Having Trouble With Local Channels on YouTube TV? This is really frustrating especially since some people watch YouTube TV for local news, events, or sports. Below, we tackle the common problems about not having your local channels working, and how to troubleshoot this successfully.

Manage Your Home Area or Current Location for YouTube TV

The local channel settings for your home area are very essential for you to access your local channels. If you have moved or using YouTube TV in another place on your mobile device, your local channels may not load properly. Therefore, do update your home area in account settings with your current location.

Why Local Channels Are Blocked on YouTube TV?

Local channels may not be available due to licensing or because they geoblock broadcasting rights in your local area. YouTube TV may exclude you from viewing local channels should it realize that you are outside your home area or using a VPN.

How do I change my local channels on YouTube TV?

To change to other local channels, you will need to update your home area. You will do this by going into the YouTube TV account settings and "Manage location." Please ensure that the device location setting is turned on and try to restart the app. If you continue to have issues, you can contact customer support at YouTube TV at (800) 646-6816 for assistance.

Why Won't Youtube TV Let Me Watch My Local Channels?

If you do not see your local stations, check your IP address or other relevant settings to your location on your device, too, and make sure that your current subscription plan does offer the availability of local channels. In some cases, a simple refresh of the application or clearing the app's cache will solve the issue.

Not seeing your local channels on YouTube TV?
Make sure your YouTube TV app is completely up to date and reinstall it, if your problem persists. Call (800) 646-6816 to potentially find additional support.
Try these and get your local stations back up and running or view them more easily with YouTube TV
