Fubo to begin sending team-specific game alerts to subscribers
The alerts will let viewers know when a specific team has entered a critical phase in their live game.
Fubo is rolling out a new feature just in time for the 2025 NBA playoffs. As first exclusively reported by Awful Announcing, Fubo is unveiling new, live game alerts for customers who want to keep track of a specific team. These will help viewers know exactly what’s going on with their favorite team in a live game scenario, and will be a great addition for Fubo customers as the playoffs get rolling.
Key Details:
- Red alert!: Fubo’s new game alerts will let viewers know when a key moment in the action is occurring live.
- Optional: Customers will only receive these alerts if they opt in.
- Team first: Fubo has offered an alerts feature before, but this team-specific option could be a game changer.
Fubo’s new game alerts feature will send a notification to the user’s phone when a key moment is happening in a particular game. Viewers will be notified if their team is about to win a key matchup, if a player is about to hit a specific milestone, or another important scenario is taking place.

Viewers will be able to click on these game alerts to be taken directly to the game in question. The alerts will start with NBA games only, but other leagues will see the new feature rolled out in the coming weeks.
Viewers can opt into the game alerts if they want to, but they can also opt out if they don’t want to have games spoiled for them. These alerts will be personalized based on not just location, but past viewership, ensuring audiences see only alerts for the most relevant teams to them.
Outlets like Fubo and others have had game alert notifications before, but they have been more focused on action in a given league as opposed to specific teams. This kind of personalization could help Fubo stand out as a sports streamer, particularly as ESPN is gearing up to launch its new streaming service Flagship, which will also reportedly offer high levels of personalized features.
If you’re a Fubo customer and an NBA fan, keep an eye out for the option to sign up for these new notifications. You’ll be able to use them to keep track of your favorite team’s biggest moments, which will be crucial as the playoffs begin.
