YouTube TV is still one of the heaviest hitters in live TV streaming, but 2026 is shaping up to be a year of change for the streamer. It still has the usual add-ons that let you tailor the service, but later this year, Google will roll out new “Plans” to give subscribers slimmer (and cheaper) options.
