How do I get a YouTube TV educational discount?
Answer
YouTube TV educational pricing is only available when Google verifies an eligible school affiliation through the official YouTube TV signup or Membership flow. Sign in at tv.youtube.com, start the student or education offer if shown, and complete verification; if no offer appears, your account or school may not qualify.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Ignore third parties that promise an education discount for an upfront unlock fee.
Follow these steps
Sign in on the official YouTube TV site
Open tv.youtube.com in a browser, sign in with the Google account you want billed, and go to the signup or Membership area.
You should see: You see current plan options or your existing YouTube TV membership details.
Look for the education or student offer
Check the plan chooser and Settings > Membership for an Education, Student, or similar offer. Start that path if it appears rather than the standard plan.
You should see: Either an education checkout starts, or you confirm no education offer is listed for this account.
Complete school verification
If prompted, verify with your school email or the partner verification service Google presents. Use the exact email format your school issues.
You should see: Verification succeeds and the discounted plan becomes available to confirm.
If no offer appears, check eligibility constraints
Confirm the account is not already on a different YouTube TV membership, try the school email as a recovery/contact option if allowed, and read Google's current YouTube TV student or education eligibility help page.
You should see: You know whether to switch accounts, wait for eligibility, or use a standard plan instead.

Extra tips
What to look for: An Education, Student, or similar offer during YouTube TV signup or under Settings > Membership after signing in on the official site.
Before you change anything: Use the Google account that should receive the discount. Have your school-issued email ready if verification asks for it. Sign in only at the official YouTube TV site or app. Do not pay anyone who claims they can unlock an education plan for a fee outside Google.
