Fubo has confirmed its Fubo Sports network will now be distributed as over-the-air (OTA) stations in more than 100 markets, including major markets like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
The expansion of availability doesn’t affect the existing options for streaming the channel, including as a FAST channel through Fubo and other free ad-supported streaming platforms.
According to Fubo, the expansion means Fubo Sports is now available to more than 12 million traditional TV households as OTA diginets.
“While cord-cutting is continuing to accelerate, there are still millions of American households who rely on OTA for sports, news and entertainment. Expanding distribution of our owned & operated linear Fubo Sports network to OTA stations maximizes accessibility for consumers while also creating a new revenue stream for Fubo,” said Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Studios, Fubo.
Launched in 2019, Fubo Sports streams over 600 live sporting events each year. OTA viewers with access to the network can now expect access to a variety of sports programming, including Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), ProBox TV, The Professional Fighters League (PFL) and World Poker Tour, among others.
As part of its sports coverage, Fubo Sports viewers also get access to a variety of topical shows and documentaries as well.
