CTV Market: 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.
Quarterly earnings showing subscriber stabilization, raised EBITDA guidance, and deeper ad monetization integration with Disney are relevant for CTV/streaming and ad monetization stakeholders.
