Fubo raises prices past pre-NBC blackout levels
In late 2025, a carriage dispute knocked NBC and Bravo off Fubo airwaves. It lasted all the way through June, and some Fubo customers are just now getting NBC back. But, starting with their next billing cycle, they may get another nasty surprise: a bigger bill. Fubo cut subscription prices for several of its plans to compensate customers for the absence of NBC channels, but that lenience has passed.
In fact, Fubo’s prices have quietly been raised past the price they cost before the NBC blackout began. The Pro plan, previously $85 per month, now costs $89 per month, not including promotions. Fubo’s Elite plan is increasing from $95 to $99 per month. New customers will see the prices go into effect immediately after using up any current promotional offers from Fubo, and existing subscribers will see the shift go into effect during their next billing cycle, if they have not already. Customers were informed of the increase by Fubo ahead of the rate hike, the company has confirmed to The Streamable.
