Every Apple TV comes with a one-year limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary technical support.1 AppleCare+ extends your coverage to three years from your AppleCare+ purchase date and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage protection every 12 months, each subject to a service fee of $15, plus applicable tax.1 In addition, you'll get 24/7 priority access to Apple experts via chat or phone

Apple says that you must purchase AppleCare+ within 60 days of the purchase of your Apple TV 4K.

AppleCare+ for the Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD costs $30 or can be financed for $4.83 for 6 months.
