YouTube provides update on ongoing negotiations with Fox Corp.

In a blog post, YouTube (GOOGL) said, “At YouTube TV, our goal is to provide the best in live sports, news and entertainment. A key part of that commitment is our partnership with content providers like Fox (FOX), which allows us to carry a wide variety of channels. Our current agreement with Fox is approaching its renewal date and we are in active and ongoing negotiations to continue carrying their content. Fox is asking for payments that are far higher than what partners with comparable content offerings receive. Our priority is to reach a deal that reflects the value of their content and is fair for both sides without passing on additional costs to our subscribers. We want to be transparent about these discussions: if we are unable to reach a new agreement by 5:00 PM ET on August 27, 2025, Fox channels including Fox Sports, Business, and News would become unavailable on YouTube TV. Content from these channels saved in your library would also become unavailable at this time. We are working diligently with the team at Fox to reach an agreement. We know this uncertainty is frustrating, and if Fox content becomes unavailable for an extended period of time, we will provide our members with a $10 credit. In the meantime, in the event that Fox content becomes unavailable, you will still be able to watch their shows and sports by signing up for Fox One. We value our partnership with Fox and will continue our discussions toward reaching a deal that keeps their content on YouTube TV.”
