Fubo Now Offers Standalone Premium Subscription Services
October 24, 2024
Sports streamer FuboTV has launched new premium options from services including Paramount+, Showtime, FanDuel and NBA without the need for a basic Fubo subscription. FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports Network) will be available in Fubo’s Pro base plan while Paramount+ With Showtime and NBA League Pass will be offered as add-on channel packages. In addition, the Fubo Free collection of nearly 200 FAST channels will be available to subscribers of the new standalone packages. Fubo “aggregates more than 400 live sports, news and entertainment networks and is the only live TV streaming platform with every Nielsen-rated sports channel.”
According to Broadband TV News, “additional standalone premium subscription services, both live linear and SVOD, will be announced at a later date.”
“Fubo customers who subscribe to live linear subscription services will also receive Unlimited Cloud DVR and the ability to stream from multiple screens simultaneously,” adds Sportcal.
Fubo will now offer three different channel plan tiers, as detailed by the news release:
- Fubo Free: A foundational free tier of FAST channels available to former Fubo paid and free trial subscribers as well as to subscribers of premium subscription services.
- Premium Subscription Services: These services, which include both live linear and SVOD, can be purchased as standalones and do not require the purchase of the main Fubo product. Fubo is also exploring the launch of other content offerings such as pay-per-view (PPV), transactional video on demand (TVOD) and skinny bundles.
- Virtual MVPD: Fubo continues to offer its signature vMVPD channel plans that aggregate the best in live sports, news and entertainment alongside a robust VOD offering.
“Our vision to be a super aggregator aims to give consumers a seamless way to access all of the content they love within the Fubo ecosystem and at appropriate price points,” explained Fubo CEO and co-founder David Gandler.
“With the addition of standalone live and SVOD premium subscriptions, we believe offering multiple bundles, from skinny to fat, will put choice in the hands of our customers,” he added. “This is what streaming should be.”
