Does Fubo offer any kind of parental controls?

Does Fubo offer any kind of parental controls?

What, if any, guardrails does Fubo put in place to keep kids away from mature content?

Known for breaking major streaming stories, he’s covered everything from Netflix policy shifts to Peacock’s ad-tier changes. A sci-fi fan and Toshiba Fire TV user, he brings sharp analysis and a love for the genre to his reporting.

Having parental controls is especially necessary for subscribers of live TV streaming services. These services typically have a wide range of cable channels, and unlike broadcast TV, cable networks can have pretty adult violence, language, and sexual situations, but they also typically include channels that are specifically for kids.

Fubo’s package is mostly geared toward live sports, but the streamer does have a lot of other content available as well, including kids shows and movies. Does it have parental controls to let you keep a watch over what kids are seeing on Fubo, or will you have to be watching Fubo with the kids at all times?

What you need to know about parental controls on Fubo

Does Fubo have parental controls?

Fubo does not, unfortunately, have any parental controls available to allow kids to watch safely when unsupervised. Many on-demand streamers let you create restrictions on content by age in profiles or in their account settings. However, a Fubo spokesperson confirmed to The Streamable that the service does not have any parental controls at this time, and thus parents will want to make sure they are watching it with the kids at all times.

Will Fubo add parental controls in the future?

It’s certainly possible. Fubo is set to merge with Hulu + Live TV in the coming months, and when that happens, it will come under the control of Disney. All Disney streaming services — including Hulu + Live TV — have parental controls available, and I do not imagine Disney will waste much time before putting parental controls on Fubo.

There’s a lot up in the air with Fubo and Hulu + Live TV’s merger, however. Not only does it need the approval of regulators, but there are questions about the future of the Hulu app, and the specifics of how everything will land in the deal are far from settled. However, I still think Fubo will end up with parental controls if it continues in the long run.

For many other sports enthusiasts, particularly those who prioritize access to local sports broadcasts, Fubo is a compelling choice in our view. Featuring FanDuel Sports RSNs in its channel lineup, Fubo stands out as the most budget-friendly option for RSN access across numerous markets, including Altitude, AT&T Sports, Fox Sports, Marquee, MSG, NBC Sports, and NESN.
