Big news for YouTube fans in Singapore! Today marks the beginning of the YouTube Premium Lite pilot’s expansion to our sunny shores. This new, more affordable subscription offers a fantastic way to enjoy most of your favorite YouTube videos without ads, all for just S$7.98 per month.

The rollout kicks off today, and we expect it to be fully available across the entire country in the coming weeks. This expansion highlights our ongoing commitment to innovating our subscription offerings, building on the incredible success of YouTube Music and Premium, which recently celebrated a milestone of over 125 million subscribers worldwide!

What is Premium Lite, and is it right for you?

Premium Lite is specifically designed for viewers who primarily want an ad-free viewing experience. Think uninterrupted gaming streams, binge-watching comedy sketches, learning new recipes, or diving into educational content. It works seamlessly across all your devices – whether you’re watching on your phone, laptop, or smart TV.

It’s important to understand what Premium Lite offers: while you’ll enjoy ad-free viewing for most videos, you might still see ads on music content and Shorts, as well as when you search or browse.

If you’re someone who loves listening to music on YouTube and YouTube Music without ads, along with features like offline downloads and background play, then our existing YouTube Premium plan is still the best choice for you.

Youtube’s commitment to Flexibility and Creators

The introduction of YouTube Premium Lite in Singapore underscores our dedication to providing flexible options that cater to everyone’s unique viewing preferences. We want to make it easier for you to enjoy content from the incredible array of creators and genres available on YouTube, with fewer interruptions.

This expansion also continues to create additional revenue opportunities for the creators and partners who make YouTube such a vibrant and diverse platform. We’re excited to continue expanding our Premium Lite pilots to more countries and introduce even more ways for users to get the most from their subscriptions throughout the year.
