FuboTV Secures Exclusive US Broadcasting Rights to Select UEFA Soccer Matches

FuboTV nabbed some more live soccer rights — this time in the US.

According to a news release put out by the company, fuboTV reached a deal with FOX Sports to stream select UEFA soccer matches through its online platform. The deal is a six-year sublicense that will allow the company to stream select matches featuring the top European national teams, including Italy, France, England, Germany, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. While they won’t be able to air UEFA Champions League matches, they can air matches from the Nations League, qualifying and tournament matches for both Euro 2024 and 2028, as well as friendlies played between European nations that are part of UEFA.

“Soccer has always been integral to fuboTV’s DNA,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, fuboTV. “Today’s announcement of our deal with FOX Sports to distribute UEFA National Team Football marks an important milestone for the company as we work to differentiate our sports-first content portfolio and reinvent interactive sports and entertainment television. We are excited to partner with FOX Sports to bring some of the world’s most important and thrilling soccer events to consumers over the years to come.”

FuboTV markets itself as the destination for sports fans and looks to be taking a two-pronged approach to capture their hearts and screens. While the company is still focused on its live sports betting features, it has also been slowly but surely grabbing up broadcasting rights for its Fubo Sports Network across all regions. In Canada, fuboTV now owns the broadcast rights to the English Premier League, as well as Serie A and Coppa Italia. Now, we can add UEFA matches to the list.

“We’re excited to partner with fuboTV on UEFA’s most-coveted events,” said FOX Sports CEO and Executive Producer, Eric Shanks. “fuboTV and FOX Sports both share a strong passion for soccer, and what better way to celebrate this beautiful game than with some of the world’s greatest tournaments.”

Fubo

Fubo is a live TV streaming service with about 90 top channels that start at $79.99 per month. This plan includes local channels, 25 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). In total, you should expect to pay about $91.99 per month, after adding in their RSN Fee. Fubo was previously known as “fuboTV.”

The streaming service does not carry channels from WarnerMedia-owned (CNN, TBS, and TNT), A+E (A&E, History Channel, and Lifetime), and AMC Networks (AMC, BBC America, and WE tv). So, in our experience, if you are looking to watch the NBA, which heavily plays on TBS and TNT, you may want to look at another live TV streaming provider.

But for other sports fans, especially those who want to stream local sports, Fubo is a great option in our opinion. They recently announced adding Bally Sports RSNs to their channel lineup and it is the least expensive option to get RSNs in many markets like Altitude, AT&T Sports, Fox Sports, Marquee, MSG, NBC Sports, and NESN. (Take a look at the full list of Fubo’s sports channels.)

Fubo also includes MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NFL RedZone , NHL Network, and beIN Sports (which is not available on most services). You can add Fox Soccer Plus as part of the International Sports Plus add-on for $6/month.

You can add the fubo Extra ($8) to add ~43 channels including Cooking Channel and GSN.
