fuboTV Review

fuboTV gives you each channel for about 46 cents on average! That's more bang for your buck than any live TV streaming service on the market. 

With YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV, you’re paying about 75 cents to $1 per channel, and they're only in the 85–100-channel range.

fuboTV is up there in our book because no other streaming service in the industry gives you more than 190 channels for $80, over 300 channels for $100, or more than 310 channels for $110. Not to mention that fuboTV's Elite and Deluxe plans include fubo's Sports Plus package and NFL RedZone.

But before you make the leap with fuboTV, jump down below to the channels section or take a look at the full channel lineup as fuboTV does have some fluff channels.

If your Abuelo only speaks Spanish, you can get 62 Spanish-language channels for $33 per month. This package includes Zona Fútbol, FOX Deportes, Univision, and beIN Sports en Español.

fuboTV charges a $14 regional sports fee! No other live TV streaming service has a regional sports fee (and we hope this isn't the beginning). 

The Pro package has over 190 channels, including 20 sports channels (plus 20 BeIN SPORTS and TUDN channels), and popular channels like Disney Channel, HGTV, and MSNBC. 

When you upgrade to the Elite package, you'll get 100 more channels (293), which include more news, lifestyle, and sports channels, such as CNBC World and NBA TV. This package also includes fubo's Sports Plus add-on with NFL RedZone. Plus, you get niche news channels (like Bloomberg TV+) and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® channels.

fuboTV's top-tier Deluxe package nets you the most channels (307), and includes the most add-ons and premium channels than the other packages. With fuboTV's Deluxe TV package, you get Sports Plus with NFL RedZone, MGM+, and International Sports Plus.

fuboTV's Pro package includes the following channels:

fuboTV's Elite package includes the following channels:

fuboTV's Deluxe package includes the channels above plus the following add-ons: 

We delve deeper into which sports channels each package has (because those are arguably the most important), so scroll down just a little.

We’re about to get into fuboTV’s biggest flaw (well, maybe besides the regional sports fee. Sigh.)—fuboTV doesn't have HBO channels or Max.

But we do like the idea of getting Paramount+ with SHOWTIME®, STARZ, and MGM+ for $20 and saving $6 per month. That's $72 per year that can go toward your Christmas shopping.

At least Max has its own app, so you’ll just have to get that streaming service separate from this live TV provider to watch House of the Dragon.

As for the add-ons, fuboTV has quite a bit to choose from.

fuboTV will give you the highest number of sports channels than any other live TV streaming service (or cable TV and satellite provider).

This is where you'll find your national and international sports channels all in one place. You also have the option to add NBA Leauge Pass and MLB.TV to your service. 

With the Pro plan, you’ll get close to 40 sports channels (including Telemundo, beIN and TUDN channels). But we recommend upgrading to the Elite plan to access close to 50! 

Sports channels included in the fuboTV Pro plan are the following:

In the fuboTV Elite plan, you get all of the sports channels above and the following:

And with the fuboTV Deluxe plan, you get the channels above plus the following add-ons and premium sports channels: Sports Plus with NFL RedZone and International Sports Plus.

Seamless streaming takes good internet. If you want to avoid lag while streaming the big game live, take a look at our guide to prepare your internet for streaming live football.

fuboTV has popular TV shows and movies for you and the family to watch whenever you’d like. So you don’t have to wait until it’s on live TV or after recording it.

You might like to watch The Amazing Race, Dancing With the Stars, or Saturday Night Live while the kids watch The Adventures of Paddington or Alice's Wonderful Bakery.

You can watch Family Feud on your smartphone at the airport or on your smart TV with the whole family. You can pretty much stream fuboTV on any updated streaming device (besides Playstation).

With fuboTV, you can have 10 at-home simultaneous streams. That's great news for big families! But, not the "at-home" part.

Let me explain. All 10 family members can stream on their own devices at once while at home. This means if your Dad is streaming at home and you want to stream while at the airport ... no can do.

