YouTube TV Strikes Out on Sinclair-Owned Fox Regional Sports Networks

Yankees fans, along with fans in 14 other markets, won’t be able to watch their favorite team

Baseball fans who also subscribe to YouTube TV got some bad news on Thursday when YouTube TV announced it will drop all Sinclair-owned Fox regional sports networks on February 29. The announcement means fans in several markets — including New York, where the Yankees’ YES Network will be going away — will not be able to catch their favorite teams on YouTube TV.

YouTube TV tweeted it was “unable to reach an agreement with Sinclair” to continue carrying Fox’s RSNs.

“We do not take this decision lightly. This is a reflection of the rising cost of sports content,” the Google-owned service tweeted.
