Fubo has finally added NBCSN to live TV packages that are eligible to receive the channel. This follows the confirmation earlier this year of a new carriage agreement between Fubo and NBCUniversal.
What You Need to Know
- NBCSN is now available on Fubo following the June agreement between Fubo and NBCUniversal.
- The relaunched sports network is available to base English-language and Fubo Sports subscribers.
- NBC locals are still in the process of rolling out so some subscribers may have access while others are still waiting.
Back in June, Fubo confirmed it had struck a new deal with NBCUniversal that would result in many lost channels returning to its live TV packages.
As Fubo now offers more plan options than before, the NBCU channels a subscriber now gets depends on their specific package.
Those signed up to either a base English-language or Fubo Sports package are now in the process of receiving NBCSN. With the channel now officially live, Fubo subscribers signed up to an eligible package can now find NBCSN in the Guide section of the app and website.
As this channel is package-specific, those signed up to any other Fubo package should not expect to receive access to the relaunched sports network.
The Slow Return of NBCUniversal Networks
In spite of being announced on June 10, it has taken more than two months for NBCSN to make its way to Fubo subscribers.
Here’s a list of the channels that have so far returned to Fubo as part of the new agreement:
- Cozi
- NBC News NOW
- Telemundo
- Universo
- True CRMZ
- NBC Sports Bay Area (respective market)
- NBC Sports California (respective market)
- NBC Sports Philadelphia (respective market)
- NBCSN
Again, whether an individual subscriber has access to any of the channels listed above depends on their package.
Technically, NBC local affiliates have also returned to Fubo, albeit not in all areas.
Fubo appears to be taking a slow rollout approach to NBC locals so many subscribers to an eligible plan may find they still don’t have access to their local NBC channel.
As a reminder, Fubo increased the price of its live TV packages following the new agreement with NBCUniversal. Depending on the package, subscribers now pay a minimum of $9 more each month for their live TV plan.
