Fubo Sports is a $55.99 / month streaming bundle made for watching football

Fubo is launching a new Sports plan on September 2nd that costs $55.99 per month and comes with over 20 live sports and news-focused channels, including the ESPN and Fox Sports channels, as well as local stations owned by ABC, CBS, and Fox. Where available, this package includes coverage for network TV-broadcast pro and college football games that might slip through the cracks of other streaming options, while going light on channels that aren’t all about sports: > 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. Additional networks may be launched. To start, Fubo Sports is only launching in “select markets” where broadcasters own or partner with local affiliates, but the service plans to expand its availability in the future. The “skinny” bundle also comes with all of the content in ESPN’s “Unlimited” $29.99 package, like the network’s 12 channels, and ESPN+ streaming options. Last year, Fubo sued Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, and Fox over plans to create the now-scrapped sports streaming superpower, Venu. Fubo agreed to drop its lawsuit after reaching an agreement to merge with Hulu + Live TV next year, creating a new venture majority-owned by Disney. At $55.99 per month, Fubo Sports sits between the $70 sports-focused plans offered by Comcast and DirecTV, and the $40 bundle with ESPN and Fox One. It also comes with some perks of a standard Fubo subscription, including multiview, a “catch up to live” feature that shows you highlights of a game you’re late to, and unlimited DVR.
