9 Best Fubo Alternatives Right Now

If you’re an avid sports fan, you may have come across FuboTV. It's one of the major live TV streamers dedicated to sports, with a channel lineup that includes ESPN and the NFL Network. This, along with its smooth ease of use, makes it a strong competitor in the streaming wars.

But for all its pros, FuboTV can also drive away potential users with its pricey subscription fee and lack of channel options. It has variety to be sure, with many news, lifestyle, and entertainment channel options, but it notably lacks Turner properties (like Cartoon Network, CNN, and TNT) and regional sports coverage, which removes NBA viewing from the picture. 

If you like what Fubo's all about but are interested in seeing how it stacks up to the competition, you can check out this list we've compiled of the best Fubo alternatives available right now. Some platforms are similarly priced but carry more content options, while others are completely free but offer leaner pickings. Whatever streamer you choose, make sure it aligns with your needs by reading more about it below. 

DirecTV is a Live TV streaming platform with a twist: you can download the app on any of your existing devices, or for a $120, you can get a box with a custom remote control for the service. But without the box, DirecTV functions like a Netflix or Hulu, allowing you to stream Live TV from anywhere by downloading the app. Within your home, you can stream on up to 20 devices (!), and from outside your home you can stream on up to three devices.

Tubi

Dubbed "The Free Netflix," Tubi is one of the best options for streaming quality movies and TV shows online. The completely free, ad-supported service has one of the most extensive title lineups, plus it's compatible with most devices, making it an extremely popular option for cord-cutters. Though it has been noted to have a less-than-stellar resolution, most viewers don't mind due to its easy interface, constantly updated library, and of course free titles. Parents will also be glad to know that the service has parental control features.

Price: free for 78 channels available

Device availability: Airplay, Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Google TV Streamer, iOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Sony, TiVo, Vizio, Xbox One

Pluto TV

Pluto TV is a modern take on traditional cable: it has hundreds of channels streaming live, a huge library of on-demand content, and it’s supported by ads. But the key difference from the competition? It’s totally free.

Price: free for 33 channels available

Device availability: Airplay, Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Google TV Streamer, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Virgin Media, Vizio SmartCast, webOS, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.

Xumo Play

With people overwhelmed by the onslaught of mammoth streaming services, companies like Xumo are having a moment. A free, ad-supported hub for both live and on-demand content, Xumo is gaining ground in the streaming landscape.

Price: free for 13 channels available

Device availability: Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, Google TV Streamer, iOS, Panasonic, Roku, Samsung TV, Visio TV, webOS, Xfinity Flex

ESPN Unlimited

ESPN's new app is referred to by the company as simply "ESPN", which is confusing since that's the same name of the TV channel (it's as if Disney+ was called Disney Channel). More coloquially, it's known as ESPN DTC, or Direct to Consumer. This new ESPN plan called "ESPN Unlimited" absorbed what was before known as ESPN+, and added a live stream to every ESPN live TV channel, for less than the cheapest way to get ESPN before, which was Sling TV. You'll be getting ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPN+, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network, SECN+, ACC Network, and ACCNX for the price of $29.99/month. It also comes included as part of many DIRECTV Stream, Fubo TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Spectrum TV plans.

Price: $29.99/month

Device availability: Android, Chromecast, Fire TV, Google TV Streamer, iOS, Oculus, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Xfinity Flex
