FuboTV Review

FuboTV isn't just for sports fans, though, even if that's who it's best for. This live TV streaming service also offers popular channels including MSNBC, FX, Hallmark, USA, Food Network, and more. In fact, you'll get more than 120 channels with fuboTV, which is more than all of its competitors.

*Streaming service package information accurate as of 08/19/2022.

While it costs the same as two of its competitors — Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV STREAM — fuboTV streaming offers more channels than both of them. Where Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV STREAM shine is with their unlimited DVR storage, and on the more wallet-friendly end of the spectrum, Sling TV is much cheaper than fuboTV. (However, it has about a quarter of the number of channels.)

FuboTV stands out because it has a lot of sports channels.

How much does fuboTV cost?

Before we get into the fuboTV cost, let's take a closer look at what the streamer offers. There are three primary fuboTV plans: Pro, Elite, and Ultimate. They vary by the number of channels and services, which means there are a few different fuboTV subscription costs.

• Pro: fuboTV's entry level plan comes with more than 120 channels with 1,000 hours of cloud DVR storage. Additionally, subscribers can simultaneously stream on an unlimited number of screens, including 10 at home. Although the Pro plan is normally $93/mo., it's currently discounted to $70/mo.

• Elite: fuboTV's Elite plan has more than 170 channels, plus an additional 40+ channels in the fubo Extra plan, which is normally an extra $8/mo. You'll also get the News Plus bonus, which is more than 10 channels. It has the same amount of cloud DVR storage and simultaneous streams as the Pro plan. The price for this plan is $80/mo.

• Ultimate: fuboTV's Ultimate plan has more than 200 channels and includes the extras in the Elite plan. You'll also get Sports Plus with NFL Redzone and Showtime. This plan is $100/mo.
