About FuboTV Inc.

FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO), often branded simply as Fubo, is a U.S.-based live TV streaming company that focuses on delivering premium sports, news, and entertainment content over the internet as an alternative to traditional cable TV. It operates as a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD), offering live channels, on-demand shows, and interactive features to subscribers via smart TVs, mobile devices, and computers.

Founded in 2015 originally as a soccer-centric streaming service, later expanding into broader live TV. FuboTV Inc. offers live sports (a key differentiator), news, entertainment, and original FAST (free ad-supported) channels; technology features include multi-view and 4K streaming. Its business model is subscription fees, advertising revenue, and additional services like sports betting (Fubo Sportsbook in select U.S. states).

FuboTV Inc. is ranked among the fastest-growing companies in the Americas and one of the largest live TV streaming providers in the U.S. In early 2025, Fubo entered a major strategic merger with The Walt Disney Company’s Hulu + Live TV business, with Disney taking a majority stake while Fubo remains a publicly traded entity.

Business Combination with Hulu + Live TV

Fubo completed a transformative business combination with Hulu + Live TV in October 2025, with the Hulu Live business now part of Fubo’s results. This combination boosts scale and revenue reporting, and the pro forma figures reflect how Fubo would have looked if the deal had been in place all year.

Partnership & Strategic Moves

Fubo also announced a planned reseller and marketing agreement with ESPN to expand distribution of Fubo’s services via ESPN’s commerce and digital platforms (subject to definitive agreements).
