A method for indicating a channel resource, a terminal device and a network device are provided. The method includes that: at least two resource sets are determined, the at least two resource sets at least including a first resource set and a second resource set and different resource sets corresponding to different Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) mapping types or corresponding scheduling types respectively; and a first resource from one resource set of the at least two resource sets is determined. Respective resource scheduling flexibility of each scheduling type may be improved, higher resource utilization rate and transmission performance for channel transmission are achieved, and a higher signaling overhead is avoided.
