ESPN, ABC, FX and all the others DisneyOwned channels are still not available on YouTube TVas the two companies continue their contractual fight, with no end to the standoff in sight.
The dispute stems from the “carriage fees” that Google pays Disney to stream its channels on YouTube TV. Disney has had similar negotiating standoffs with other broadcasters in the past, including… Spectrum/Charter cable in 2023 and Direct TV in 2024.
Disney asked YouTube TV to bring back its ABC channel for coverage of the US election on Tuesday, but YouTube TV rejected that request on Monday. In a Blog postYouTube said offering only one channel for 24 hours would “cause customer confusion among those who might watch ABC briefly on YouTube TV and then lose it again soon after.”
YouTube went a bit further in its disapproval post, noting that viewers have many options for following election news on YouTube TV, commenting, “In the last two U.S. election days, the vast majority of YouTube TV subscribers chose not to watch ABC.” Oh.
Instead, YouTube TV proposed “restoring the Disney channels our customers are watching immediately: ABC and ESPN, while we continue to negotiate.”

As with previous Disney disputes, the negotiations remain under wraps even though the two companies have been attacking each other on social media and the web. Judging by Disney’s contract conflicts from previous years — Sling TV in 2022, Spectrum/Charter in 2023, and DirecTV in 2024 — the outages may only last a few more days, but Google has much more negotiating power than those other platforms.
