Fubo started back in 2015 as an all-sports live TV service at the super-low price of $7 a month. A couple of years later, it went more mainstream, added more channels and got a big-boy price to go with it. Even with this price bump, FuboTV is still a great value live-streaming service.
It's got a great lineup of live channels — the basic plan gives you 124 at last count — that stacks up against any other service. And it's also got all the add-on features you'd look for in this sort of thing. But FuboTV also has a pretty big leg up on the competition, if you're a sports lover — it streams sports (not all sports, but some sports) in 4K resolution. In the summer of 2018, it streamed its first sports event in 4K — the final rounds of the FIFA Men's World Cup. Since then, it's continuously streamed a smattering of games and events in 4K.
FuboTV plans
FuboTV now has four plans to choose from when you sign up for a subscription. All of these plans also come with a one-week FuboTV free trial, allowing you to try before you buy and there's no contract so you can cancel at any time. All super easy...
- FuboTV Pro plan (opens in new tab): $69.99 a month for 124 channels, 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR and up to 3 screens at once (on the go), 10 screens at once (at home).
- FuboTV Elite plan (opens in new tab): $79.99 a month for 177 channels, Fubo Extra channels, News Plus channels, 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR and up to 3 screens at once (on the go), 10 screens at once (at home).
- FuboTV Ultimate plan: (opens in new tab) $99.99 a month for 212 channels, Fubo Extra channels, News Plus channels, SHOWTIME, Sports Plus with NFL Redzone, 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR and up to 3 screens at once (on the go), 10 screens at once (at home).

FuboTV Pro plan
The pro plan ($69.99 a month) is FuboTV's entry package giving you all the channels you'd expect — like ABC, Paramount Network, the Disney Channel and Bravo — as well as access to over 100 sporting events. As with all FuboTV plans you get a Cloud DVR, perfect for recording shows and events when you can't be home to watch and you get to use up to three screens on the go.
FuboTV Elite plan
With the Elite plan, as you'd expect, the content offering goes up a notch. You get more channels (177) in the main Fubo service and access to more sporting events (130 instead of 100). In addition, you get Fubo Extra which gives you another 41 channels — including Nat Geo Wild (perfect for watching Sharkfest) and the sports-specific NBA TV, MLB TV and NHL TV. News Plus is perfect for news junkies with another 12 channels including BBC World News and Africa News.
FuboTV Ultimate plan
Unsurprisingly the FuboTV Ultimate plan is the big beast in the Fubo stable. You jump from 177 channels to 212. More excitingly you get live and on-demand access to the ever-popular SHOWTIME with its vast library of movies, premium shows and sports content (MMA and boxing bouts) and to Sports Plus with NFL Redzone — watch every touchdown from every game, every Sunday afternoon.
FuboTV Latino plan
With the FuboTV Latino plan ($33) you get 43 Spanish-language channels, including a mix of sports, factual programming and movie channels. You only get 250 hours of cloud DVR and up to two screens at once, with this plan but if these features are important to you, you can always upgrade and boost your Cloud DVR to 1000 hours or sign up for unlimited screens.
FuboTV channels
Fubo basic channels
The three English-language FuboTV plans carry most of the major channels that you'd be looking for — the exception being the Turner/WarnerMedia channels like TCM and HBO Max.

Does FuboTV stream in 4K?
Yes, sometimes... And not just sports. FuboTV is one of the few ways you can watch live sports in 4K resolution in the United States. We're not going to nitpick too much about the fact that you're almost certainly watching an upscaled feed (they're at the mercy of the content provider). The simple fact is that a 4K stream looks better than a stream that is not 4K and basically, it's going to ruin you for anything else.
The bad news is that you're only looking at a handful of games that stream in 4K. FuboTV also has some premium movie programming available in 4K resolution if you have the EPIX add-on.
