YouTube TV's new sports plan will include Golf Channel, PGA Tour Live
Nick Stavas- YouTube TV will launch a new sports-only subscription package in early 2026.
- The new plan will include ESPN Unlimited, FS1, NBC Sports Network and Golf Channel, among others.
- This package offers a more affordable option for sports fans who do not want a full cable bundle.
- Full details, including the price and a complete channel list, have not yet been announced.
Cord-cutting golf fans, rejoice. A new way to watch golf (and lots of other sports) will be here soon.
YouTube TV plans to roll out 10 different genre-specific channel packages early in 2026, including a sports-only plan for ball watchers around the country who are tired of paying for channels they never use. Subscribers will have access to ESPN Unlimited as well as sports cable networks like FS1 and NBC Sports. Golf Channel will also be included YouTube TV's new sports package, Golfweek confirmed with a spokesperson from Versant, the network's parent company.
This is likely music to the ears of many golf fans, as Golf Channel will remain the official cable broadcast partner of the PGA Tour through 2030 and access to ESPN Unlimited means this new bundle will also include PGA Tour Live, TGL and extra coverage of the Masters — all under one umbrella with one price tag. Early reports indicate the new sports package will be less expensive than YouTube TV's current $82 monthly fee for the full base plan, and subscribers will have the option to add on extras like NFL Sunday Ticket and RedZone.
The announcement of this new offering comes on the heels of a weeks-long dispute between YouTube TV and ESPN's parent company, Disney, which angered sports watchers across the U.S. The two sides reached an agreement on Nov. 14 after a 15-day holdout during peak football season.
In the end, all of that hassle may have been worth it, though. Full details regarding YouTube TV's Sports Plan — such as the price, complete channel lineup and when it will be available — have yet to be released, but considering this is something seemingly every sports fan has been clamoring for, there's reason to be excited.
