Fubo Review 2024: Cost, Plans, and More

Fubo (formerly fuboTV) is a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, but it offers subscribers more sports-specific networks and playback features designed for game day.

While soccer is its specialty, it boasts plenty of league coverage from the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB. Plus, there’s no shortage of entertainment content to explore when your favorite team isn’t on.

At CableTV.com, we like Fubo for its massive channel lineups, add-on packages, and slick interface, but we don’t like its higher price.

It’s also just fun to say “Fubo.” But knowing the details of Fubo’s plans and pricing is essential. So, keep reading as we review all the ins and outs.

Fubo plans and pricing

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.

Fubo offers three English-language base plans: Pro, Elite, and Premier. Most features are similar across each plan, with channel counts being the main distinguisher.

• Pro ($79.99 a month) delivers 150+ channels with 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. Subscribers can also stream on up to 10 screens simultaneously at home.
• Elite ($89.99 a month) has the same channels and benefits as the Pro plan. However, it also includes the Fubo Extra and News Plus add-ons and access to 4K content.
• Premier ($99.99 a month) features everything from the Elite plan plus nine Paramount+ with SHOWTIME channels.

Fubo also offers the Latino package for those who prefer Spanish-language programming. The plan costs $32.99 a month, with 60+ channels, 250 DVR hours, and two simultaneous streams.

Fubo’s pricing is not bad when considering the number of available channels. But there’s a hidden regional sports fee depending on your billing location and how many regional sports networks (RSNs) you get. One RSN will cost you an added $11.99 a month, while the price for two or more is $14.99 a month.

What channels does Fubo include?

Fubo includes must-have sports channels like ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, and beIN SPORTS. It also carries cable TV staples like Syfy, HGTV, FX, Food Network, and USA Network, with previously aired programming available on demand.

MSNBC, CNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, and Cheddar News are also available.

What channels are missing from Fubo?

Besides TBS, TNT, and truTV, Fubo is missing some crucial channels that prospective cord-cutters might overlook at first glance. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone from your channel lineup. But TV life without AMC and Cartoon Network is rough.

Expand the list below to see some of the heavy hitters missing from Fubo.

Obviously, Fubo’s jam is sports—and the above list doesn’t even include every optional add-on available. If your sports tastes lean more varied and international (is there such a thing as a “sports hipster”?), Fubo probably has it.

Fubo local channels

Fubo doesn’t carry local channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, and Telemundo in all areas, but it does offer content on-demand from these networks.

Admit it: You don’t want to miss the new season of The Voice any more than we do. But it’s possible your plan could lack NBC in your area. If so, you may want to buy a digital over-the-air antenna to pick up local TV stations for free.

Fubo channel add-ons

Fubo’s basic plans can get you over 150 channels. But you can drop a few more bucks if you need even more sports or some extended entertainment.

Fubo specs and features: DVR storage and accessibility

Fubo more than holds its own when it comes to cloud DVR hours, simultaneous streams, and compatible devices—outperforming competitors like Sling TV and Vidgo. That said, the devil is in the details. Read on to understand some of Fubo’s limitations before you sign up.

Cloud DVR

Fubo’s three English-language base plans come with 1,000 hours of cloud DVR space. That’s not too shabby, but unlimited DVR storage is becoming the norm with other services.

Regardless, if you like to let those House Hunters episodes and Swiss Super League matches accumulate, you’ll appreciate Fubo’s DVR.

Simultaneous streams

Fubo’s Pro, Elite, and Premier plans give you 10 streams on the same home network. During our hundreds of hours of user testing, our team confirmed that you can’t stream Fubo at the same time on separate home networks. So, if you’re sharing your login with other households, you’ll need to factor in that little detail.

What devices support Fubo?

As seen in the list below, you can stream Fubo across many platforms that support the Fubo app and website. For the best streaming experience, keep your compatible devices updated with the latest software release. Fubo also recommends an internet connection of at least 3 Mbs for continuous streaming.

Is Fubo worth it?

For soccer and international sports fans, Fubo is a dream streamer. It’s one of CableTV.com’s no-brainer picks for the best live TV streaming service for sports.

For cord-cutters looking to replace cable or satellite service entirely, however, wake up: Fubo has a few holes in its channel lineup for us to fully recommend it as a stand-alone cable substitute.

But if your regular live TV viewing needs are minimal and you’ve been meaning to get into Australian women’s cricket (who hasn’t?), Fubo could open up a whole new world for you. Either way, it’s worth checking out Fubo’s seven-day free trial.
