What countries can access YouTube TV?

If it does roll out to other countries it's going to be a while before we hear about it.
What are the currently covered areas for YouTube TV?
YouTube TV delivers both local, and national programming, and that's where things get tricky. Right now, YouTube TV is available in over 30 different Metropolitan markets and the local programming therein.

Yes, Google initially rolled out YouTube TV to 10 major metropolitan markets. Since then it's already expanded into more than 40 markets, with more room to grow.

This means that even if you aren't in a city with YouTube TV right now, that may change sooner than you think.
