Does YouTube TV have an ad-supported plan?
YouTube TV is always ad-supported. Its live and on-demand content includes ads, and there is no ad-free option.
What is the difference between the YouTube TV Base Plan and the cheaper genre Plans?
The Base Plan is the full channel lineup, and it is the only one with a tracked price history, so it is the one charted and quoted on this site. In February 2026 YouTube TV began adding cheaper genre Plans built around Sports, News, Entertainment and Family, sold on their own or in combinations, reaching 12 of them by March 2026. Each carries a subset of the Base Plan's channels for less money. They are listed on this page as a current price snapshot rather than charted, because they are too new to have a price history worth plotting.
Does the YouTube TV price include the 4K Plus add-on?
No. The Base Plan price is the subscription on its own. 4K Plus is an optional add-on that costs extra. The row labelled 'Base Plan with 4K Plus' shows the base plan and the add-on fee added together rather than the fee by itself, so it can be compared directly against the Base Plan row above it.
