Fubo to Stream European Football Alliance in North America
Fubo Sports Network has signed a deal to stream the inaugural season of the European Football Alliance (EFA) in the U.S. and Canada. The first season comprises 18 games across six teams — Frankfurt Galaxy, Munich Ravens, Paris Musketeers, Prague Lions, Raiders Tirol, and Nordic Storm — with plans to expand next season. Fubo will carry all 18 games on its free streaming channel, plus highlights and on-demand content, and the partnership includes over-the-air coverage in 100 U.S. markets. Fubo Sports Network is available across numerous FAST and streaming platforms (including Amazon Prime Video, The Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, Tubi and others) and the channel is also included in DAZN and Fubo subscription packages. EFA and Fubo executives framed the agreement as a step to grow EFA’s North American footprint and broaden Fubo’s sports programming slate.
Distribution partnership expands a new sports league’s reach into North America and adds live sports inventory to Fubo’s FAST/CTV channel, relevant to streaming sports distribution but not a market‑shifting technical or policy event.

Fubo Sports Network to Stream BIG3 in 2026
FuboTV Inc. and BIG3 announced a partnership for the BIG3 2026 season (Season 9). Beginning June 20, Fubo Sports Network — Fubo’s free ad-supported sports channel — will stream 16 live BIG3 games and make a library of more than 100 archived telecasts (Seasons 6–8) available. The season opens June 20 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and includes 13 additional games across the U.S.; eight teams are competing this year. Fubo Sports Network is available through Fubo packages and across many FAST/CTV platforms including Amazon Prime Video, Hulu + Live TV, Samsung TV Plus, The Roku Channel, Tubi, Plex, Xumo Play and others, plus OTA in nearly 100 U.S. markets. Executives from Fubo and BIG3 commented that the agreement expands reach and engagement for BIG3 fans.
Fubo Adds ESPN 4K and ESPN2 4K
Fubo has added ESPN 4K and ESPN2 4K to its streaming lineup. The channels are available on Elite and Ultra plans at no additional cost. The 4K HDR feeds bring select live sports programming, including Monday Night Football, NBA, NHL, college football, US Open tennis, and Super Bowl LXI. ESPN initially announced the 4K rollout in September, starting with the ESPN App, then Disney+ for ESPN Unlimited subscribers. Fubo's launch marks another expansion of the 4K coverage, with more platforms expected this fall.
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.
