FuboTV Inc. announced the outcomes of its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on July 28, 2026, alongside corporate governance and board updates. Stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, expanding the Class A Common Stock pool by 7,000,000 shares, setting a cap of 14,593,054 shares for incentive stock options (ISOs), and eliminating the fixed term of the plan. Additionally, stockholders approved a Certificate of Amendment removing special voting requirements for the removal of directors designated by Hulu, LLC.

The expansion of the equity pool provides necessary runway for executive and talent compensation but increases dilution risk, while removing Hulu-specific director voting restrictions simplifies governance structures.

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.
Disney President Alisa Bowen Named CEO of Fubo
Alisa Bowen, president of Disney+'s streaming business, has left Disney to become chief executive officer of Fubo effective July 10, 2026. The leadership change follows Disney’s acquisition of a 70% stake in Fubo and the integration of Fubo with Hulu + Live TV. Bowen, a founding member of Disney’s streaming leadership with more than a decade at the company, is expected to focus on accelerating growth, improving profitability and reversing recent subscriber losses at Fubo. Co-founder and longtime CEO David Gandler has departed as the company enters this new phase. Observers say a Disney insider leading Fubo could speed operational and content synergies across Disney’s streaming portfolio, while the broader streaming market continues to face pressures from content costs, competition, and the need for sustainable monetization.
Disney Owns Fubo and Hulu + Live TV
Disney completed a business combination that folded Hulu + Live TV into Fubo, finalized in late October 2025, leaving Disney with roughly 70% ownership and existing Fubo shareholders with about 30%. The combined company trades under the Fubo name and serves nearly six million North American subscribers. The deal resolved an antitrust lawsuit over a proposed Venu Sports joint venture and included Disney financial support and a shift of advertising sales into Disney’s broader sales organization. Both services continue to operate as distinct consumer products, while ad inventory has migrated to Disney’s centralized ad server and plans call for deeper Hulu + Live TV integration into the Disney+ app by the end of 2026. Leadership changes and cross-promotion aim to capture sports-driven subscriber growth and improve advertising yield across the combined scale.
