FuboTV, the sports-first live TV streaming platform, has announced the launch of standalone premium subscription services, enabling consumers to subscribe to select live and on demand content without a base Fubo channel plan.

FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports Network; currently live on Fubo in select markets with more to follow), NBA League Pass and Paramount+ With Showtime are the first networks offered to customers as standalone subscriptions. These networks continue to be available in Fubo’s Pro base plan (FanDuel Sports Network) or as add-on channel packages (NBA League Pass, Paramount+ With Showtime). Subscribers to these standalone packages will also receive Fubo Free, a collection of nearly 200 free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels.

Fubo will now offer three different channel plan tiers:

1. Fubo Free: A foundational free tier of FAST channels available to former Fubo paid and free trial subscribers as well as to subscribers of premium subscription services.

2. Premium Subscription Services: These services, which include both live linear and SVOD, can be purchased as standalones and do not require the purchase of the main Fubo product. Fubo is also exploring the launch of other content offerings such as PPV, TVoD and skinny bundles.

3. Virtual MVPD: Fubo continues to offer its signature vMVPD channel plans that aggregate live sports, news and entertainment alongside a VoD offering.

Fubo customers who subscribe to live linear subscription services will also receive Unlimited Cloud DVR and the ability to stream from multiple screens simultaneously.

“Consumers want flexible streaming options that lets them subscribe to only the content they want to watch,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, Fubo. “Our vision to be a Super Aggregator aims to give consumers a seamless way to access all of the content they love within the Fubo ecosystem and at appropriate price points. With the addition of standalone live and SVoD premium subscriptions, we believe offering multiple bundles, from skinny to fat, will put choice in the hands of our customers. This is what streaming should be.”
