When you try to watch certain programs, like sports events, you may encounter viewing restrictions. Viewing restrictions are set by our content partners, such as sports leagues or network partners. They vary based on your current or home location, the content you're trying to watch, which platform or device you're watching on, and possibly other restrictions made by our partners. Affected programs will be unavailable on YouTube TV. If a restriction is in effect in your location, we'll do our best to let you know.
