Just a few years ago, sports fans had a better shot at making it as a pro than finding a reliable streaming service that could compete with a traditional cable provider. Luckily, that’s not the case now. When it comes to watching live sports on ESPN or local channels, it’s never been easier to catch your favorite teams each week thanks to a huge lineup of live TV streaming services, including fuboTV.

Want to watch the Chiefs play the Ravens this week for the start of NFL season? An upcoming college football matchup? Just here to find out how to livestream the upcoming The Golden Bachelorette premiere for free? Here’s what to know about the service (plus how to get a free trial).
Does fuboTV Have a Free Trial?
Good news: Unlike other streaming services that offer TV livestreams, fuboTV currently offers a one-week free trial on all of its plans. The company is one of the few streaming services that offers a test-run on its variety of subscription packages, giving viewers a chance to try it out before committing to a specific plan. The bottom line: It’s still one of the only free trial promos in the streaming game. The standard subscription cost starts up once your seven days are over.
How Much Does fuboTV Cost?
If you’re thinking about snagging a fuboTV subscription, you have a few options. You can choose among a variety of different plans, starting with the fuboTV Pro package, which comes with 200 channels starting at $79.99 a month.
Next up is the fuboTV Elite with Sports Plus plan at $99.99/month. This tier gets you access to stream up to 299 channels. The fuboTV Deluxe Premier subscription, meantime, gets you 319 channels for $109.99/month. Each of these plans includes up to an unlimited amount of Cloud DVR storage so you can record games or other TV events when you’re not home.
Current deal: Best of all, you can get all three of the above plans for $30 off right now while the promotion lasts.
The streamer also offers the fuboTV Latino subscription for $32.99/month after your trial. It comes with 62 channels, including ESPN HD Deportes and unlimited Cloud DVR storage. Users can also watch on up to two screens at the same time without interruption. This month, fuboTV offers the plan for as little as $19.99 for your first month of your subscription.
Best fuboTV Deal, Promo
While fuboTV offers a free trial on its plans, the streaming service rarely holds steep discounts on its subscriptions. But now the streamer currently offers $30 off your first month of fuboTV for most of its subscriptions. Right now new subscribers can get a fuboTV Pro package starting at $49.99 a month for your first month, before it kicks back up to the standard $79.99 a month. It’s an excellent deal if you’re looking for a more affordable option for streaming sports this month.
Bonus: fuboTV happens to be a great option for watching Disney-owned channels like ESPN while it’s not currently available to watch on DirecTV following the companies’ licensing dispute.
Which Channels Can You Watch With fuboTV?
Each of fuboTV’s plans include different channels, but overall we think it’s a good choice if you want to watch local stations without cable TV. Most of the plans carry broadcasts from ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, as well as include ESPN and other sports-specific networks. In other words, it’s a must-have for sports fans who don’t want to pay for pricey cable packages.
How Does fuboTV Compare to Other Streaming Services?
First things first: You can watch Fubo on a whopping 10 devices all at once with its Pro, Elite with Sports Plus, and Deluxe plans. That’s a major sell, as other streamers only let you watch on a couple screens at the same time. Netflix, for instance, only lets you watch on up to four with its Premium plan (from $22.99/month).
While it’s a reliable option to catch live sports across the board, fuboTV isn’t the only streaming service that offers live TV access if you’ve cut the cord. Others we have tried and recommend include Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV, but not all of them offer the same thing.
Hulu + Live TV: At $76.99 a month, Hulu + Live TV offers a three-day free trial, and you get access to both Disney+ and ESPN+ with your subscription — an unbeatable deal when it comes to saving cash by bundling all your streaming services together.
Get Hulu + Live TV From $76.99/month
Sling TV: Another great option for watching live sports, Sling TV doesn’t include a free trial, but it’s still one of the more affordable picks. You can get a Sling Blue package starting at $20/month — a $25 discount off your first month of streaming. After that, the price goes back up to the standard starting price of $45/month.
DirecTV Stream: DirecTV Stream offers a five-day free trial and starts at $79.99 per month. It’s the same price as Fubo’s entry-level plan, though this DirecTV Stream tier only includes 75+ channels and a shorter amount of time to try the plan before you have to pay for it. You also cannot currently watch Disney-owned properties on DirecTV.
