YouTube TV NBA Deals in 2026: What the $110 Offer Covers
YouTube TV’s current NBA-season offer is a discount on its Sports + News Plan, not a special NBA League Pass package. New YouTube TV users can pay $49.99 per month for five months, then the plan returns to $71.99 per month. YouTube TV says the offer saves $110 and ends November 16, 2026; eligibility and offer terms apply.
The plan can carry NBA games shown on channels in your local lineup, but it does not include every game or every streaming service. The 2026–27 NBA season’s national schedule is split among ABC/ESPN, NBC/Peacock and Prime Video, so check the game’s listing before you subscribe.

This is a plan-level introductory price, not an NBA-specific subscription. YouTube TV’s main plan is a separate option with a broader entertainment lineup and its own new-user promotion. Confirm the amount and billing schedule shown at sign-up; promotions and channel lineups can change.
Which NBA games can YouTube TV carry?
YouTube TV’s Sports Plan channel lineup includes NBA TV and local broadcast networks, with channel availability depending on your ZIP code. The Sports + News offer adds news channels to that sports-focused plan. In practice, that can help with games carried on ABC, ESPN, NBC and NBA TV when those channels are in your lineup.
The league’s 2026–27 national rights are divided among several partners. ABC and ESPN have 80 regular-season games; NBC and Peacock have 100; and Prime Video has 66. Some games are on broadcast NBC, while other NBCUniversal games stream on Peacock. Prime Video’s games are not part of a YouTube TV subscription. Local team coverage and blackouts also vary by market.
Use the NBA schedule or its Tap to Watch links to confirm the service for a specific matchup. A channel bundle can provide many games, but it is not a promise that every regular-season or playoff game is included.
What the deal does not include
- NBA League Pass: YouTube TV no longer offers NBA League Pass as an add-on. League Pass is available through NBA’s own services and Amazon’s digital channel store, subject to the league’s local and national blackout rules.
- Prime Video games: The Sports + News price does not pay for a separate Prime Video subscription.
- Peacock streaming exclusives: A local NBC channel in YouTube TV does not convert Peacock-only streams into YouTube TV content; a separate Peacock plan may be needed.
- Every local channel everywhere: ABC, NBC and other local stations depend on your home area. Check the channel list using your ZIP code.
Is the YouTube TV NBA offer worth it?
The introductory price may suit a new subscriber who wants the included sports and news channels for a few months and understands the later $71.99 monthly rate. Before signing up, compare the offer’s five-month total with your viewing needs, confirm the local ABC and NBC stations available at your address, and decide whether you also need Peacock, Prime Video or League Pass.
