NEW YORK — FuboTV has launched Fubo Sports, a skinny content service that will offer consumers a focused sports option of top networks at a lower price.
Sports fans can now subscribe to Fubo Sports, a standalone plan with 20+ sports and broadcast networks featuring national and local pro and college team coverage. Fubo will initially launch Fubo Sports in select markets with further market availability expected.
At launch, Fubo Sports will include local broadcast stations owned-and-operated by ABC, CBS and FOX plus additional affiliates in select markets as well as ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox News, FS1, FS2, Fubo Sports Network, ION, NFL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel with some network 4K content also available. Access to ESPN’s new direct-to-consumer Unlimited plan, which includes ESPN+, is bundled with a Fubo Sports subscription. Customers in select markets will also receive local broadcast sports channels. NBC is the only major network not included in this plan. Fubo says additional networks may be launched in the future.
Fubo Sports will be priced at $45.99 for the first month ($10 promo discount) and $55.99 per month going forward. In addition to live channels, Fubo Sports will include VOD, Unlimited DVR and Family Share.
“At Fubo, we have always believed a streaming service must provide consumers with multiple, flexible and more affordable content options – and that consumers should be able to subscribe to the content they choose,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, Fubo. “The launch of Fubo Sports will add another content tier to our broad portfolio, super-serving passionate sports fans. With our signature pay TV streaming service alongside standalone sports offerings, Pay-Per-View live events and now Fubo Sports, we will continue to offer consumers multiple competitively-priced content options within the Fubo ecosystem, free of friction.”
