YouTube Premium is priced at $11.99 per month or $17.99 per month for a Family Plan, but comes with a three-month free trial for a limited time. The services are available in the U.S, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South Korea in addition to 12 new countries including Austria, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Current YouTube Red and Google Play Music members (including family plans) in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Mexico automatically get YouTube Premium at their current price, and Google Play Music subscribers in all other countries will automatically get YouTube Music Premium at their current price as it becomes available.
