Fans looking to watch the Dallas Cowboys play the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night will have to seek other options if they’re YouTube TV subscribers.
DALLAS — YouTube TV viewers can no longer see Disney channels like ABC and ESPN after the two sides failed to come to an agreement on a new distribution deal.
The dispute impacts ABC affiliate stations like WFAA, which are broadcasting the Dallas Cowboys-Arizona Cardinals game airing on ABC and ESPN on Monday Night Football.
WFAA is not directly involved in the negotiations between YouTubeTV and ABC.
So where does that leave fans who are YouTube TV subscribers that are hoping to watch the game? Well, aside from heading to the house of a friend who has another streaming service, or going to a bar that’s showing the game, fans have a few options.
For one, they can turn to another streaming service themselves. Among the more affordable options that offer ABC programming are Fubo, which allows viewers to tune in via a free trial, or Sling, which offers $5 day passes to viewers interested in their service.
YouTube TV customers who own antennas can also continue watching ABC programming by tuning into the broadcast over the air.
