*** CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this article, published on May 31, we incorrectly stated that YouTube TV was removing NFL Network from its sports plan starting June 29. In fact, NFL Network will continue to be available as part of the main YouTube TV plan and any Sports Plan for the foreseeable future. ***
Don’t worry, YouTube TV subscribers. NFL Network isn’t going anywhere.
YouTube confirmed to Decider that, despite erroneous reports that NFL Network would no longer be available on select plans, the channel will remain on the streamer’s main plan as well as the Sports Plan for the upcoming NFL season.
Earlier this year, YouTube TV introduced a collection of genre-based plans aimed at viewers who wanted a more targeted experience than the traditional cable-style bundle. The Sports Plan is designed for fans interested primarily in live games, highlights, and sports analysis, offering access to channels including ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, NBA TV, and local broadcast stations in select markets.
YouTube TV’s full base plan, which includes NFL Network, currently costs $82.99 per month ($67.99/month for the first three months), and the Sports Plan is available for $64.99/month (or $54.99/month for your first 12 months). The special Sports Plan offer ends on June 30.
The best part? YouTube TV offers a free trial!
The NFL Network tends to air a slew of preseason games, as well as several regular-season matchups. The network’s 2026 regular season coverage begins in Week 4 (October 4, 2026) when the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders collide in Tottenham at 9:30 a.m. ET.
The NFL season officially begins on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, when the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots on NBC.
