YouTube TV price increase workaround - learn how to save $60

If YouTube TV’s January 2025 price increase surprised you, you’re not alone. As a YouTube TV subscriber, I always knew there would be a price increase at some point, but last week I wasn’t expecting it.

But it did, giving me a choice: keep my subscription or cancel YouTube TV.

It turns out that there is – thankfully – a third option. Redditors on the r/youtubetv subreddit immediately began posting about the price increase (h/t TechRadar) and some of them noted that they were being offered a $60 discount on their subscription if they canceled their subscription in the next six months became. They were actually offered to lock in their current subscription price of $72.99 per month for the next six months technically is a $60 discount compared to the new subscription price of $82.99 per month. But for the sake of this exercise, we’ll pretend it’s a discount.

So I decided to try this trick myself and it worked! I managed to lock in my subscription for the next six months at $72.99 per month, putting off the proverbial cancellation period for a little longer. Here’s what I did so you can try it yourself.

Here’s how to get $60 off YouTube TV – but there’s a catch

Now there is a catch to this price increase hack: It is not guaranteed to work. It worked for me and several others, but others on the r/youtubetv subreddit say it didn’t work for them. So make sure you’re ready to roll the dice before trying this method. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to sign up again at full price to regain access to YouTube TV.

But after this price increase, you might be ready to break up with YouTube TV if it doesn’t offer the option to lock in your old plan. If that’s the case, be sure to check out our guide to the best cable TV alternatives and find a new live TV streaming service like Sling TV or Hulu + Live TV.
