Cutting the cord used to be the easy way to save money on television. These days, you can replace a cable bill with several streaming subscriptions and somehow end up paying just as much. Fubo is one of the services trying to make life easier, especially if live sports are a major part of what your household watches.
The service combines live television with on-demand programming, cloud DVR, and a collection of sports and entertainment add-ons. You can watch through a streaming device, smart TV, phone, tablet, or browser, and there’s no traditional cable box or long-term contract to worry about.
In recent times, Fubo has gone through quite a number of changes, which prompted us to refresh our guide. The company completed its combination with Disney’s Hulu + Live TV business in October 2025, introduced more flexible packages, and brought NBCUniversal channels back in 2026. But with all these changes, there’s also that unfortunate price increase. Fubo’s main Pro plan now costs $88.99 per month, while Elite is $98.99, before any applicable regional sports fees.
You also have cheaper ways in, including a $64.99 Sports + News plan and a $19.99 Latino package. The question is whether those plans carry the channels you actually need. Here’s how Fubo works, what each package includes, and where the extra charges can sneak into your bill.
Fubo is a live TV streaming service with an emphasis on sports. Rather than receiving channels through a cable or satellite connection, you stream them over the internet using the Fubo app or website. The service includes live channels, on-demand shows and movies, and cloud-based recording. Its strongest selling point is the combination of national sports networks, local broadcast channels, and regional sports coverage in eligible markets.
All of this makes it great for viewers who want to follow their local NBA, NHL, or MLB teams alongside nationally televised games. Fubo is available in the United States, Canada, and Spain, although the content, prices, and packages differ between countries. This guide focuses on the US service and US pricing.
No. Disney and Fubo completed their business combination on October 29, 2025, but the two services continue to operate as separate consumer brands. You can still subscribe to Fubo or Hulu + Live TV independently, and existing customers do not need to merge their accounts.
Fubo now offers a referral-based purchasing route for Hulu + Live TV through its website. If you choose Hulu, you are sent to Hulu to complete the purchase, and Hulu remains responsible for viewing, account management, and cancellation. The two services have also begun sharing certain programming opportunities, including Fubo Sports Network’s addition to Hulu + Live TV in February 2026. How much does Fubo cost? Plans and pricing
Fubo’s main featured US plans are Sports + News, Pro, Elite, and Latino. Sports + News is available only in selected markets, while some other packages are also location-specific or limited to existing subscribers. These are the regular monthly prices, rather than temporary introductory offers.
Fubo’s current football offers advertise more than 210 channels for Pro and more than 280 for Elite. Those are marketing figures, and the actual channel count can vary by ZIP code and offer. So check the live plan selector for the lineup available at your address.
Sports + News is the cheaper option for people who care primarily about nationally televised games. It includes ESPN programming, ESPN Unlimited, major broadcast networks in eligible markets, and a collection of national sports and news channels. The plan originally launched in selected areas and remains geographically limited. Its local channel lineup can also differ from Fubo’s broader packages, so you should enter your ZIP code before assuming a particular station is included.
This plan does not provide the same broad RSN lineup as Pro, but Fubo lists eligible local broadcast coverage for teams including the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Vegas Golden Knights, and Utah Mammoth. For NFL fans who mainly want CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network, Sports + News is worth considering before paying for Pro. It will not replace every separate streaming subscription required for exclusive games.
Pro is Fubo’s main full live-TV package. It combines national sports, local broadcast channels, news, entertainment, and regional sports networks in supported areas. The regional coverage is the main reason to choose it over Sports + News. Fubo carries a number of local-team networks, but the lineup has changed significantly in 2026, so it is essential to check your team rather than assume an old RSN is still available.
Pro includes unlimited cloud DVR and Unlimited Screens, allowing up to 10 streams on your home network and three additional streams away from home on supported mobile devices or browsers. It also includes ESPN Unlimited access for eligible subscribers. At $88.99, Pro is firmly in premium live-TV territory. The regional sports fee can push the total higher, so the advertised price is only the starting point for comparing it against YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or a dedicated team-streaming service.
Elite adds more specialty channels to the Pro lineup. Fubo lists Fubo Extra and News Plus among its included benefits, along with unlimited DVR, Unlimited Screens, and access to eligible 4K programming. The additional $10 can make sense if you would otherwise pay separately for those packages. This is worth choosing if your viewing is mostly ESPN, FOX Sports, local games, and a few regular TV networks.
Elite is also the safer choice for someone subscribing specifically because they want Fubo’s limited 4K sports coverage. Fubo’s dedicated 4K eligibility page lists Elite and other qualifying higher tiers, but does not list standard Pro.
Fubo Latino is a standalone Spanish-language plan, rather than an add-on to Pro. It includes a lineup of Spanish-language sports, news, movies, and entertainment, unlimited cloud DVR, and two simultaneous streams. The regular price increased to $19.99 in June 2026 for new customers, with existing monthly subscribers moving to the new rate on or after July 1. That replaces the $14.99 figure still found in older guides.
