What to know

  • YouTube Premium Lite is now available in more countries after initial trials.
  • The service offers ad-free viewing without other Premium features.
  • It remains a lower-cost alternative to the full YouTube Premium plan.
  • Expansion comes after feedback from users in test regions.

YouTube has expanded its Premium Lite subscription to more countries. This move follows a trial period in select European regions. Premium Lite gives you ad-free viewing on YouTube at a lower price than the full Premium plan. However, it does not include features like background play, offline downloads, or YouTube Music access.

The service first launched in 2021 in countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. After gathering feedback from users, YouTube has decided to make Premium Lite available in additional markets. The company has not specified the full list of new countries, but users in several European nations have reported access to the plan.

Premium Lite is designed for viewers who want to watch YouTube videos without ads but do not need the extra features of the full Premium subscription. The price is lower than the standard Premium plan, making it more accessible for users who are mainly interested in ad-free viewing.

YouTube says it will continue to monitor feedback and may consider further changes or expansions in the future. If you are interested in Premium Lite, you can check the YouTube website or app to see if the plan is now available in your country.
