Published 10/02/2025, 15:06

NEW YORK - FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: NYSE:FUBO), a prominent sports-focused live TV streaming service with a market capitalization of $1.34 billion, has broadened its distribution by launching its Fubo Sports network on over-the-air (OTA) stations across more than 100 markets in the United States, including major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. InvestingPro data shows the company has achieved impressive revenue growth of 24.45% over the last twelve months, though it operates with relatively thin gross profit margins of 10.75%. This expansion makes the network accessible to over 12 million traditional TV households, in addition to its availability on Fubo and most free ad-supported streaming platforms.

The Fubo Sports network, known for its extensive sports programming, showcases a variety of sports content and live events, including leagues like Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, ProBox TV, The Professional Fighters League, and World Poker Tour. The network has established itself as a key destination for combat sports fans, offering select live boxing and MMA events.

According to Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Studios, the expansion into OTA stations is a strategic move to increase consumer accessibility and create a new revenue stream for the company. She highlighted the importance of reaching audiences through both streaming and traditional platforms, acknowledging the substantial number of American households that still utilize OTA for sports, news, and entertainment. This expansion comes as the company’s stock has shown remarkable momentum, with InvestingPro reporting a substantial 213.49% price return over the past six months.

It’s part of FuboTV Inc.’s broader mission to aggregate top-tier TV content, including premium sports, news, and entertainment, into a single app. The company operates Fubo in the U.S., Canada, and Spain, and also runs Molotov in France.

In the U.S., Fubo is known for aggregating more than 400 live sports, news, and entertainment networks, and it claims the distinction of being the only live TV streaming platform to offer every English-language Nielsen-rated sports channel, based on Nielsen Total (EPA:TTEF) Viewers for 2024. FuboTV Inc. has also been recognized for its technological innovations in the streaming space, being the first virtual MVPD to introduce features like 4K streaming, MultiView, and Instant Headlines, an AI-generated news feature.
