YouTube TV consistently ranks among the top live TV streaming services, and an ongoing deal can help you get the streamer for less. The latest YouTube TV deal will knock 18% off your first five months of service, one of the lengthiest introductory offers we've seen.

The deal can help new users get $75 off YouTube TV for five months (that's $15 a month off each month over a five-month period). The sale brings the price of YouTube TV's main plan down from $83 a month to just $68 a month. While the promotional period lasts for five months, you can cancel at any time, so you're not locked in if you decide you don't want YouTube TV anymore.

YouTube TV has a fantastic reputation, thanks in no small part to its robust 100+ main plan channel lineup. The live TV service is one of the top cable alternatives, as it doesn't miss any major channels and offers several niche cable networks. You can find everything from local channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC to popular cable networks like ESPN, AMC, and the NFL Network.

Keep reading to learn more about YouTube TV and the current deal. You'll need to click through our special YouTube TV link to get the full five-month offer, since it won't show up on the normal landing page.

I'm the Senior Associate Editor of Streaming at Business Insider. A lifelong entertainment and media buff, I specialize in helping you find how to watch your favorite shows, movies, and sporting events.My areas of expertiseMy main expertise is in streaming services, television, and film. I've tested nearly every major streaming platform, many of which I've used for several years (and through several rounds of price hikes and rebrands). I evaluate the services for content, user-friendliness, cross-device compatibility, and other metrics to see how they hold up in an increasingly competitive market.In addition to my entertainment background, I also help support our deals and tech verticals. I contribute to our coverage of virtual private networks (VPNs) and smartphones. My experienceI've been writing about entertainment, sports, TV, and film for over seven years, starting my career in the Living/Arts department of The Boston Globe. I went on to write entertainment features, roundups, and conduct celebrity interviews for publications like Vulture, TV Guide, Esquire, Time, and The Daily Beast before joining Business Insider as a streaming specialist on the Reviews team.In my current role, I write about everything from finding the right VPN for watching overseas soccer games to choosing the best streaming service for original TV series. When I'm not writing, I'm editing stories from freelancers or fellow Reviews team members.I'm also an expert deal hunter. I love the thrill of sharing an amazing discount with readers, whether it be on my favorite streaming services or on products I know our team loves and recommends. I play an active role in writing about sales and deals for the Reviews team, especially on major shopping holidays.Why you can trust meWhether I'm testing streaming platform interfaces or actively comparing channel offerings between services, I always have my finger on the pulse of what’s new in entertainment. I'm the first person to know when a streaming service has changed its price, and whether or not it’s still worth paying for. As a sports fan, I also understand the complexities of ensuring you can watch every single game in a season, especially as streaming services continue to pick up exclusive rights to select sporting events. I think that streaming services should make your life easier, not harder, and I strive to help make that a reality with our guides.Outside of workMost of the time, you can find me watching a horror movie, WNBA game, or long-distance running.
