Plans and Pricing

fuboTV doesn’t have multiple packages to choose from but does have a standard plan with a lengthy list of add-ons to customize your viewing experience. A fuboTV subscription costs $54.99/month.

When subscribing to Sling TV, you can choose between Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Both have a regular price of $25 per month. Recently, Sling introduced the Total TV Deal. That deal offers seven of Sling’s add-on channels, along with 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage for an extra $20/month. That brings the total of Sling Orange and the Total TV Deal to $45/month.

With fuboTV, you’ll get 93 channels for $54.99/month, making the cost 59 cents per channel.

For Sling Orange with the Total TV Deal, you’ll pay $45/month for 102 channels, or 44 cents per channel.
