FuboTV has announced its newest streaming option with Fubo Sports, a sports-focused streaming service debuting on September 2nd, 2025.
The new, smaller bundle will offer subscribers access to more than 20 national and local sports and broadcast networks for just $55.99 per month. The launch marks a significant milestone, coming six months after Disney acquired a controlling 70% stake in Fubo through a settlement that ended a high-profile lawsuit against Disney.

Channel Lineup
Similar to other Fubo tiers, Fubo Sports provides a robust lineup with major sports networks such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, SEC Network, ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, Tennis Channel, and the Fubo Sports Network.
The service will also include local broadcast channels owned by ABC, CBS, and FOX, with some channels varying by market, and 4K streaming support. A particular highlight is the bundled access to ESPN’s direct-to-consumer Unlimited plan, which incorporates ESPN’s content with Fubo.
Compared to Fubo’s Other Tiers
Fubo Sports will complement the service’s existing tiers, which include Pro, Elite with Sports Plus, and Latino. This will allow Disney to offer flexible, tiered pricing options that can target different consumer groups.

Disney Acquiring Fubo
The creation of Fubo Sports stems from a dispute in 2024. Fubo launched a federal antitrust lawsuit challenging Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery in February 2024 over their proposed Venu Sports joint venture.
The new streaming service was seen as a consolidation of market power and a possible way to block competitors. While Fubo had a minor victory in the case in August 2024, Fubo ultimately settled with Disney in January 2025. This led to Disney’s acquisition of a majority stake in the company, along with other financial terms.
The settlement may have cancelled the Venu Sports joint venture, but Disney was able to get control of Fubo, merging Disney’s Hulu + Live TV and Fubo ventures into a combined operation serving over 6.2 million North American subscribers.
Sports Streaming Industry Trends
Disney’s acquisition reflects a broader trend in the sports streaming industry where large media conglomerates choose to consolidate competitors rather than competing with them.
Disney, with its extensive content portfolio, technological infrastructure, and financial resources, has positioned itself as a dominant player in live sports streaming in the U.S. Fubo Sports not only extends control over premium sports advertising but also controls content creation, aggregation, and distribution.
The monthly $55.99 price also competes against traditional cable bundles and standalone services like Fox’s sports platform at $19.99/month.

A Flexible Content Option
David Gandler, Fubo’s CEO, noted the launch as delivering on the promise of flexible, affordable, consumer-driven content options within a larger, more resourceful platform. Though it is interesting to note Fubo’s journey from independent to subsidiary, reflecting the broader change as smaller services struggle against major conglomerates.
As live sports content continues to grow in the streaming world, Disney’s new control over Fubo positions the company favorably for the upcoming fall sports seasons, including the NFL and college football.
In conclusion, Fubo Sports embodies the convergence of technological innovation, strategic consolidation, and regulatory navigation that’s reshaping the world of sports streaming.
