Have you been frustrated with YouTube TV lately? You’re not alone.
Between recent price hikes and messy carriage disputes, many cord cutters have soured on the service that we have long considered the “best overall option” for live TV streaming.
YouTube TV is trying to regain some momentum in 2025 with one of its best offers to new customers in recent history.
No, it won’t bring you back to the time that they promised $35 per month subscriptions for life. But it will give new customers a chance to save some serious cash in the short term. Let’s take a look at the details.
YouTube TV’s New Customer Offer with Extended Free Trial
Usually, customers who are trying out a new live TV streaming service are offered either a short-term free trial or a discount on their first couple of months of service. If they’re lucky, they sometimes get a chance at both.
But, for a limited time, YouTube TV is offering a longer-than-usual free trial period AND a long-term discount!
New customers can enjoy a 21-day free trial for YouTube TV’s Base Plan. And, if you like what you see, you can get your first six months of service for $69.99 per month.
That’s $13 per month off the regular price of $82.99, which adds up to $78 in savings over the course of the promotion.
You must subscribe by 11:59 PT on March 31, 2025 to qualify for this offer.
This deal is timed well to get sports fans. It provides a chance to experience the NCAA’s March Madness on the free trial. From there, they can decide whether or not to keep the subscription at a discounted price to enjoy the NBA and NHL playoffs, as well as baseball season.
Depending on when you sign up, the promotional price might also last into the first few weeks of football season!
Things To Note from the Fine Print
Unfortunately, this deal won’t work for everyone. I dug into the fine print of the offer to pull out some key takeaways you’ll need to help determine your eligibility.
- The offer is only available to users who are not current or former YouTube TV Base Plan subscribers.
- You cannot have not participated in a free trial of YouTube TV before.
- You’ll have to provide a valid form of payment required at sign-up, but it will not be charged until the trial period expires.
- Keep in mind that you’ll be able to cancel at any time. You can cancel before the trial period is over and owe nothing. If you cancel during your discounted months, you’ll only owe for the current billing cycle. There are no partial refunds, though.
Is this offer good enough to entice you? We’d love to hear about your streaming TV experiences in the Clark.com community.
