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. 1. Introduction For studying a dynamical system, it is mandatory to know its symmetries at classical and quantum level in order to research the relevant physical implications of them. Nowadays, there exist approaches that can be used for studying extensively the symmetr
