Abstract: The covariant canonical analysis for Yang‐Mills theory expressed as a BF‐like action is performed. We study a BF‐like action, that in spite of being the coupling of two topological terms, yield, on shell to Yang‐Mills action. In addition, by using the results obtained in the covariant canonical approach we study the symmetries of the action, in particular we calculate its energy‐momentum tensor obtaining the same tensor found for Yang‐Mills theory; then we confirm those results by using Noether′s theorem.
