Fubo Raises Subscription Prices

Cord Cutters News flagged the hike on July 6, 2026. No bundled "new features" announcement, no press release about added value — just a higher line on the monthly bill. That's the same script YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV have been running for two years. Fubo used to sit just below those services as the sports-heavy specialist with a small price advantage. That edge is gone.

What Pro Plan delivers at the new rate

Fubo Pro is the mid-tier bundle in Fubo's US lineup. Around 180+ live channels, heavy on sports: ESPN, FS1, regional sports networks, NFL Network, beIN SPORTS in many regions. Local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC in supported markets. Standard cable filler: FX, AMC, CNBC.

The plan is currently advertised at around the mid-$70 range monthly, before taxes and regional fees. That includes a cloud DVR marketed at roughly 1,000 hours. Enough room to stockpile entire seasons without touching the storage limit.

The real differentiator is multi-view on supported devices: split-screen for tracking two, three, or four games at once. In testing on a 4K stick, the guide loaded in about two seconds, channel switching was snappy, audio held up during rapid flips. The app runs on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, most smart TVs, iOS, and Android. Device support is broad. UI lag is minimal on current hardware.

• Pros: sports channel density, multi-view, large DVR, wide device support
• Cons: price no longer a differentiator, regional sports coverage still hit-or-miss by market, add-on tiers stack the bill fast

The market reality

YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV both market comparable channel counts and sports coverage at the same price tier. If Fubo lost its "slightly cheaper sports bundle" position, the reason to stay gets narrow: multi-view matters to you, your local regional sports network is in the lineup, or you're locked into a promo that hasn't expired.

The verdict

Don't cancel in panic. Open your current bill and run the math.

• Stay if multi-view is a daily-use feature, your regional sports network is carried, and the DVR capacity actually matters to your household.
• Skip if you mainly watch ESPN plus a couple of national broadcasts. Sling's sports tier or a base YouTube TV plan covers that cheaper.
• Test first if you're new to the service: run a trial weekend with two devices and four simultaneous streams. If the UI stutters or your local channels drop out, the price hike is your reason to walk.

The live TV bundle market moves as a pack. When one carrier raises, the others typically follow within a quarter. Watch for the follow-on bumps on YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV. The "cheaper than cable" pitch stopped being true a while ago — and this hike pushes Fubo firmly into the same bracket as the rest of the field.
