Fubo is one of our picks for the best live TV streaming services you can sign up for, especially if you're a cord-cutter interested in sports from around the world. The platform is similar to Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV in terms of pricing and features.
However, Fubo lacks several popular cable networks from Warner Bros. Discovery, Turner, and AMC that you can get with other services. Fubo is also missing NBCUniversal channels (such as NBC, USA Network, and Bravo) due to a carriage dispute dating back to November 2025. While it's now missing a decent number of channels, it still offers a unique roster of international sports and Spanish-language packages.
The cost of Fubo varies depending on the packages you choose, so to get the most out of the service, you'll want to select the right plan for your needs. To help you get started, we compiled a complete guide to every Fubo plan, along with a full list of all the channels you get with each add-on package.
How much does Fubo cost?
Fubo currently offers two primary plans: Fubo Pro and Fubo Elite. The plans range in price from $74 a month to $84 a month. Pro and Elite plans previously cost $85 a month and $95 a month, respectively, but the plan prices were reduced in December 2025 following the NBCU channel blackout. Prior to that, the last price change was in January 2025, when the plans hiked up $5 a month each from their $80 a month and $90 a month starting prices.
The service also has a Spanish-language plan (Fubo Latino) that costs $15 a month and a relatively new sports and news-centric plan (Fubo Sports + News) that costs $56 a month.
Members can also pay extra for several add-on packages to unlock more channels. Add-ons range from $3 to $30 a month. Fubo Pro and Elite both include regional sports coverage, which typically has its own fees, so you might end up paying a bit more than the initial sticker price. Your regional sports fees should be revealed once you start the sign-up process and proceed to checkout.
Fubo previously offered an Essential plan, which cost $85 a month and shared the same channel lineup as Fubo Pro, but Essential didn't come with regional sports (or the associated extra fees). The Essential offering has since been discontinued for new customers. Fubo also used to offer an Ultimate plan, a higher tier than the Elite, but this no longer exists for new customers.
Fubo Pro Plan
Fubo's Pro Plan is the service's base offering for $74 a month. This option features 150+ channels (often much more), including local ABC, Fox, and CBS stations in supported markets. This package also offers popular cable stations like FX, ESPN, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, National Geographic, and more. Plus, it offers regional sports games, which come with an additional regional sports fee. Pro includes access to ESPN Unlimited.
Subscribers to the Pro Plan also get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and support for streaming on up to 10 devices at once using a home internet connection. This package is ideal for people who want a simple cable alternative without many specialty networks.
With the plan's generous support for multiple simultaneous streams, it's possible for an entire family to share the Pro Plan without having to fight over screen time.
Fubo Elite Plan
Fubo's Elite Plan is the service's top-tier offering, which has 200+ channels for $84 a month. This plan combines the base channel lineup found in the Pro plan with Fubo Extra channels, Fubo News Plus channels, and several sports networks. Elite includes access to ESPN Unlimited.
Select live sporting events are also available to stream in 4K UHD with the Elite Plan. Fubo also has a selection of on-demand content in 4K. To see if your device is compatible with the service's 4K streaming feature, check out the Fubo website.
Like the Pro and Essential plans, Fubo Elite also features unlimited Cloud DVR storage and support for up to 10 streaming devices simultaneously on your home internet. Fubo's Elite Plan includes the most variety for viewers who are willing to pay more for additional sports, entertainment, and news options.
Fubo Sports + News Plan
Fubo's Sports + News Plan is its newest subscription tier, offering a pared-down option that focuses on sports and key news networks. The plan offers around 26 channels, such as ESPN, FOX, CBS, and the NFL Network, among others.
Sports + News costs $56 a month and unlocks access to ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost. Like the pricier tiers, it also allows streaming on up to 10 screens while at home and Unlimited Cloud DVR.
Fubo Latino Plan
Fubo's Latino Plan is tailored for Spanish-speaking sports fans and is priced at $15 a month. It features around 50 channels, including BeIN Sports, ESPN Deportes, and Fox Deportes.
The Latino plan offers unlimited Cloud DVR storage and simultaneous streaming on two devices at a time.
Fubo channel add-ons and packages
The above subscriptions are just the base plans available on Fubo. Some of the most unique programming is available in the add-ons and additional channel packages. Below, you can find a selection of the most popular options, along with the channels you can find in them. Just keep in mind that these line-ups are subject to change and often differ depending on your exact location. Additionally, some of the channels found in the add-ons are included in the Fubo Elite tier. For example, Fubo Extra channels are included in Fubo Elite plans. Many of the foreign-language packages are also available as standalone offerings, not just as add-ons to a base plan.

FAQs
Does Fubo have a free trial?
Fubo usually offers a free trial for new customers, but the streaming service will occasionally remove the option. The free trial typically lasts for five days, although we've seen it as short a one day and as long as seven days.
Does Fubo have an introductory offer?
Fubo often offers a discounted first month of service for new customers, although the sign-up page sometimes nixes this option. The Latino plan is usually $5 off. As of February 2026, the Sports + News plan is $10 off in the first month, the Pro plan is $25 off in the first month, and the Elite plan is $30 off in the first month.
What is the downside to Fubo?
Fubo is missing several key cable channels that are included with most competing live TV services: Discovery Channel, TLC, HGTV, Food Network, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, TBS, TNT, truTV, CNN, AMC, NBC, USA Network, Bravo, and CNBC, among others.
Otherwise, the service offers a similar set of features and networks to those on other platforms like YouTube TV, DirecTV, and Hulu + Live TV. Fubo offers a similar starting price point to these competitors (it's even a bit cheaper than some following the NBCUniversal blackout-related price reduction), but it gets considerably more expensive once you start opting for premium add-ons and paying regional sports fees. However, it's the only live TV streaming service with such a wide range of international sports and foreign-language programming.
Does Fubo have DVR?
All of Fubo's US plans now come with an unlimited Cloud DVR feature. Subscribers can keep recordings for up to nine months.
Are Fubo and Hulu + Live TV merging?
Disney kicked off 2025 by announcing that Hulu + Live TV and Fubo would be combining businesses. The streaming services will remain separate apps for now, so current subscribers shouldn't expect to see changes anytime soon. The most immediate shift that this merger caused was that Fubo was allowed to create its new sports-centric plan featuring Disney-owned networks (ABC, ESPN, etc.) and ESPN Unlimited. Additionally, according to Disney's announcement, Fubo has settled litigation with Disney, ESPN, FOX, and Warner Bros. Discovery regarding Venu Sports.
