Ever wanted to pick and choose the channels you get on YouTube TV rather than paying $82.99 per month for everything? That option is coming this week with YouTube TV Plans.

The live TV streaming service will offer a combination of 10+ options over the next several weeks, including entertainment, family, news, and sports. Each of them will be priced differently, with discounts based on other packages you add.

The most expensive plan is Sports at $64.99 per month, with access to FS1, NBC Sports Network, and all ESPN networks. It’ll also include ESPN Unlimited when it launches later this year. If you’re a new customer, you can get Sports for $10 cheaper for the first three months.

If you want to add a News plan onto Sports, it’ll cost $71.99 per month, or $56.99 for three months for new users. That adds Bloomberg, CNN, CNBC, CSPAN, Fox Business, Fox News, and MSNBC. YouTube has yet to announce the cost of the News plan on its own.

The Entertainment package is the cheapest YouTube TV plan with a confirmed price, offering access to channels like Bravo, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, Paramount, and more. It costs $54.99 per month or $44.99 per month for three months for new users.

If you want to bundle News, Entertainment, and Family into one service, you can get access for $69.99 a month or $59.99 a month for new users for the first three months. That adds Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and other children’s favorites.

YouTube has yet to reveal the standalone price of its Family plan, but the small price increase over the standard Entertainment plan suggests it may be cheaper than other options. To help you figure out how much you might spend, YouTube is adding a comparison menu to the app.

The plans include access to other YouTube TV features, such as unlimited DVR, support for up to 6 other members, multiview, the option to add on additional services, and a 10-day free trial for each plan.
