In December 2021, YouTube TV and The Walt Disney Company disputed over a contract renewal, threatening the removal of Disney-owned networks like ABC, Disney Channel, and ESPN. Google and Disney didn't renew the contract by the deadline, causing YouTube TV's first blackout, but resolved it with a new deal a day later.
In January 2023, MLB Network was removed from YouTube TV because they failed to reach a contract renewal agreement.
On November 18, 2023, Phoenix, Arizona television station KTVK was removed from YouTube TV as a local channel in the state of Arizona due to a dispute between YouTube TV and Gray Television, KTVK's parent company. As a result viewers were unable to watch the majority of locally televised Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury basketball games not televised by TNT, ESPN, or ABC.
On February 12, 2025, YouTube TV engaged in a contract renewal dispute with Paramount Global, warning of a possible removal of CBS, Nickelodeon, and other Paramount-owned networks. An agreement was made on February 13 to prevent a shutdown.
