YouTube TV remains a strong option for sports fans despite recent changes. The service costs $82.99/month and still offers unlimited DVR storage plus the 4K Plus add-on for $10/month, though 4K is limited to select content. New subscribers can get NFL Sunday Ticket for $30/month, while existing subscribers pay $47.25/month. ESPN Unlimited is now fully available to Sports Plan subscribers, adding college football and out-of-market NHL games.
However, YouTube TV is losing Tastemade, Court TV, and The Young Turks starting September 30, with saved recordings deleted. This follows the end of the Disney blackout that affected ABC and ESPN last November. While over 100 channels remain, the Sports + Entertainment package offers over 70 channels for $11 less per month.
Alternatives include Hulu + Live TV at $99/month with Disney+ and ESPN Select included, and DirecTV's streaming service starting at $20.99/month. Despite the price increase from $72.99 to $82.99 earlier this year, YouTube TV is still cheaper than most cable setups and $20+ less than the priciest Sling plan.
