Line 83:
* In a lot of ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfiction that puts Naruto and Hinata in the spotlight, Sasuke and Sakura are usually the Beta Couple. The inverse is also possible - for example, in [[White Rain]], Sasuke and Sakura are the main pairing, with Naruto and Hinata as the Beta Couple.
** For those who don't particularly like Sasuke and Sakura, there are a lot of other pairings that can step up to the plate.
* In the ''Sailor Moon'' fanfic ''[[Isekai by Moonlight]]'', Urawa Ryo(u) gets a promotion from two-episode wonder to become half of the story's Beta Couple, alongside his canon love interest Sailor Mercury.

Line 180:
* Slater and Jessie on ''[[Saved by the Bell]]'' (to main couple Zack and Kelly).
* Chris and Shaz in ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]''
* Helo and Athena in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', {{spoiler|especially considering they are one of the only couples that remain steady throughout the series.}}
* One could say ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' has a Beta Couple (Marshall and Lily), but no real Alpha couple. Alternately, if you say Marshall and Lily are the Alpha couple, then Ted and Robin were the Beta couple at least in the first two seasons.
** Or you could say that Marshall and Lily are the Beta couple while Ted and Current Love Interest is the Alpha Couple.
