FuboTV Inc., the sports-first live TV streaming platform, announced a loss of 110,000 subscribers in the United States during the second quarter of 2025, according to its latest financial results released today. The company ended the quarter with approximately 1.36 million paid subscribers in North America, down from 1.47 million at the end of Q1 2025. This decline follows a broader trend of seasonal fluctuations and competitive pressures in the streaming and pay-TV markets, as outlined in the company’s shareholder letter.
Despite the subscriber drop, Fubo reported a total revenue exceeding $365 million in North America for Q2 2025, surpassing its prior guidance of $345 million. Globally, the company achieved a significant milestone with its first quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, reaching at least $20 million, and a reduced net loss of approximately $8 million, an improvement of $18 million year-over-year. These financial gains reflect Fubo’s focus on operational efficiency and cost management while navigating a challenging market landscape.
The subscriber decline, which represents a roughly 7.5% drop from the previous quarter, comes amid intensified competition from platforms like DirecTV’s MySports and the anticipated launch ESPN Unlimited, a joint venture by Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery. Fubo attributes the loss to seasonal churn, particularly following the conclusion of major sports seasons like the NFL, which typically drive subscriber growth. The company also highlighted ongoing negotiations with content providers, such as Warner Bros. Discovery, which have limited access to certain sports programming like NBA and NHL games, potentially impacting subscriber retention.
To address competitive pressures, Fubo is preparing to launch a new “Sports & Broadcasting” package, expected to debut by the fall sports season, offering premium sports networks at a lower cost. The company also continues to innovate with features like user-configurable Multiview and new content partnerships, including a multi-year agreement with Weigel Broadcasting Co. for networks like MeTV and WCIU.
While Fubo has paused providing future guidance due to the pending Hulu merger, the company emphasized its commitment to long-term value creation. With $285 million in cash reserves and improved profitability metrics, Fubo is positioning itself to weather market challenges and capitalize on strategic opportunities in the evolving streaming landscape.
