YouTube TV extended its $75 discount through August 2026
YouTube TV has quietly extended its biggest 2026 promotion, giving eligible new subscribers $15 off per month for five months—a $75 total savings. The deal drops the Base Plan from $82.99 to $67.99 monthly and now runs through Monday, August 31, 2026, letting cord-cutters lock in discounted live TV well into the year.
Key Takeaways
- YouTube TV extended its $75 new-subscriber discount through August 31, 2026.
- Eligible first-time customers pay $67.99 per month for five months instead of $82.99.
- The offer includes a free trial and covers football season, fall premieres, and major live events.
- No annual contract is required—you can cancel whenever you want.
- Existing subscribers and some settlement-eligible customers face different paths for savings.
If you have been waiting to ditch cable or try a new live TV provider, the timing just improved. Cord Cutters News reports that YouTube TV renewed one of its strongest promotions of the year without a loud announcement—exactly the kind of quiet extension that rewards shoppers who keep an eye on streaming and TV alerts.
With NFL preseason, college football, MLB playoffs, and fall broadcast returns on the horizon, the extended window arrives when many households are rethinking their TV bills.
Who qualifies for the YouTube TV discount?
The promotion is limited to eligible new customers who have not previously subscribed to YouTube TV. If you are signing up for the first time, you can claim $15 off each month for your first five billing cycles.
That is distinct from a separate legal matter affecting longtime users. According to WGN-TV, subscribers who paid for YouTube TV between April 1, 2019, and March 31, 2026, may qualify for a cash payment from a $50 million Disney antitrust settlement tied to rising live-TV streaming prices. Claims in that case are due by September 8, 2026.
How much can you save with this YouTube deal?
For qualifying new subscribers, YouTube TV's Base Plan falls from $82.99 per month to $67.99 per month during the promotional period. Spread across five months, that equals $75 in total savings before standard pricing resumes.
You also receive a free trial when you sign up. Once the five-month window ends, the service returns to its regular $82.99 monthly rate unless you cancel.
What does YouTube TV include at the promo price?
The discounted Base Plan is not a stripped-down tier. YouTube TV bundles more than 100 live channels, unlimited cloud DVR storage, Multiview, six household accounts, and local ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC stations in most markets.
There are no equipment rentals, installation appointments, or annual contracts. Optional add-ons such as NFL Sunday Ticket remain available for out-of-market Sunday football. The service works across smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, phones, tablets, and browsers.
Why act before August 31?
Streaming discounts of this size rarely stay open for months. Because the offer now runs through the end of August, you have several weeks to enroll before it disappears.
Locking in five discounted months now could carry you through much of the rest of 2026 at a lower rate—making this one of the stronger cord-cutting opportunities likely to surface this year.
