Can you start a new YouTube channel after termination?

Short answer: not while the termination stands.

Updated 13 November 2026

No. While a termination stands, YouTube does not allow you to use, own or create other channels. New channels linked to you are usually terminated as circumvention, which also weakens your appeal. The way back is a successful appeal of the original termination.

Not allowed

Circumvention rules apply.

Linked

New channels get found.

Appeal first

The only proper route.

Why new channels fail

They share your Google Account, phone, payment or device.
They upload the same content.
Fans and reporters connect them.

What to do instead

Appeal the termination.
Keep your audience on other platforms meanwhile.
If the appeal fails, consider professional help.
