If you're like me and have YouTube TV, you're probably creating entire spreadsheets and pricing matrices about how to watch ESPN now that it's disappeared from the live TV streaming service. You could choose to ditch YouTube TV for other streaming services.

Disney has had blackout disruptions on major providers in each of last two years, having an 11-day dispute with Charter in 2023 and a 13-day battle with DirecTV in 2024. There are a few other live TV streaming services offering great deals and channels that YouTube TV customers no longer have access to.

DIRECTV offers a free 5-day trial covering all the affected channels with plans starting at just $49.99/month for your first month. That unlocks NFL, NBA, NHL, and college football across ESPN, ABC, and more, plus regional sports networks in most markets, all for one price.

Disney has yet to reach an agreement with YouTube regarding streaming rights on YouTube TV for its properties, which include ABC, the official network of 9-1-1 and spinoff series 9-1-1: Nashville. ABC is even urging fans to help speed the negotiations along by contacting YouTube to “let them know you want your favorite networks back.”
