FuboTV, Inc., formerly known as the FaceBank Group, and its subsidiary FuboTV Media, Inc., which operates as FuboTV or Fubo, comprise an American over-the-top sports streaming television service that serves customers in Canada, Spain, and the US. [2] Fubo is based in Midtown Manhattan. The service focuses primarily on channels that distribute live sports. Depending on the country it is accessed in, channels offered by Fubo include access to the Premier League, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, CPL, and international football, as well as news, network television series, and movies.[3]

Launched on January 1, 2015, as a soccer streaming service, Fubo changed to an all-sports service in 2017 and then to a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) model.[4] As a vMVPD, Fubo still markets itself as a sports-first service, but it has since expanded its programming to include channels that fall under other genres, including ones with reality shows, premium movies and cable news.

In the U.S., there are several service options with different channel lineups, including a base package of over 100 linear content channels, which also include free content streams that are found on competing services like YouTube TV. A number of add-on packages are also available for viewers who want more programming options, Spanish-language content, premium movie networks or additional features.[5] As of February 2025, the company says it has 2.038 million global paying subscribers, including 1.676 million subscribers in North America.[6]

On January 6, 2025, the Walt Disney Company announced its intent to acquire a 70% stake in Fubo, who will merge with Hulu's live TV service. The combined company will remain public, but will be controlled by Disney shareholders and will be a sister service to Disney+, ESPN+, and the aforementioned Hulu. The merger will take 12 to 18 months (median average - 15 months) according to Disney and Fubo, meaning that the merger will be set to be completed between January 2026 and July 2026 (median average - April 2026). It is unknown if Disney will acquire Paramount's undisclosed stake. On July 28, 2025, the merger was rescheduled to between October 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 (median average - December 30, 2025).[7] This accelerated the closing from what was initially believed to be anytime between January 1, 2026 and June 30, 2026 (median average - April 1, 2026)[8]
