In a major shake-up for streaming TV fans, Disney channels—including ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel, FX, Freeform, and National Geographic—have disappeared from YouTube TV as of November 1, 2025. The blackout comes after Disney and Google failed to reach a new carriage agreement, leaving millions of subscribers unable to access popular live programming, including the beloved game show *Jeopardy!*, which airs on ABC.

The dispute, which has been brewing for weeks, culminated in Disney pulling its channels from the service just before the October 30 deadline. Disney had previously warned subscribers that if a new deal wasn’t reached, access to its networks—including ABC, home to *Jeopardy!* and *Wheel of Fortune*—would be cut off. Now, with the blackout in effect, fans who rely on YouTube TV for live TV are finding themselves unable to watch these shows as they air.
### No Deal, No Jeopardy

For many, the loss of *Jeopardy!* is a particularly painful blow. The show, which has been a staple of American television for decades, is now unavailable to YouTube TV subscribers unless they find alternative ways to stream ABC. While *Jeopardy!* episodes will eventually be available on Hulu (including Hulu on Disney+) and Peacock the day after they air, fans who want to watch live or catch up immediately are out of luck.

“I can’t believe I can’t watch *Jeopardy!* anymore,” said one frustrated YouTube TV subscriber. “It’s been part of my routine for years. Now I have to figure out a whole new way to watch.”

The blackout also affects sports fans, as ESPN and ABC are major broadcasters for live sports, including NFL games, college football, and more. With ESPN gone from YouTube TV, sports viewers have been forced to turn to other streaming services or apps to catch their favorite games. According to recent data, YouTube TV saw a 35% increase in subscribers on mobile apps each night after the Disney channels were pulled, suggesting that many users are exploring other options.

Both Disney and YouTube TV are feeling the financial impact of the blackout. YouTube TV is offering affected subscribers a $20 credit as compensation, but the loss of Disney’s popular channels could drive some users to cancel their subscriptions altogether. Meanwhile, Disney is losing revenue every day its channels are unavailable on YouTube TV, one of the largest live TV streaming services in the U.S.
### What’s Next?

For now, the dispute remains unresolved, and there is no clear timeline for when Disney channels might return to YouTube TV. Both companies are reportedly still negotiating, but with no deal in sight, subscribers are left in limbo. In the meantime, fans of *Jeopardy!* and other Disney-owned programming will have to rely on alternative streaming platforms or wait for the blackout to end.

As the battle between Disney and YouTube TV continues, one thing is clear: the days of easy access to live TV are becoming increasingly complicated for cord-cutters. For now, fans of *Jeopardy!* and other Disney shows will have to find new ways to watch—or wait for a resolution that may be a long time coming.
