Reelz is known for true crime and celebrity documentary series, and it has a loyal enough audience that people will pick a streaming service around it.
YouTube TV carries most of what a cable package carries, but not all of it, and this is one of the gaps.
So, is Reelz on YouTube TV? Here is the short version and what to do instead.
Is Reelz on YouTube TV?
No, Reelz is not on YouTube TV, and the cheapest way to get it is DIRECTV Stream at $86.99/month, and that subscription opens with a 5-day free trial.
Reelz has never been part of the YouTube TV Base Plan, and no add-on unlocks it.

How to watch Reelz?
You cannot watch Reelz through YouTube TV at any price.
Instead, DIRECTV Stream carries it on its base package at $86.99/month, and the first 5 days are free, which is enough if you only want it for a weekend.
Which YouTube TV plan includes Reelz?
Reelz is not on the YouTube TV Base Plan, and none of the add-ons (Sports Plus, Entertainment Plus, the Spanish plans) include it.
Paying YouTube TV more does not get you this channel.
Which number is Reelz on YouTube TV?
Reelz has no listing in the YouTube TV guide, so there is nothing to search for.
On DIRECTV Stream it appears in the guide like any other channel.
Which other streaming services carry Reelz?
Reelz is carried by DIRECTV Stream and Frndly TV.
If Reelz is the one channel keeping you from cutting cable, one of those costs less than YouTube TV does.

About Reelz
Reelz is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting and is built around true crime and celebrity documentary series.
The schedule leans on "On Patrol: Live," "Autopsy: The Last Hours Of" and "Murder Made Me Famous".
It is a mid-sized cable channel, which is exactly the kind that gets dropped when a streaming service renegotiates a carriage deal.
