Sports-inclusive streaming service Fubo will gain the ability to offer games from the Dallas Mavericks, Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche as part of a new multi-year carriage deal with local television broadcaster TEGNA, the companies announced on Thursday.
The deal allows Fubo to continue offering dozens of TEGNA-owned ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC affiliates to its subscribers, as well as three independent channels that now have local sports rights.
Starting this week, Fubo subscribers in Dallas have access to KFAA (Channel 29), a recently-relaunched independent station that shares Dallas Mavericks games with WFAA (Channel 8, ABC). In the coming weeks, Fubo will also add KONG (Channel 16) in Seattle and KTVD (Channel 20) in Denver, which will allow the service to offer comprehensive local coverage of Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche games in those markets.
“We’re thrilled to enhance access for viewers and fans through our partnership with Fubo,” said Brad Ramsey, the Senior vice President of Media Operations at TEGNA. “By leveraging Fubo’s innovative platform and our dedication to collaborating with premier NBA and NHL teams in our markets, we’re committed to ensuring fans never miss a moment of the action.”
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Fubo offers access to local broadcast and national cable networks, including sports-inclusive channels like ESPN, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), Fox Sports 2 (FS2), CBS Sports Network and regional sports channels, starting at $80 per month plus local taxes and fees.
