• Users are seeing the discount last up to 4 months.

If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you might be able to save up to $80 on your bill—but you have to track down the discount on your own.

Usually, scoring a discount on an internet service or subscription involves the frustrating “threatening to cancel” dance. YouTube TV, however, offers a hidden discount to some subscribers that only takes a few clicks to uncover.

A recent Reddit post showed users scoring the discount for four months, which would be an $80 savings. It’s probably not a coincidence that this discount is popping up at the end of football season, when many sports fans might be looking to cancel their subscription.

How to find the YouTube TV discount

Some previous discounts only appeared when accessed through a web browser, so start on the desktop version instead of the app or TV.

1. Click your profile picture in the top‑right corner and go to the Settings page.
2. Under Your Plan, where you see your plan and price, click Manage.
3. If you’re eligible, you’ll see the offer with a button to claim.

Alternatively, you can go straight to your YouTube TV membership settings in a desktop browser:

If you see an offer and claim it, you’ll receive an email confirmation.

Don’t see the offer?

There isn’t an official explanation of which subscribers get the discount, but the consensus is that if you claimed this offer the last time (e.g., September of last year), it won’t appear again. Google offered a similar discount when a blackout affected the availability of Disney and ESPN content.

I claimed the offer previously and am not seeing it now, which seems to confirm that it’s a one‑time benefit.
