YouTube TV’s announcement comes at an interesting time for sports streaming content and the popular trend of skinny bundles, meaning bundled content with fewer options and lower prices than traditional streaming-service groupings. Earlier this year, DirecTV introduced budget-friendly TV plans, which the service calls Genre Packs. Fubo launched its own skinny sports bundle during the summer. Apple TV will remove the paywall on all Major League Soccer events in 2026 and offer Friday Night Baseball games at no additional cost to subscribers.
Currently, YouTube TV, which is owned by Google, costs subscribers $83 per month and includes over 100 channels.
Details on the other bundles weren’t released, but the company teased plans that will focus on news, family and entertainment content. The costs and release dates for these bundles have not been announced.