Fubo also has additional packages that may appear in selected markets or existing subscriber accounts. Core and Ultra are market-specific alternatives, with regular rates of $88.99 and $98.99, respectively. Ultra includes additional channels and 4K access. The latest price notice also lists Essential at $88.99, Ultimate at $113.99, and Deluxe at $118.99.
It’s best to compare its included channels and add-ons before switching. Moving to a current package may change what you receive, and you may not be able to return to a discontinued offer.
Fubo’s regional sports fee is one of the most important things to understand before subscribing. If your plan and location include qualifying regional sports coverage, the fee is added automatically. It cannot simply be removed while you keep the same plan and regional channels.
Fubo’s current policy lists the fee at up to $16.99 per month, depending on your area. Customers billed through Roku have a separately stated $16 monthly fee. If your package does not include regional sports coverage, the fee does not apply. This means a Pro subscription with the maximum $16.99 fee would cost $105.98 per month before taxes and extras. Elite would reach $115.98. Those are examples, rather than universal bills, but they show why the checkout total matters more than the advertised base price.
Fubo currently advertises introductory offers, but eligibility, duration, and signup route vary. Always check the regular renewal price and the date your paid subscription begins.
Fubo’s channel lineup is one of its biggest selling points, but it is also where you need to do the most homework. A service can advertise hundreds of channels and still be missing the one network that carries your favorite show or team. The table below gives you a practical overview of the major categories. It is not a promise that every listed channel is included in every package.
Fubo’s official channel finder lets you search for a network and see which plans or add-ons carry it.
As of earlier this year, Fubo and NBCUniversal reached a new distribution agreement on June 10, 2026, ending a carriage dispute that had removed NBCU programming in November 2025. Telemundo and Universo returned first, with NBC, Bravo, NBCSN, and eligible regional sports networks scheduled for a phased rollout. Fubo had confirmed nationwide coverage of ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC markets. That is an important update for football season and resolves the broad local-NBC availability problem that persisted earlier in the summer.
Fubo still has significant entertainment gaps. Several major Warner Bros. Discovery networks, including TNT, TBS, CNN, HGTV, and Food Network, remain absent from its broader lineup. The NBCUniversal agreement also leaves owned Versant channels outside the restoration. This can be a deal-breaker for households that want a broad mix of sports, news, and entertainment.
It is particularly important when a sporting event is carried by a network Fubo does not have. Before subscribing, enter your ZIP code on Fubo’s website and use Compare plans. Search for specific channels, confirm the package that includes them, and check whether the network is available as an add-on or absent entirely.
Fubo’s sports coverage is broad, although it is spread across national networks, local broadcasters, regional sports channels, and optional league packages. For NFL fans, the service carries the major broadcast and cable networks used for nationally televised games, including CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network, subject to local availability. Sports Plus adds NFL RedZone for following Sunday afternoon action across multiple games. You will still need separate services for certain streaming-exclusive games and out-of-market Sunday coverage.
College sports are another strong area. In late August, Fubo added ACC Network Extra and SEC Network+ to its English-language plans at no extra cost, bringing access to more than 2,500 additional live college events across the season. Fubo also provides ESPN Unlimited access with eligible plans, but the method of watching it differs between Sports + News and the other English-language packages.
Soccer fans will find a mix of national, international, and Spanish-language coverage through ESPN, FOX, beIN SPORTS, and other eligible networks or add-ons. League rights change, so check the current competition and match schedule rather than assuming every game from a particular league is included.
Fubo offers a large collection of optional channel packs. Some expand an existing subscription, while selected services are also available separately through the Fubo Channel Store.
The main thing to watch for is overlap. Elite already includes Fubo Extra and News Plus, and some sports channels appear in multiple packages. Check your current lineup before adding another monthly charge.
These prices are listed in Fubo’s current Channel Store or official sports offers. MLB.TV can also be purchased separately without a standard Fubo base plan. Fubo also lists Sports Lite, International Sports Plus, and Adventure Plus among its available add-ons. Current third-party guides publish prices of $9.99, $6.99, and $4.99 per month, respectively, but I could not independently confirm those exact rates through Fubo’s live checkout. Treat them as indicative and verify the amount before adding them.
NBA League Pass has appeared in Fubo’s previous add-on lineup, but I could not verify a current September sale price or availability for a new subscription. Its older $16.99 figure should therefore be removed from the main price table until a current offer is available.
These rates are now supported by Fubo’s current Channel Store. STARZ, MGM+, and the three-service bundle each increased by $1 beginning with billing cycles on or after May 3, 2026.
Fubo’s current English-language plans include Unlimited Screens, allowing up to 10 simultaneous streams on your home network and three additional streams away from home using supported mobile devices or web browsers. Latino includes two streams by default. Keep in mind that connected TV devices can only be used from one location at a time. You cannot simply share one account between two households and stream on televisions at both addresses simultaneously. Mobile devices and browsers have more flexibility when away from home.
Yes, but 4K is limited to selected events and qualifying plans. Fubo’s standard eligibility documentation lists Elite, Deluxe, Premier, Ultimate, and other qualifying higher-tier packages. It does not list regular Pro as a standard 4K plan. You will also need a compatible 4K device, television, and internet connection. Fubo recommends at least 25Mbps for 4K streaming, and some events require HDR10-compatible equipment.
