YouTube TV dropped NESN in Fall 2020, the same thing happened to my parents. It included NESN when they signed up and then got dropped right after. NESN has most of the Red Sox and Bruins games.

Alternatives are NESN 360 which is $30/month which I think everyone agrees is too much. FuboTV is similar to YouTube TV, it has tiers ($75/$85/$95), but NESN and NESN+ are included on all of them.

I'd recommend trying FuboTV after you cancel YouTube TV. It'll be worth it once it's all set up and you can watch the games together. Cancelling anything is always a pain, good luck 🤞

The big problem with FUBO is it doesn't have any of the Turner networks. No TBS, TNT, TruTV etc. If you like college basketball, that makes FUBO a non-starter since much of the Men's tournament airs on those networks.

Also, FUBO's collection of local stations is hit or miss. They only carry 2 of the local channels in my area, the Fox and ABC affiliates. The CBS and NBC locals are relegated to national feeds.

There may also be no PBS, CW or independent stations depending on your area. CNN and it's associated channels are also absent.

Didn't realize that wasn't included in the FuBo lineup and March isn't a good time to lose access to college basketball. Seems like you'd have to see if DirectTV/Xfinity includes NESN in your area or live with a combination of FuBo for NESN and SlingTV ($40/$55) for Turner channels.

Now we know why YTTV dropped it. Probably cost THEM $30/month/customer too.
