Fubo, the sports-first live TV streaming platform, has permanently lowered the monthly subscription prices for its two primary tiers in direct response to NBCUniversal’s decision to pull its portfolio of networks from the service. Effective immediately for new customers, Fubo’s Pro plan now costs $73.99 per month and the Elite plan is priced at $83.99 per month, representing reductions of approximately 7% and 15% respectively from previous levels. This also comes after years of not having Warner Bros. Discovery Networks.
To ease the transition for prospective subscribers, Fubo is also extending a first-month discount: new Pro customers will receive $25 off their initial bill, while new Elite customers will save $30 on their first month. These promotional offers can be combined with a standard seven-day free trial, allowing newcomers to test the service at a significantly reduced cost.
Existing subscribers on the Pro and Elite plans will see immediate relief through a previously announced $15 account credit that will appear on December billing statements. Beginning with the January 2026 billing cycle, those same customers will automatically transition to the new lower recurring rates of $73.99 for Pro and $83.99 for Elite, ensuring no current user pays the former higher prices going forward.
The pricing restructuring comes less than two months after NBCUniversal removed more than a dozen linear channels from Fubo, including USA Network, MSNBC, CNBC, Golf Channel, E!, Oxygen, SYFY, E!, and the full suite of NBC-owned regional sports networks. The carriage dispute centered on renewal terms that Fubo described as involving substantial rate increases and restrictions that would have limited the company’s ability to offer flexible, customer-friendly packaging options.
By lowering base prices instead of passing along the demanded increases, Fubo is positioning the adjustments as a deliberate choice to prioritize affordability and viewer control over absorbing higher wholesale costs. The company continues to carry more than 200 channels on its Elite tier, including major sports rights holders such as The Walt Disney Company, Paramount Global, Fox Corporation, AMC Networks, and ESPN, along with extensive regional sports coverage outside the former NBCUniversal portfolio.
Customers seeking detailed background on the carriage disagreement, including documents outlining NBCUniversal’s proposed terms, can visit Fubo’s dedicated information page at fubo.tv/stream/facts. The platform continues to highlight its aggregation of major college and professional sports leagues, positioning the service as a comprehensive cable-alternative for households focused on live events despite the absence of certain general-entertainment and news channels previously supplied by NBCUniversal.
With the new pricing now in effect, Fubo appears intent on converting the disruption caused by the network removal into an opportunity to attract cost-conscious cord-cutters during the final weeks of the 2025 calendar year and heading into the busy winter sports season.