Fubo currently does not support recording 4K programming or using pause, rewind, and fast-forward controls during live 4K broadcasts. Unlimited DVR does not override those restrictions.
Multiview lets you watch several live channels on one screen, which is particularly useful when multiple games are happening at the same time. Apple TV supports up to four views, while selected Roku devices support Multiview with model, operating-system, and app-version restrictions. Some Roku models are limited to two views. Fubo has also announced expansion to selected LG televisions, but the retrieved support documentation does not establish a completed general rollout.
Fubo is available on most major streaming platforms, but older hardware can lose support as app requirements change.
Fubo’s current device documentation provides the detailed model requirements. Older Amazon Fire TV and Android devices that cannot update to Android 7.0 lost support in February 2026. So if you have an older streaming stick or smart TV, check its software version before subscribing. Multiview and 4K have additional hardware requirements beyond basic Fubo app compatibility.
You can compare packages and search channels before creating an account. Once you are ready to subscribe, Fubo’s official signup flow works as follows.
Step 1: Visit Fubo’s website and create an account using your email address, a password, and the ZIP code where you will be watching.
Step 2: Choose a plan. Use Compare Plans to see the packages available in your area, and check the channels you care about before continuing.
Step 3: Enter your billing information. Fubo will show the amount due, any trial period, and the date your paid subscription begins.
Step 4: Review the final checkout summary and confirm the subscription.
Step 5: Fubo may offer additional channel packs after signup. Review their prices and trial terms carefully before adding them, or skip the extras and start watching.
Free trials are generally limited to eligible new customers, and not every plan or add-on includes one. The duration varies by offer, so do not assume you will automatically receive seven days. Fubo will begin charging the applicable subscription price unless you cancel before the trial ends.
Fubo is generally a month-to-month service, but certain promotional offers can include commitment periods and early cancellation fees. Check the terms if you signed up through a special device or discount offer. For those subscribed directly through Fubo’s website, sign in, open My Account > Subscription, and select Cancel. Continue through any retention offers until you receive a cancellation confirmation. If you subscribed through Roku, manage the subscription through your Roku account instead.
A paid subscription usually remains active until the end of the current billing period, and Fubo does not provide refunds for prepaid or partial months. Trial cancellation works differently: canceling a trial purchased directly through Fubo ends access immediately, while a Roku-billed trial continues until its scheduled end. Fubo’s current support documentation also says subscription pausing and suspension are unavailable. Older guides that describe a pause option should be updated rather than reused.
Fubo’s biggest competition comes from services that offer a broader entertainment lineup or a lower entry price.
So Fubo looks attractive when its regional sports coverage matches your local teams. YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV are easier choices for some households that want a wider mix of entertainment, news, and sports, especially when Fubo’s missing networks are important.
Fubo can be worth the money for the right sports fan, but it is no longer an easy recommendation based on price alone. Its strengths are its national sports coverage, eligible local-team programming, flexible packages, unlimited DVR, and extensive device support. The return of NBC has also filled a major gap, and the addition of ACCNX and SECN+ gives college sports fans another reason to consider the service.
The downside is the cost. Pro starts at $88.99 before applicable regional sports fees, and Elite reaches $98.99. Add NFL RedZone, a premium movie service, or another specialty package, and the monthly total can climb quickly. Fubo also remains without several major entertainment networks, while the loss of FanDuel Sports Networks means local-team coverage needs more careful checking than ever.
If your household follows a team whose games are difficult to find elsewhere, Fubo deserves a close look. If you mainly want general television with occasional sports, compare the exact channels and total monthly bill against YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or a smaller sports package before committing.
Fubo’s featured U.S. plans currently cost $64.99 for Sports + News, $88.99 for Pro, $98.99 for Elite, and $19.99 for Latino. Taxes, applicable regional sports fees, and optional add-ons can increase the total. Other market-specific and existing-subscriber plans may cost more.
Yes, eligible new customers can receive a free trial, but availability and duration vary by plan and promotion. Check the exact trial end date and renewal price at checkout.
Fubo has a limited free, ad-supported experience called Fubo Free for select former subscribers on supported devices. It includes a collection of free channels, but it is not a replacement for the paid live-TV packages. Availability is restricted, and it is not offered to every new user.
Yes. Standard US English-language plans that include ESPN also include ESPN Unlimited access. Sports + News integrates the programming into Fubo, while subscribers to other eligible plans activate access through a MyDisney account and use the ESPN app or website. Latino is excluded.
No. Fubo carries major broadcast and cable networks used for NFL games, subject to local availability, but streaming-exclusive games and out-of-market Sunday coverage may require separate subscriptions. NFL RedZone also does not replace NFL Sunday Ticket.
A U.S. Fubo subscription is restricted to the United States and its territories. Fubo has separate services in Canada and Spain, but those do not make a US subscription portable internationally.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.
Instagram brings Reels and more to Apple TV
Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
