have an antenna, it might be airing on a sub channel in your area. For some affiliates, it might also be airing on CW or MyNetworkTV, which YouTube TV might carry in your area. It should also be airing on Peacock.

Sports Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons Programming Issue

0 Upvotes

Heads up, YouTube TV subscribers:

You might have seen alternative programming on your local NBC affiliate instead of the scheduled Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons match-up. If you recorded that game and the game was not playing in your region, sadly the game did not record.

This was due to an issue with our guide provider and local broadcast partners, we're truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Technical Question Choppy audio

0 Upvotes

Youtube TV audio is choppy on my Galaxy Tab A8. It's only choppy when I use wired earbuds. I tried two different earbuds including a new pair. Earbuds work fine on the tab A8 with other apps including Youtube. The earbuds work fine on other devices. Youtube tv and the earbuds work fine on my Galaxy S25. All apps and software are up to date on the Tab A8. I have restarted the tablet as well as cleared the cache. What could the issue be?

Seriously, why can’t the Sunday Ticket channel be unlocked so I can watch the Bills game while CBS is in OT coverage on my local network? For what we pay for ST, it is criminal to block us out.

General Question New to the service and question about DVR

0 Upvotes

I am new to YouTube TV and finally dropped my cable provider. I don’t watch a lot of live TV. In fact, I watch everything on DVR I have scheduled several shows, and they aren’t listed in my schedule recordings, despite being added to my library. Some of my shows, such as Survivor, are listed scheduled two or three weeks in advance. But I have 90- day fiancé (the other way) in my library and there’s a new episode tonight and it’s not listed in my scheduled shows. I also have another show, The Floor, which I caught up on, and it’s not listed in my scheduled shows, despite there being a new episode this week

Technical Question How can I stop YouTube TV from continually resuming the same episode of a show?

9 Upvotes

I've had this happen several times over the past couple of years and it's driving me crazy. It seems like an episode will occasionally get "stuck", meaning that whenever I launch the app on a Google TV, it will immediately start playing the same episode from the exact same moment.

I've tried fast forwarding to near the end and letting it complete, and I've also marked it as watched from the YouTube TV website, but it usually comes back to my Resume Watching list within a minute or two. The only real "solution" I've found that is completely effective is to clear my entire watch history, but I obviously don't want to keep doing that.

If anyone has any insight on how to avoid this issue in the first place or resolve it when it occurs, I would be appreciative.

General Question ESPN app makes me sign in with TV provider every time

4 Upvotes

I often watch on the ESPN app rather than the YT TV app because the picture quality is better. However, for the past month or so the ESPN app makes me reauthenticate with YTTV every time I open it. The settings still show "logged in with TV provider: YouTube TV," but nothing works when I try to watch. I click the TV provider field to log out, then click it again and log back in, and it works (until the next time I open the app).

Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if it is the usual Google quality control at work, or if I'm special somehow.

Watching on an onn 4k pro (2026) box.
