Anyone who uses YouTube TV, like myself, as of now won't be getting Monday night football until the dispute is settled.

Just got the following email....

In order to deliver a wide variety of sports, news, and entertainment programming on YouTube TV, we enter into agreements with network partners. Each time we renew our contracts with these partners, we advocate for fair pricing and greater flexibility to offer our subscribers the best possible live TV experience. Our current agreement with Disney has approached its renewal date, and we will not agree to terms that disadvantage our members while benefiting Disney’s own live TV products. Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, October 30, 2025, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV. This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.

We know how disruptive it is to lose channels you enjoy, which is why it’s our goal to bring Disney content back to YouTube TV. We’re committed to continuing to work with Disney to reach an agreement, but if their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer our subscribers a $20 credit.

You can continue to watch Disney’s sports programming by signing up for ESPN directly. For more information on the impact to our 4K Plus and Spanish Plus add-ons, please visit our Help Center.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to advocate on behalf of our subscribers and work towards a new agreement with Disney. We will continue to update our Help Center with the latest. As always, family managers have the ability to cancel anytime.

We appreciate your YouTube TV membership.

Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

I don't even care anymore.
If the game is on, I watch.
If not, I do something else.
Jerry has sucked all the joy out of following this team for me.

Yep I received the email at midnight. This is in addition to them recently dropping the regional sports network in my area. I think I may have to go Verizon.

Meanwhile all of these corporations are rolling around in money.

These games they occasionally play as if they are doing their best for us, their loving customers. Who pays for these games?.. you and me.

They squabble over nickels and dimes while we, the consumer, get less content for more $. What a system!

(and it doesn't always work out, Youtube TV was in a spat with Monumental Sports network, and they never agreed, so now I can't watch the Caps here in the DMV).
