As previously communicated, YouTube TV is sending subscribers a $20 credit in light of Disney content still not being available.
To access, go to YouTube TV in a web browser, click your profile image in the top-right corner, and open Settings. At the very bottom is the “Updates” page. Alternatively, directly visit: tv.youtube.com/settings/service_updates.
Under “Disney Content,” YouTube TV explains how “Disney channels, including ABC and ESPN are currently unavailable.”
We know this is frustrating, and we deeply appreciate your membership. That’s why we’re offering you a one-time $20.00 credit.
You can still watch most [of] Disney’s sports programming by signing up for ESPN directly. For more information, please visit our Help Center.
Tap the blue “Claim credit” button and $20 “will be applied towards your next bill.” These steps are for those that pay for YouTube TV directly.
If you’re billed via Google Play or another provider, the “credit will be applied to your account automatically.” Go to tv.youtube.com/settings/billing to confirm.
Google first mentioned this $20 credit was coming on October 30 if Disney “content is unavailable for an extended period of time.” In its message today, YouTube is cognizant how the lack of sports content is upsetting users.
This credit being sent out does not bode well for the dispute ending in the short term.

- ABC
- ESPN
- ESPN2
- Freeform
- FX
- FXX
- Disney Junior
- SEC Network
