FuboTV & NBCU Strike Deal, World Cup Streams Restored

FuboTV announced on June 10 that it has secured a new distribution agreement with NBCUniversal, bringing back a comprehensive collection of networks. Spanish-language channels Telemundo and Universo were made available immediately to Fubo subscribers. English-language channels, including NBC, NBC Sports Network, and regional sports networks, are slated to be added in the upcoming weeks.

The agreement comes after a seven-month period without one, ending just prior to the commencement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This timing ensures that FuboTV subscribers will have access to Spanish-language broadcasts of all 104 World Cup matches, which will air on FOX, FS1, and Telemundo.

NBCUniversal's programming will be integrated across various Fubo subscription tiers. The base English package will feature NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, and NBCSN, alongside regional sports networks for markets such as the Bay Area and Philadelphia. Latino Plan subscribers will gain access to Telemundo and Universo, with Universo also available through add-on packages. Fubo's executive vice president of content strategy and acquisition, Todd Mathers, expressed enthusiasm about the return of NBCUniversal's networks, highlighting their top-tier sports and entertainment offerings.
