Starting this week, the cheaper ad-free version of YouTube Premium is taking another step towards global availability. This means that more YouTube users get the chance to subscribe to Premium Lite, if they find that it meets their needs.
YouTube has just announced it’s expanding Premium Lite to viewers in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, and Mexico. The new plan will be slowly rolled out in these countries starting today, although many will have to wait a few weeks for Premium Lite to become available.

The main difference between the Premium and Premium Lite plans is that the latter doesn’t include ad-free experiences for music and music videos, as well as downloads and background play. Also, while most YouTube videos are ad-free, including those coming from categories like gaming, fashion, beauty and news, nearly everything else should still display ads.
If you live in one of the countries where YouTube Premium Lite is now available, here is what you’ll get for $7.99 per month:
- Enjoy gaming, fashion, beauty, news, and more ad-free
- Premium Lite works across devices, including phone, laptop and TV
- Ads may appear on music, Shorts, and when you search or browse
- Premium Lite doesn’t include YouTube Music Premium or features like downloads and background play.
With the recent expansion of the service, YouTube Premium Lite is now available in 9 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Mexico, Thailand, and United States.
