Fubo Launches In‑App Channel Store
Fubo launched a Channel Store, an in-app marketplace that lets users subscribe to and watch third-party streaming services directly inside the Fubo app without needing a base Fubo plan. The store ingests partner content into a unified interface to reduce friction from switching between multiple apps. At launch the offering includes several regional sports networks (RSNs) and services such as DAZN One, Hallmark+, MGM+, and Starz; each standalone plan also bundles Fubo’s tier of nearly 200 ad-supported channels. The model follows a 'store-within-an-app' playbook similar to Amazon Prime Video Channels; Fubo began testing the approach in October 2024. The move comes amid shifting rights (Fubo recently lost NBA League Pass exclusivity to Amazon Prime Video) and follows Fubo’s reported base of over 1.63 million North American subscribers.
FuboTV Adds 20,000 Subscribers in Q3 FY2026
FuboTV reported Q3 fiscal 2026 results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026: $1.482 billion in revenue (North America $1.474 billion), a net loss of $25.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $19.1 million. Total North America paid subscribers were 5.75 million—up 20,000 sequentially and ~2% year‑over‑year—driven by elevated sports viewing, packaging changes, product improvements and early distribution integrations with Disney/ESPN. The company had $236.4 million in cash, raised fiscal 2026 pro forma adjusted EBITDA guidance to $90–100 million, and reaffirmed a fiscal 2028 adjusted EBITDA target of at least $300 million with positive free cash flow expected in 2027–28. Management also cited early ad-monetization gains after migrating inventory to the Disney ad server. Alisa Bowen became CEO in July 2026; the business combination closed Oct 29, 2025.
