Fubo Now Offering Only One English-Language Channel Package
Fubo Now Offering Only One English-Language Channel Package
Is Fubo just checking to make sure people are paying attention? Whatever the reason may be, Fubo loves to consistently play with the configurations of its channel packages, switching things up at the drop of a hat. The live TV streaming service has decided to shake up its offerings once again this week, as on Thursday The Streamable noticed it was down to just two channel packages available for new customers.
Key Details:
- As of Thursday, the only plans Fubo is selling are its Pro package and its Latino option.
- Near the end of August, Fubo began offering the Elite with Sports Plus and Deluxe plans alongside the two current options.
- Other plans are likely to return to Fubo’s offerings in the next few months.
The latest update to Fubo’s channel bundle options has removed the “Elite with Sports Plus” and “Deluxe” packages as choices for new customers. Presumably, viewers who signed up for those plans before they were pulled by Fubo still have access to their subscriptions without any changes.
The only two packages currently being offered by Fubo are its Pro plan and the Latino package. The Pro plan is traditionally Fubo’s least expensive option at $80 per month, not including the regional sports network fee that most subscribers will have to pay when they sign up. The Latino plan offers a focus on Spanish-language channels and costs $33 per month.
The Pro plan includes 150+ channels, including local networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, as well as national networks like ESPN, FS1, NFL Network, and a huge selection of other top sports channels. In the latest series of changes, Fubo has decided to include ACC Network in the Pro plan; previously, this network was only offered in the Elite with Sports Plus and above. Various free streaming channels have also been added to the Pro lineup that had previously lived on the Elite plan.
Fubo still comes with a free trial of varying lengths, depending on what time of month you sign up.
The Elite with Sports Plus and Deluxe packages were first created in August; both plans incorporated the channels from Fubo’s Sports Plus add-on into their base packages. The Sports Plus add-on is still available for $11 per month on top of a base plan. The Deluxe plan also offered the MGM+ channel, but Fubo customers can still add MGM+ to their subscription for $5.99.
Will Fubo Bring Back Elite, Deluxe Plans?
There’s a good bet that Fubo will continue to switch up its package offerings between now and the end of football season. That’s traditionally when it has made changes to the options it provides in the past, and the introduction of the Elite with Sports Plus and Deluxe plans was timed to coincide with the start of football season this year.
It’s not as easy to say which channel plans will be introduced when Fubo makes another change. Previously, the service has offered the Elite plan without the Sports Plus add-on, higher-priced options called the “Premier” and “Ultimate” packages and even more distinct channel bundles on a temporary basis.
It’s hard to know what Fubo will do with its channels next; the only constant is change. More Fubo plans with new channel lineups will be available at some point within the next few months, though what exactly will be in them is anyone’s guess.
