Looks like all Disney/ABC/ ESPN college football games will not aired this weekend or maybe longer.😠

Well that F!!!!!! blows.

Below is the email I received from YouTube TV about this matter yesterday. (original links removed)

In order to deliver a wide variety of sports, news, and entertainment programming on YouTube TV, we enter into agreements with network partners. Each time we renew our contracts with these partners, we advocate for fair pricing and greater flexibility to offer our subscribers the best possible live TV experience. Our current agreement with Disney has approached its renewal date, and we will not agree to terms that disadvantage our members while benefiting Disney’s own live TV products. Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, October 30, 2025, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV. This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.

We know how disruptive it is to lose channels you enjoy, which is why it’s our goal to bring Disney content back to YouTube TV. We’re committed to continuing to work with Disney to reach an agreement, but if their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer our subscribers a $20 credit.

You can continue to watch Disney’s sports programming by signing up for ESPN directly. For more information on the impact to our 4K Plus and Spanish Plus add-ons, please visit our Help Center.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to advocate on behalf of our subscribers and work towards a new agreement with Disney. We will continue to update our Help Center with the latest. As always, family managers have the ability to cancel anytime.

We appreciate your YouTube TV membership.

Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

Really annoying that the channels went away at the same time the email was sent.

Also, I blame Disney for this. They're trying to push their streaming service.

It won't get me. I refuse to watch commercials, so if the only way to watch sports is being force-fed ads, I may do the unthinkable and give up sports (at least watching them).

This cable/ streaming bu--sh-- has got me very pis--d off.

So what’s the best alternative to YouTube tv?

Every carrier has this happen periodically, there’s no perfect answer I know of. Free trial of Fubo over the weekend would probably work though.

I use RM Hosting (rmhosting.net). I order the Level 3 VPS Package for $14/month. It allows me to download their channel list on three devices (smart TV, IPad, phone). I just had to download the IPTV Smarters Pro app from the App Store on each device.

RM Hosting emails me a user name, password and MAG portal URL to plug into the IPTV Smarters Pro app to populate the channel list. Now there isn’t a sporting event that goes on in the world that I can’t watch.

There’s always the CW Network.
