Want your ads on YouTube TV? Here’s what Google says you need

Why phrase match is losing ground to broad match in Google Ads

Google has outlined exactly what advertisers need to do to run campaigns on YouTube TV – from eligible formats to booking options – in a newly published help page.

Key details. From the help document:

  • Campaigns that meet eligibility rules can be booked via reserved media placements, Google Ads, or Display & Video 360.
  • Auction formats include 15-second non-skippable and 6-second bumper ads bought on tCPM, plus 30-second skippable in-stream ads on tCPM.
  • All ads must be free of music rights claims.
  • All categories are eligible if they comply with Google Ads and YouTube TV policies; political ads require additional verification and disclosures.
  • Creative review is mandatory before ads can serve.

Why we care. The help doc gives advertisers a one-stop reference for ensuring campaigns meet YouTube TV’s standards — potentially reducing delays and avoiding compliance issues.

Bottom line: By following the newly published guidelines, you can more easily unlock YouTube TV’s big-screen audience while confidently navigating policy, rights, and format requirements.
