YouTube TV Slashes Bills with Hidden Two-Month Discount, Service Uninterrupted

YouTube TV today unveiled a hidden two-month discount that cuts subscribers’ base plan by $33 per month-reducing the fee from $82.99 to $49.99-for the next two billing cycles, and confirmed that the service experienced no outages on September 7, 2025.

Viewers racing to offset rising streaming costs can apply the promotion directly in their account settings through September 30, 2025. This move coincides with YouTube TV’s ongoing efforts to enhance its platform’s value amid a competitive live-TV market.

Discount Details and Eligibility

  • New and returning subscribers who have not used a YouTube TV discount or trial in the past 12 months qualify.
  • The $33-off offer applies automatically once users select the “Slash My Bill” option under Account > Membership.
  • The reduced rate of $49.99 applies for two consecutive months, after which the subscription reverts to $82.99 per month unless canceled.

Ongoing Free Trial Promotion

Subscribers unfamiliar with the service can also take advantage of YouTube TV’s 21-day free trial, available through September 9, 2025, at 11:59 pm PT. Trial participants receive full access to over 100 live channels and unlimited DVR storage before the standard rate applies.

Platform Stability and Enhancements

YouTube TV’s status remained stable today, with no reported outages or service interruptions across the U.S. in the past 24 hours. The reliability comes as YouTube continues rolling out UI improvements-including a revamped “Primetime Channels” shelf and optimized navigation on smart TVs-to streamline content discovery and enhance viewing convenience.

What This Means for Cord-Cutters

As streaming costs climb industry-wide, targeted promotions like this two-month discount offer immediate relief for budget-conscious viewers. By combining the limited-time discount with the existing free-trial window, prospective and returning subscribers can experience YouTube TV’s robust channel lineup, cloud DVR, and multiview features at significantly reduced cost for up to seven weeks.
