What Is a "YouTube TV" Charge on My Bank Statement?

A YouTube TV charge is your monthly subscription payment for YouTube's live TV service, which streams cable-style channels over the internet.

Plain-English explanation

YouTube TV offers 100+ live TV channels including sports, news, and entertainment as a cable replacement. The base plan costs around $72.99/month as of 2026, with optional add-ons (sports packages, 4K, etc.) that increase the price. Charges come from Google.

Most common reasons this appears

• Monthly YouTube TV base plan renewal
• Add-on package (NFL Sunday Ticket, 4K Plus, or sports add-ons)
• Price increase from YouTube TV's plan adjustments

How to verify this charge

• Visit tv.youtube.com → Settings → Membership to see your plan and add-ons.
• Review payments at payments.google.com.
• Cancel from the Membership settings page if needed.

When to be concerned

• Charge significantly higher than your base plan — check for unintended add-ons.
• Charge after cancellation of the service.
• Multiple YouTube TV charges in one billing period.
