Fubo is returning to its sports roots with the launch of Fubo Sports, a new lower-cost streaming plan centered on live sports channels.
The new package, called Fubo Sports, will launch on September 2 and offer more than 20 sports-focused networks, including ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNews, ESPN U, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, SEC Network, Tennis Channel and the Fubo Sports Network. The tier also includes ABC, CBS and Fox owned-and-operated stations as well as affiliates in select markets.
Fubo Sports will cost $46 for the first month and $56 per month afterward. Features include on-demand programming, unlimited cloud DVR and family account sharing. At launch, the lineup will not include any channels from NBC Universal or Warner Bros Discovery. The Desk first reported Fubo’s intention to offer a slimmer, sports-only package back in March.
The service is being positioned as a slimmer, less-expensive option compared to Fubo’s existing pay TV packages, which more closely resemble traditional cable bundles. The company’s Pro plan costs $85 per month for 244 channels, while its Elite with Sports Plus plan runs $105 per month for 324 channels. Its top-end Deluxe package is $115 per month for 338 channels. Those plans also includes regional sports fees and taxes that drive up the cost of the service.
One of the marquee features of Fubo Sports is bundled access to ESPN Unlimited, Disney’s new direct-to-consumer sports streaming service that also incorporates ESPN Plus. Initially, subscribers will access ESPN Unlimited by authenticating through ESPN’s apps, but Fubo says it will soon become the first provider to deliver ESPN Unlimited directly to Fubo Sports customers. ESPN Unlimited is regularly priced at $30 per month as a standalone service.
In some regions, Fubo Sports subscribers will also receive access to local broadcast sports channels, depending on distribution agreements with affiliate stations.
The new package echoes Fubo’s early years, when the company launched in 2015 as a $7 per month soccer-centric service before expanding into a broader pay TV competitor. It also comes at a time when some of Fubo’s competitors, including DirecTV and Sling TV, have introduced smaller packages that include sports channels at much-lower prices.
“In our view, 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,” Fubo CEO David Gandler said in a statement. “The launch of Fubo Sports will add another content tier to our broad portfolio, super-serving passionate sports fans.”
The move comes as Fubo continues to face challenges with subscriber retention. In the second quarter of 2025, the company reported 1.356 million North American subscribers, down 6.5 percent from the previous year. Revenue in the region fell 3 percent to $371.3 million. Globally, revenue rose 4.7 percent to $8.7 million, though international subscribers fell 12.5 percent to 349,000.