We should also mention that fuboTV suggests you have at least a 20 Mbps internet connection for a clear and consistent stream. (Not sure what internet speed you have? Test it out with our tool.)

All plans include Unlimited Cloud DVR storage, and your recordings will expire after nine months.

fuboTV used to offer up to 1,000 hours of recordings, but now it's keeping up with YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV in the DVR game. 

It might seem like unlimited DVR is better than limited; however, some fuboTV users think that fuboTV's previous 1,000-hour cap was plenty, complaining that they'd rather be able to save recordings forever than have unlimited recordings that only last nine months.

Other fuboTV subscribers, however, report they still have access to recordings older than nine months, so it'll be interesting to see if fuboTV will crack down on DVR storage in the future.

When you first open up fuboTV, your Home tab shows you personal recommendations, such as live TV channels, featured programs, live sporting events, and recommended on-demand content.

This is similar to other live TV streaming services in the industry.

We like how fuboTV gives you multiple tabs at the top to help you find exactly what you want. This is similar to Hulu + Live TV, but YouTube TV only has three tabs: Library, Home, and Live.

The Sports tab first recommends featured sports shows and events. When you scroll down, you'll find a mini guide with only sports channels.

What we really like is the fact that you can either use the drop-down menu to find a specific sport, or you have those handy subtabs at the top to take you to content for soccer, football, golf, racing, and other sports.

Next to the Sports tab, you'll find your on-demand content organized by Shows and Movies.

fuboTV’s Guide is the best in the industry, and we'll highlight why:

• There is a convenient drop-down menu on the left to change the date.
• Below that, fuboTV has a menu to choose a genre of channels to easily get to a channel you're in the mood for.
• If you're looking for a specific channel, fuboTV has a channel search bar at the top to get to your favorite channel within a few seconds.
• And last but not least, when you hover over the programming, a Record button conveniently pops up.

All of this makes for an intuitive streaming experience!

And when you go to your recordings, they’re organized from newest to oldest. And you get a search bar to find your show or movie easily!

YouTube TV and Hulu Live both don't have a search bar in its Library. Hulu Live organizes its recordings by TV Shows, Movies, Sports, etc. and YouTube TV doesn't lay out all of your recordings on one screen. Instead, you have to scroll to the right as if you were browsing "Recommended TV Shows".

Do you want to watch live sports? Do you also want lifestyle, entertainment, kids, and news channels? Would you like more than 300 channels? Like the idea of watching on-demand content anytime you want?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, fuboTV is worth it for you.

These are the reasons why we recommend each of the three fuboTV plans:

• Pro: This plan is perfect for most families with over 190 channels for kids, news, sports, and lifestyle. You'll get unlimited DVR storage hours, ten at-home simultaneous streams, and lots of on-demand content for $80 per month. The only reason we wouldn't recommend this plan is if you'd like more sports, news, and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® channels.
• Elite with Sports Plus: For $20 more, this plan is for the fans who can’t miss an NBA game on NBA TV. It's for those who want to watch the Astros fight for another World Series on MLB Network. It’s for the fans who want to watch all of their Boston Bruins games on NHL Network. And it’s for the lifestyle and entertainment fans who need the Cooking Channel, Game Show Network, and People TV. With over 290 channels and access to Sports Plus with NFL RedZone, this one’s for you.
• Deluxe: At $110 per month, fuboTV's Deluxe plan delivers all the best entertainment, news, and sports channels from Elite, plus Sports Plus with NFL RedZone, MGM+, and International Sports.

If you’re still unsure if this is the live TV streaming service for you, we recommend checking out YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, or Sling TV. Our reviews cover everything you need to know, like channel lineups, DVRs, and pricing.

Why should you trust us, and by extension, our opinion of FuboTV? We have experience in testing and comparing all the best streaming services (and some of the definitely-not-best). Seriously, we spend hours streaming every week—for research, of course. So we really know our streaming services, and we’d never recommend services that we don’t like using ourselves.
