The infamous day has nearly arrived. As of Saturday, Nov. 18, YouTube TV will no longer be carrying Arizona’s Family 3TV, one of the local channels responsible for distributing Phoenix Suns games to Arizona viewers after the team left its former home of Bally Sports Arizona this year.

  • YouTube TV and Arizona’s Family 3TV could not reach a new retransmission agreement to keep the channel on the streamer.
  • YouTube TV is no longer offering any channels that feature the Phoenix Suns.
  • Users can also watch the Suns on Fubo or with Suns Live in Arizona if they don’t want to continue with YouTube TV.

Which Channels Are Being Dropped by YouTube TV This Weekend?

YouTube TV is dropping only Arizona’s Family 3TV on Nov. 18. The channel says it offered YouTube TV a market-based agreement to continue retransmitting its signal, but that was apparently too rich for YouTube executives’ blood.

YouTube TV customers who do not wish to cancel their service can grab an over-the-air antenna and watch the Suns on Arizona’s Family 3TV if they prefer to keep their service instead of switching to another outlet.

Will Arizona’s Family 3TV return to YouTube TV? It’s possible, as the two sides could continue to negotiate after the channel is dropped. However, it will probably take a large influx of complaints from Arizona YouTube TV customers to get the channel back, especially since the service still has a channel that carries Suns games.

Where Can You Stream the Suns Besides YouTube TV?

If you’ve already canceled YouTube TV because of its dropping Arizona’s Family 3TV, there are other options for watching the Suns in the Arizona market without a cable subscription. First, look into Fubo, which is the only live TV streaming service that carries Arizona’s Family Sports. Fubo is offering $20 off a subscription to any plan for a limited time.

Suns Live is also an option for in-market fans to watch Phoenix games. This service offers livestreams of all Suns games not airing on national TV channels, and costs $14.99 per month to access or $109.99 per year.

This article previously incorrectly stated that CBS 5 KPHO carried Suns games as well.
