Video Streaming Services That Let You Cut Cable TV

Monthly bill: $80 to $110 per month

What you get: This sports-centric service provides live and on-demand channels from ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC in most markets. It recently raised prices by $5 a month. You also get cable channels (AMC, Bravo, Discovery, FX, HGTV, Syfy, and TLC) and sports networks (BeIn Sports, FS1, Golf Channel, MSG, SNY, and NBA TV). Thanks to a deal with Disney, the service now has ESPN (ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPN 3), plus the SEC and ACC networks in certain markets.

The $80-a-month Pro plan has over 200 channels with local stations in most markets, plus lots of sports networks (including MLB and NFL Networks) and many cable channels, though currently not Turner channels (CNN, TBS, TNT).

The $100-a-month Elite plan has morphed into the Elite with Sports Plus plan, with more than 290 channels plus 4K video when available. This package adds the 55 additional sports, entertainment, and news channels you get with the Fubo Extra and News Plus add-on packages. The Deluxe plan, formerly called the Premier plan, costs $110 per month, has about 350 channels, as well as MGM+. A Latino plan is $33 a month; it offers more than 60 channels and more than 100 sporting events.

Note that Fubo is currently the only streaming service that charges a fee for regional sports networks—up to $15 a month, depending on your area. These used to be free on Pro and higher plans.

You can add several premium channels, though not Max (formerly HBO Max). One plan combines MGM+, Paramount+ with Showtime, and Starz for $20 per month. Separately, Paramount+ with Showtime and Starz each cost $11 a month. Sports fans can get Sports Plus with NFL RedZone, with NCAA games and RedZone from the NFL Network, for an extra $11 per month. The Fubo Extra plan adds more TV shows, movies, news, sports, music, and kids’ entertainment for $8 a month. There are also several Spanish-language plans and add-ons.

All of the plans come with an unlimited cloud DVR, and allow up to 10 simultaneous users at home, plus two on the go.

Fubo also has an MLB.TV direct-to-consumer add-on package for an additional $30 per month that lets baseball fans stream out-of-market games, both live and on demand.

What you don’t get: Compared with many other services, Fubo’s on-demand library is limited. Also, Fubo hasn’t been able to reach a deal with Warner Brothers Discovery for its networks, including Discovery, HGTV, Food Network and TLC, among others. It also still lacks the Turner sports networks, TNT, TBS and truTV. Also missing are A&E networks, including A&E, History Channel, Lifetime, and Vice TV. It did reach a deal to restore the Yes Network, home to Yankees games.
