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.[3] 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.
As of 2018, Fubo was available in the United States, Canada and Spain.[4] 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. 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 November 2023, the company says it has 1.888 million global paying subscribers,[6] including 1.447 million subscribers in North America.[7]
Features[edit]
Fubo built its tech stack internally[72] and, in 2017, launched features like Cloud DVR storage, pausing and unpausing live streams and lookback of previously aired content for 72 hours[73] Fubo offers two simultaneous streams as part of its base subscription package and, in March 2018, introduced a third stream for $5.99 per month.[74]
Fubo became the second over-the-top internet television service to get integrated to the TV app on Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad.[75] Fubo guide is not compatible with access technologies such as iOS Voice Over, Android Talk Back and JAWS.
Ratings[edit]
Fubo earned the highest score in J.D. Power's customer satisfaction survey among live TV streaming providers in 2022, with 789 points in aggregate on a scale of 1,000 possible points, three points higher than Dish Network's Sling TV.[76]
