YouTube TV lifts the prohibition on NFL football games on portable devices
YouTube ▪ Commercial Terms ▪ February 12, 2026
YouTube TV changed the language of its commercial terms to reflect a change in its pricing model. The service has replaced its “base plan” with four different plans. YouTube TV has removed the mention that it was “restricted from distributing NFL football games on any portable device”. The deletion is in a paragraph that states that “YouTube TV content may not always be available or may not be available on all devices”.
A new section has also been added to the service that states that it may “provide promotional offers from time to time”. Once the promotional period ends, subscribers will be charged the standard price of the YouTube TV plan.
These changes only apply to the US jurisdiction.
YouTube TV is a subscription service that provides US cable TV content through YouTube. These changes occurred after the announcement of a revamp of YouTube TV around a set of plans. These offers are currently only available to US users.
