YouTube TV Gives Errors When Trying to Add NFL RedZone - How to Watch for Free

The majority of NFL action kicks off today, but YouTube TV appears to be out to lunch. Users trying to add NFL RedZone via the platform’s Sports Plus package are getting error messages. YouTube TV unhelpfully tweets this solution:

Although we tried this solution, YouTube TV continues showing errors. After following the process to add the channel, it’s not adding to the channel guide. If you follow through to the customer support page, you’ll encounter the option to wait two hours for a phone call or wait for someone to email you.

Since we don’t have time for that, the best option is to start a free trial of fuboTV. You’ll be able to watch all of today’s NFL RedZone action for free, and enjoy the rest of the fuboTV service for 7 days.

Right now, fuboTV is the only service with RedZone offering a free trial.

Of all the days for YouTube TV to decide to choke on its billing functionality, the first Sunday of NFL football is definitely a bad one. We have a full comparison of YouTube TV and fuboTV if today has you thinking of making a permanent switch.

Fubo

Fubo is a live TV streaming service with about 90 top channels that start at $79.99 per month. This plan includes local channels, 25 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). In total, you should expect to pay about $91.99 per month, after adding in their RSN Fee. Fubo was previously known as “fuboTV.”

…

The streaming service does not carry channels from WarnerMedia-owned (CNN, TBS, and TNT), A+E (A&E, History Channel, and Lifetime), and AMC Networks (AMC, BBC America, and WE tv). So, in our experience, if you are looking to watch the NBA, which heavily plays on TBS and TNT, you may want to look at another live TV streaming provider.

But for other sports fans, especially those who want to stream local sports, Fubo is a great option in our opinion. They recently announced adding Bally Sports RSNs to their channel lineup and it is the least expensive option to get RSNs in many markets like Altitude, AT&T Sports, Fox Sports, Marquee, MSG, NBC Sports, and NESN. (Take a look at the full list of Fubo’s sports channels.)

Fubo also includes MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NFL RedZone , NHL Network, and beIN Sports (which is not available on most services). You can add Fox Soccer Plus as part of the International Sports Plus add-on for $6/month.

You can add the fubo Extra ($8) to add ~43 channels including Cooking Channel and GSN.
