We live in an age where it's impossible to keep up with the incredible array of live TV streaming services. While this can be a lot to keep track of, we've decided to focus on one particular service: the humble Fubo. A simple service that started life as a streamer of live sports, Fubo has expanded with multiple channels to become the phenomenon it is today.
Formerly named FuboTV until 2023, this mighty streamer now brushes shoulders with competitors such as DirecTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. With regards to DirecTV, this is in many ways a direct rival with both offering different packages with varying combinations of channels on their streaming platform. Check out more in the full Fubo packages list which allows you to customise in more depth.

Unlike some of the main streamers, Fubo actually offers its members a free trial so you can actually try before you buy which is a huge advantage. Everyone loves a more personalised experience, and Fubo also offers a chance to tailor your streamer to make it more personal such as a Latino package with Spanish language-only channels. Muchas gracias.
Any jocks out there? Fubo has an incredible variety of sports in even more incredible 4K, this quality of resolution beginning from the final rounds of FIFA Men's World Cup 2018. This 4k resolution has been continuously utilised in all streamed games and events including the recent UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.
However, this does not mean it's a perfect platform as there are some cons that come with this streamer. The array of channels does noticeably lack Turner and Warner Bros offerings and - as of recently - also omits Discovery ones like Food Network and HGTV. Worth bearing in mind if considering this streamer.
So, with all this in mind here is what you need to know when considering Fubo as a viable option.
Fubo plans
Fubo has four plans to choose from when you sign up for a subscription. All of these plans also come with a one-week Fubo free trial, allowing you to try before you buy and there's no contract so you can cancel at any time.

Does Fubo stream in 4K?
Yes, sometimes... And not just sports. Fubo is one of the few ways you can watch live sports in 4K resolution in the United States. We're not going to nitpick too much about the fact that you're almost certainly watching an upscaled feed (they're at the mercy of the content provider). The simple fact is that a 4K stream looks better than a stream that is not 4K and basically, it's going to ruin you for anything else.
The bad news is that you're only looking at a handful of games that stream in 4K. Fubo also has some premium movie programming available in 4K resolution if you have the EPIX add-on.
