- Disney channels, including ESPN and ABC, are being pulled from YouTube TV.
- Disney and YouTube could not agree on a new deal to license its content, YouTube told customers.
- The change is effective immediately, YouTube said.
Disney-owned channels like ESPN and ABC will no longer be available on YouTube TV after the two parties failed to agree on a new deal, YouTube said late on Thursday.
“Our current agreement with Disney has approached its renewal date, and we will not agree to terms that disadvantage our members while benefiting Disney’s own live TV products,” YouTube TV said in an email to subscribers.
“Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, October 30, 2025, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV,” it added.
“This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.”
Disney did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
