Does YouTube TV Have NFL RedZone? The Sports Plus Add-On Explained

Yes. YouTube TV has NFL RedZone, but only through the NFL RedZone with Sports Plus add-on, which YouTube TV lists at $10.99 a month as of October 2026. You add it on top of a YouTube TV plan, and you can't buy RedZone on its own.

RedZone isn't part of the main YouTube TV plan or the Sports Plan. It sits inside a bundle of extra sports networks, so paying for it gets you a whole package, not just one channel.

What the NFL RedZone with Sports Plus add-on includes

YouTube TV's help page lists these channels in the package:

  • NFL RedZone
  • beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS XTRA
  • Billiard TV
  • FanDuel TV
  • Fight Network
  • FOX Soccer Plus
  • Impact Wrestling
  • RACER Network
  • Outside
  • Overtime
  • PlayersTV
  • PokerGO+
  • SportsGrid
  • Stadium
  • Tennis Channel
  • VSiN
  • Willow

YouTube TV's plans page describes it as 13+ additional sports networks. You also get the same YouTube TV features on these channels: you can record games with unlimited DVR, and you can hide scores on a team or league page so nothing spoils a game you've recorded.

The two catches YouTube TV mentions

  • No single channels. The networks in this package aren't available as individual add-ons. If you only want Tennis Channel, you still buy the whole bundle.
  • The free-trial trap. If you've had a free trial of the FOX Soccer Plus add-on in the past, YouTube TV says you won't be eligible for a free trial of NFL RedZone with Sports Plus.

How to add RedZone to YouTube TV

  1. Go to tv.youtube.com on a web browser and sign in.
  2. Select your profile photo, then Settings, then Membership.
  3. Select ADD next to NFL RedZone with Sports Plus. The price shows beside it.
  4. Select Purchase to finish.

On a smart TV, open the YouTube TV app, select the store icon next to your profile photo, choose the network and select Add network. YouTube TV says that if you add it partway through a month, you pay a prorated amount up to your next billing date, then it's billed with your membership.

If you're billed by a mobile carrier or internet provider, YouTube TV says changes to your subscription go through that billing platform instead.

RedZone, Sunday Ticket and the Sports Plan: which do you need?

OptionWhat it gives youPrice listed (Oct 2026)
NFL RedZone with Sports PlusThe NFL RedZone channel from NFL Network, plus the extra sports networks above$10.99 a month on top of a plan
NFL Sunday TicketOut-of-market Sunday afternoon games in fullSeparate purchase on top of a YouTube TV plan
Sports PlanSports networks from the main plan plus your local channels$64.99 a month

They do different jobs. RedZone is one channel from NFL Network inside a bundle of sports networks. Sunday Ticket is the product YouTube TV sells for out-of-market Sunday afternoon games. YouTube TV's Sports Plan page suggests pairing the Sports Plan with Sunday Ticket, because the Sports Plan carries your local NBC, CBS, Fox and ABC stations for in-market games. Sunday Ticket also needs an active YouTube TV plan, and YouTube TV says you lose it if you cancel. The figures for that are in the NFL Sunday Ticket price guide.

Billing: add-ons keep their own date

One detail from YouTube TV's plans help page: if you switch your main plan, your add-ons carry over automatically, but the add-on billing date stays on its original monthly cycle while the main plan's billing date moves to the day you switch. So you may see two charges on different days. That's normal, not a double charge.

Removing RedZone after the season

You don't have to cancel YouTube TV to drop the add-on. YouTube TV's cancel page notes that add-on networks can be removed individually, and its add-on page shows the same Membership screen is where you manage them. One warning from the plans page: if you cancel your whole YouTube TV plan, all add-ons are cancelled with it, so pause instead if you only want a break.

Add-ons depend on the base plan, which my page on the YouTube TV plans covers.

My verdict

If you watch Sunday football and want RedZone, the Sports Plus add-on is the only way to get it on YouTube TV, and it brings a stack of niche sports channels with it. Check your past trials first so the FOX Soccer Plus rule doesn't catch you, and if live sport is your main reason to subscribe, read my guide on watching sports on YouTube TV.

    note 収益はどれくらい手元に残る?(2026年版)1,000円の記事が585円になる手数料の計算と、損しない受け取り方

    note の収益で手元に残る額は、売上から「事務手数料」「プラットフォーム利用料」「振込手数料」の3つを引いた額です。note 公式ヘルプの計算例では、1,000円の有料記事がクレジットカードで1回売れて、それだけを振り込むと585円になります。事務手数料は自分ではなく読者の決済手段で決まり、携帯キャリア決済だと15%かかります。 「note 収益 どれくらい」「note 収益化 難しい」と検索する人がいちばん驚くのは、売上と振込額の差です。この記事では note 公式ヘルプ(2026年10月に確認)の手数料表と計算例をそのまま使って、どこでいくら引かれるのか、どうすれば引かれる額を小さくできるのかを説明します。 引かれる3つのお金 手数料かかるタイミング金額や料率事務手数料購入ごと読者の決済手段によって5%から15%プラットフォーム利用料購入ごと売上から事務手数料を引いた額の10%(定期購読マガジンは20%)振込手数料振込1回ごと270円 プラットフォーム利用料は、売上そのものではなく「事務手数料を引いた後の額」に掛かります。順番を間違えると計算が合わなくなるので注意してください。 読者の決済手段で変わる事務手数料 読者の決済手段事務手数料クレジットカード5%PayPay7%Amazon Pay7%noteポイント10%PayPal6.5%携帯キャリア決済15% 同じ記事でも、読者がキャリア決済で買うとカードの3倍の事務手数料がかかります。これはクリエイターが選べるものではありません。なお、メンバーシップの会費はキャリア決済に対応しておらず、PayPal で払えるのは有料記事と有料マガジンだけです。…
