Early next year, we’ll launch YouTube TV Plans, bringing more choice and flexibility to our subscribers with over 10 genre-specific packages.

One package that we know our customers will be excited for is the YouTube TV Sports Plan. The Sports Plan will offer fans access to all the major broadcasters as well as sports networks like FS1, NBC Sports Network, all of the ESPN networks, as well as ESPN Unlimited. Subscribers can include add-ons like NFL Sunday Ticket and RedZone, and keep all fan-favorite features, including unlimited DVR, multiview, key plays, and fantasy view.

TV should be easy, giving viewers greater control over what they want to watch. Our goal is to let you tailor your subscription with more options. Whether you stick with our main YouTube TV plan with 100+ channels, focus on sports, combine sports and news, or select a plan centered on family and entertainment content, subscribers will be able to easily choose the plan that works best for them.

We have a lot in store for YouTube TV members next year and can’t wait to share more soon!

Viewers can now access live C-SPAN coverage on YouTube TV, beginning today.

To further increase accessibility of civic content, YouTube is also proud to sponsor C-SPAN’s America 250 programming, which starts early next year.

Expressive captions are now available on YouTube videos in English across all devices, providing our viewers a more immersive content experience by displaying the intensity of speech in all caps, expressions of sounds like sighs and gasps, as well as noises from the environment.

YouTube videos in English uploaded after October showcase these expressive captions, and we’ll continue rolling this feature out on more videos.

Expressive captions use AI to communicate things like tone, volume, environmental cues and human noises from the audio playing on a device.
