Does YouTube Premium include YouTube Music?
Yes — YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music Premium at no extra cost, so you shouldn't pay for both.
How it works
YouTube Premium ($15.99/mo) includes YouTube Music Premium at no extra cost — ad-free music, background play, and downloads — on top of ad-free YouTube videos.
The relationship is one-directional: YouTube Music Premium on its own ($11.99/mo) does NOT include ad-free regular YouTube videos.
What it's worth
If you pay for YouTube Premium AND a separate music subscription, you're double-paying — Premium already covers your music. Dropping a duplicate music service saves you its full monthly price.
How to claim it
- 1You already have it — just open the YouTube Music app.
- 2Sign in with the same account as your YouTube Premium subscription.
- 3Cancel any separate, redundant music subscription you no longer need.
Good to know: If you only subscribe to YouTube Music Premium (not full Premium), you won't get ad-free regular YouTube videos.
