YouTube TV comes with ABC.

Viewing college football continues to become more and more difficult in the age of streaming services and media rights disputes, the latest being between Disney and YouTube TV.

Disney's TV channels were suspended from YouTube TV late on Oct. 30, due to the two sides being unable to reach a deal. The dispute also impacts ABC and ESPN's networks, which air a large number of college football games each week.

"We know this is a frustrating and disappointing outcome for our subscribers and we continue to urge Disney to work with us constructively to reach a fair agreement that restores their networks to YouTube TV," YouTube TV wrote in a statement. "If their content remains off YouTube TV for an extended period of time, we’ll offer subscribers a $20 credit."

It's the second dispute regarding YouTube TV and a major TV provider in recent weeks, as Fox and YouTube TV had a short dispute that was later resolved just before Week 1 of the college football season.

Here's what to know of Disney and YouTube TV's negotiations, including how to watch ABC and ESPN ahead of college football games on Nov. 1.

Why are Disney channels not on YouTube TV?

Disney suspended its TV channels from YouTube TV on Oct. 30, after the two sides couldn't come to a new agreement.

YouTube TV claimed Disney threatened a blackout as a negotiation tactic and are now following through with the move.

"Members, when we renew our contracts with network partners, we advocate for fair pricing to offer you the best TV experience," YouTube TV wrote on X. "Our contract with Disney has reached its renewal date, and we'll not agree to terms that disadvantage our members while benefiting Disney’s TV products."

Disney and ESPN, obviously, have a different view of the situation.

"Unfortunately, Google’s YouTube TV has chosen to deny their subscribers the content they value the most by refusing to pay fair rates for our channels, including ESPN and ABC," ESPN PR wrote. "Without a new agreement in place, their subscribers will not have access to our programming, which includes the best lineup in live sports — anchored by the NFL, NBA, and college football, with 13 of the top 25 college teams playing this weekend.

"With a $3 trillion market cap, Google is using its market dominance to eliminate competition and undercut the industry-standard terms we’ve successfully negotiated with every other distributor. We know how frustrating this is for YouTube TV subscribers and remain committed to working toward a resolution as quickly as possible."

ESPN's top anchor, Scott Van Pelt, also posted a video to social media pointing viewers to "keepmynetworks.com," which prompts subscribers to reach out to YouTube TV to restore Disney's TV channels, while personality Stephen A. Smith did the same, among others.

College football games on ABC or ESPN's family of networks can be accessed with the ESPN app, which requires a valid TV provider subscription other than YouTube TV. Viewers can also access those TV channels with Fubo, which offers a free trial.

Fubo is owned by Disney, which completed its acquisition of the live TV streaming service on Oct. 29.
