TV Answer Man, I’m thinking of getting YouTube TV to watch the rest of March Madness games. But do you know which regional sports networks it has with baseball season coming up? — Dale, Cleveland.
Dale, YouTube TV, the multi-channel live streaming service, has more than 100 channels for $72.99 a month. (Promotional offer now for $15 off each of the first three months.) But while it has the NFL Sunday Ticket as an exclusive, it does not carry many regional sports networks, which is critical for fans of local MLB, NBA and NHL teams. Here are the RSNs it does carry:
NBC Sports Bay Area
NBC Sports Boston
NBC Sports California
NBC Sports Chicago
NBC Sports Philadelphia

NBC Sports Northwest
Monumental Sports Network
And that’s it. YouTube TV does not carry the Bally Sports regional sports nets or the Yes Network, the Pac 12 Network, the Longhorn Network, NESN, Altitude, Marquee Sports Network, MASN or SportsNet LA, among others. If your home team is important to you, YouTube TV might not be the answer. Rival streamers Fubo and DIRECTV Stream carry far more RSNs.
Dale, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
