Fubo's current pricing and what each plan includes
Fubo offers three main subscription tiers, each with a different price and channel lineup. As of now, the base plan starts at a lower price point than the premium options, though the exact cost varies depending on your location and whether you are a new or returning subscriber. Fubo frequently runs promotional offers for the first few months, so the price you see advertised may not be what you pay long-term.
The standard plan includes live TV channels focused on sports, news, and entertainment. The mid-tier plan adds more channels and typically includes cloud DVR storage so you can record shows. The top-tier plan expands the channel count further and may bundle in premium add-ons. Each plan lets you stream on multiple devices at once, though the number of simultaneous streams varies by tier.
Fubo's pricing is not fixed across all regions. Some areas see different base prices or promotional rates depending on local market conditions and competition. Before committing, check the Fubo website directly to see the exact price offered in your zip code, since what you see here may differ from what you are quoted.

How promotional pricing works and when it ends
Fubo regularly offers discounted rates for the first few months to new subscribers. A common promotion might reduce the base plan by 50 percent for the first month or two, then jump to the full price. Some promotions run for three months at a reduced rate. The key detail is that the discount is temporary — you need to know what the regular price will be when the promotion ends so you are not surprised by a bill increase.
The promotional period is usually stated clearly on the sign-up page, but read it carefully. If it says "50% off for one month," that discount applies only to month one. Month two reverts to the regular price unless a second promotion is stacked on top. Fubo sometimes offers extended promotions during major sporting events or holidays, so the deal available today may not be the same one available next week.
If you cancel during the promotional period, you will not be charged the regular price. However, if you let the subscription continue past the promotion end date without canceling, your payment method will be charged the full monthly rate automatically. Set a calendar reminder for the day before your promotion ends if you want to cancel or downgrade to a cheaper plan.
Add-on channels and premium packages
Beyond the base subscription, Fubo offers optional add-ons that cost extra each month. These typically include premium movie channels like Showtime or Starz, sports-focused packages, or international channel bundles. Each add-on has its own monthly fee, and you can mix and match them based on what you want to watch.
For example, if you want to watch a specific sports league that is not included in your base plan, Fubo may offer a sports add-on package that bundles those channels together. The cost of add-ons varies — some are a few dollars per month, while others may cost more. You can turn add-ons on and off month to month, so you are not locked into paying for them long-term.
Check your account settings to see which add-ons are currently available in your region. Fubo rotates which add-ons it offers and sometimes discontinues packages, so what is available today may change. If you are interested in a specific channel or sports package, confirm it is offered before you sign up.
How many devices you can use at once
The number of people who can watch Fubo simultaneously depends on which plan you choose. The base plan typically allows two or three streams at the same time, while higher tiers may allow more. This means if you have the base plan, two household members can watch different channels at the same time, but a third person would have to wait or use a different service.
Simultaneous streams are tied to your account, not to specific devices. If you are logged into Fubo on your phone, tablet, and TV, but only two streams are allowed, only two of those devices can play video at the same time. The third device will show an error saying the stream limit has been reached. Logging out of one device frees up a stream for another.
Fubo does not restrict where you watch from geographically the way some services do, but your account is meant for household use. Sharing your login with people outside your home may violate Fubo's terms of service, and the company reserves the right to restrict access if it detects unusual activity.
Cloud DVR storage and how it works
All Fubo plans include cloud DVR, which lets you record live TV and watch it later. The amount of storage varies by plan — the base plan may include 250 hours of storage, while higher tiers offer more. This means you can record dozens of shows and keep them for months without running out of space on most plans.
Recordings are stored in the cloud, not on your device, so they take up no space on your phone, tablet, or TV box. You can access your recordings from any device where you are logged into your Fubo account. If you record a show and then delete it, that storage space becomes available for new recordings.
There is no limit to how long you can keep a recording, though Fubo reserves the right to remove content if it detects a licensing issue. In practice, most people's recordings stay available for as long as they remain subscribers. If you cancel your subscription, your recordings are deleted.
Comparing Fubo to other live TV streaming services
Fubo is one of several live TV streaming options, and the price comparison depends on which channels matter to you. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV all offer live TV at different price points with different channel lineups. Fubo tends to emphasize sports channels, so if sports are your priority, it may offer better value than a service with fewer sports options.
The cheapest live TV option is usually Sling TV, which offers a base plan at a lower price than Fubo but with fewer channels. YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV cost more than Fubo's base plan but include more channels overall. The right choice depends on which specific channels you watch most often — comparing the channel list for each service against your viewing habits is more useful than comparing price alone.
Many people subscribe to multiple services rather than choosing just one. For example, you might use Fubo for sports and news, then add a separate service for movies or specific shows. Calculate what you would spend on all the services you want before deciding whether the total fits your budget.
How to check your current bill and manage your subscription
Your Fubo account page shows your current plan, the price you are paying, and when your next billing date is. Log into your account on the Fubo website or app, then look for Account Settings or Billing. This page also shows any active promotions and when they end, so you know exactly when your price will change.
From the same page, you can upgrade to a higher plan, downgrade to a cheaper one, or add premium channels. Changes usually take effect when ready, and your next bill will reflect the new price. If you downgrade mid-month, Fubo typically credits the difference to your account rather than charging you extra.
If you see a charge you do not recognize or your bill is higher than expected, check whether a promotion ended or an add-on was activated. Contact Fubo's customer service through the app or website to dispute a charge or ask for clarification. Keep records of any promotional offers you signed up for in case you need to reference them later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause my Fubo subscription instead of canceling?
Fubo does not offer a formal pause feature, but you can cancel and resubscribe later. If you cancel, your account information is usually saved for a period of time, so restarting is faster than signing up from scratch. Some promotions may not be available when you return, so check what offers are current before you resubscribe.
Do I have to pay for Fubo yearly, or can I pay month to month?
Fubo bills month to month by default. You are charged once per month on your billing date, and you can cancel anytime without penalty. Some services offer annual plans at a discount, but Fubo's standard option is monthly billing.
What happens to my recordings if I cancel?
Your cloud DVR recordings are deleted when you cancel your subscription. If you have shows you want to keep, you would need to read or screen-record them before your account closes, though this may not be possible depending on licensing restrictions.
Are there any hidden fees I should know about?
Fubo's pricing is straightforward — you pay the plan price plus any add-ons you choose. There are no hidden setup fees or equipment rental charges. The only surprise charges usually come from promotions ending or add-ons being activated by mistake, so review your account settings regularly.
Can I change my plan mid-month?
Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade anytime. If you upgrade, you pay the difference for the remainder of the month, then the new price applies to your next full billing cycle. If you downgrade, Fubo credits the difference to your account.
