YouTube TV and Fox are locked in a carriage dispute that could leave subscribers to the streaming platform unable to watch Week 1 of the college football season this weekend.<\/p>\n

The sides have until 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday to reach a deal. If an agreement is not reached, YouTube TV subscribers will lose access to Fox channels, including the Fox broadcast network, FS1 and Big Ten Network.<\/p>\n

If a deal is not reached by noon ET on Saturday, that means college football fans who access Fox networks through YouTube TV would not be able to watch Saturday\u2019s premier matchup between No. 1 Texas and No. 3 Ohio State, among other contests, without finding another distribution channel. Viewers could also eventually miss out on the NFL, as Fox begins showing regular-season games on Sunday, Sept. 7.<\/p>\n

YouTube said that subscribers would receive a $10 credit if access to Fox channels is lost.<\/p>\n

While the sides are continuing to negotiate, YouTube TV asserted in a blog post Monday<\/a> that Fox is \u201casking for payments that are far higher than what partners with comparable content offerings receive. Our priority is to reach a deal that reflects the value of their content and is fair for both sides without passing on additional costs to our subscribers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe value our partnership with Fox and will continue our discussions toward reaching a deal that keeps their content on YouTube TV,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n

In a responding statement, Fox said: \u201cWhile Fox remains committed to reaching a fair agreement with Google\u2019s YouTube TV, we are disappointed that Google continually exploits its outsized influence by proposing terms that are out of step with the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, Fox launched a direct-to-consumer streaming service called FOX One<\/a>. The service includes Fox Sports properties and is priced at $19.99 per month with a seven-day free trial or $199.99 per year.<\/p>\n
