If you pay for Fubo, your bill went up this summer. And if you were counting on Fubo to watch your local NBA or NHL team, there’s a good chance that channel disappeared around the same time.
The giant raised prices across most of its plans in June 2026. Weeks later, it lost the majority of its regional sports networks, or RSNs. This is when the company behind them shut down for good.
Here’s what actually changed, what Fubo still carries for sports fans, and whether the service is still worth the money.
How much does Fubo cost now?
Fubo’s base plan, called Pro in most markets and Essential or Core in others, jumped $15 a month. Here’s where prices landed across the lineup, according to Fubo’s own pricing update:
- Pro, Essential, or Core: $88.99 a month
- Elite or Ultra: $98.99 a month
- Ultimate: $113.99 a month
- Deluxe: $118.99 a month
- Sports + News: $64.99 a month, up $9
The provider says the increase covers the higher cost of carrying NBCUniversal’s channels, which returned after a carriage dispute earlier in 2026.
You will also pay a separate Regional Sports Fee of $15.99 a month. This is if you live in an area with an NBC-owned regional sports channel, including Boston, Philadelphia, the Bay Area, and California.
What happened to Fubo’s regional sports networks?
The bigger change for you has nothing to do with that price hike. FanDuel Sports Network, the group of regional channels that carried local NBA and NHL games in more than a dozen markets, shut down completely at the end of June 2026.
Its parent company couldn’t find a buyer or new financing. That means every provider that carried the network, not just Fubo, lost the channels at the same time.
Teams affected include the Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Milwaukee Bucks. Others are the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat in the NBA, plus NHL teams like the St. Louis Blues and Minnesota Wild.
Most MLB teams had already left FanDuel Sports Network earlier in 2026, moving to broadcasts run directly by Major League Baseball, so this shutdown mainly hits NBA and NHL fans.
Fubo lists every affected channel on its support site and says it hopes to restore coverage before each team’s next season, though it hasn’t given a date.
What sports coverage is Fubo keeping?
Not every regional channel disappeared. FanDuel Sports Network West was rebranded as Angels Broadcast Television and stayed on Fubo, still carrying the Los Angeles Angels and the Los Angeles Kings.
Fubo also has separate deals outside FanDuel Sports Network that weren’t touched by the shutdown, including Spectrum SportsNet LA for Los Angeles Dodgers games and BravesVision for Atlanta Braves games.
You can check Fubo’s full channel lineup to see what’s actually available where you live. National networks like ESPN, FS1, and NFL Network are unaffected and stay on every base plan.
Fubo has changed hands recently, too. The company merged with Hulu + Live TV in October 2025. Disney now owns most of it, though the two services still charge separately and carry different channels.

Is Fubo still worth it?
If you want general entertainment and national sports, Fubo is still one of the more complete live TV streaming options around. Its new price is close to what rivals like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV charge for their own base plans.
Before you renew, it’s worth checking whether your team has found a new home. This could be a team-run app or a local broadcast deal.
The good news is that the service still offers a free trial you can use to check your local lineup before committing to a full month at the new price.
