Prices, launch date, channels in TV -sports bundle
When FUBOTV was first launched in 2015, it was aimed at football fans with a slim bundle with football-oriented live channels that cost $ 7 a month. But within a few years Fubo had expanded the canal setup and today offers “thick” TV packages that are just as expensive as legacy cable and satellite TV.
Now, in a certain sense, the company is back to its roots, with Fubo Sports: a new “lean” in itself standing streaming plan with 20-plus sports-oriented channels, including access to ESPN Unlimited, available from 2 September at a lower price than the existing packages.
Fubo Sports costs $ 45.99 for the first month and then $ 55.99 per month. In addition to live channels, Fubo Sports On-Demand video, unlimited DVR and functions for sharing families.
Although $ 56 may not seem like a bargain every month, it is less pricey than many other PAY TV packages. This includes Fubo’s own other plans: Pro ($ 84.99/m., 244 channels), Elite with Sport Plus ($ 104.99/m., 324 channels) and Deluxe ($ 114.99/mo., 338 channels). Also note that Disney’s regular prices for ESPN Unlimited, since the independent service is regularly priced for $ 29.99/month.
With the launch, FUBO Sports includes local ABC, CBS and FOX stations owned and exploitation plus extra affiliated companies in selected markets. The Line -UP also includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, FOX News, FS1, FS2, FUBO Sports Network, ION, NFL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel. Note that the package does not contain any channels of NBCUIVERSAL or Warner Bros. Discovery.
Fubo Sports subscribers also have access to the recently launched ESPN Unlimited Direct-to-Consumer service, including ESPN+. The inclusion of ESPN Unlimited in Fubo Sports will initially be by authentication (ie viewers must log in via ESPN’s apps); Fubo is one of the few pay TV providers who are hand with ESPN to bundle the new streaming service with their plans. In the coming weeks, Fubo will be the first provider to make ESPN available unlimited for Fubo Sports subscribers.
In addition, customers in selected markets also receive local employment channels.
Fubo will initially launch Fubo sports in large markets. The service will expand the rollout in the coming months, because affiliated companies register for Fubo’s recent distribution agreements with broadcasters for Fubo Sports.
In the meantime there is some history here.
At the beginning of 2024, Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery a joint venture to launch a sports streaming service. After the announcement, Fubo submitted a federal antitrust right case against the three media companies, claiming that the companies (together with Disney’s ESPN and Hulu) had “submitted a campaign of years to block the innovative sport-first streaming activities of both Fubo, which resulted in substantial damage to both Fubo damage”.
The Disney-Fox-WBD company was named Venu Sports, and the partners hoped to debut the service of $ 42.99 per month in the fall of 2024. But only a few weeks before Venu launched, a judge ruled in favor of Fubo and blocked it. In January 2025 Disney announced a deal with Fubo to combine Hulu + Live TV with Fubo’s activities in a joint venture majority in the hands of Disney, a deal that is expected to be closed in 2026. As part of the deal, FUBO dropped its antitute legislation against the VENU partners. Less than a week later, Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery that they would close Venu Sports.
In de FUBO-sportaankondiging van donderdag zei David Gandler, mede-oprichter en CEO van het bedrijf: “Bij FUBO hebben we altijd geloofd dat een streaming-service consumenten meerdere, flexibele en meer betaalbare inhoudsopties moet bieden-en dat consumenten moeten kunnen abonneren op de inhoud die ze kiezen”, zei “De lancering van FUBO Sports zal een andere inhoud toevoegen aan onze brede portefeuille, Super-Superside Sports fans “.
In the second quarter of 2025, FUBO reported the total turnover of North America of $ 371.3 million, a decrease of 3% on an annual basis and 1,356 million paid subscribers, a decrease of 6.5%. In the rest of the world, the company had $ 8.7 million in total turnover (an increase of 4.7%) and 349,000 paid subscribers (with 12.5%). In the second quarter, the net loss of continuing operations was $ 8.0 million, an improvement in a loss compared to continued activities of $ 25.8 million in the period of the year.
