FuboTV Now Lets You Pick and Choose with Standalone Subscriptions
Big news from Fubo—if you’ve ever wanted to grab just a few channels without committing to a full streaming plan, they’re finally making that happen. With their new standalone premium subscription services, you can sign up for Paramount+ With Showtime, NBA League Pass, or FanDuel Sports Network (formerly Bally Sports Network) without needing the usual Fubo base package. Honestly, it’s about time.
We get it—most of us have too many subscriptions already, and paying for a big bundle just to get a couple of channels can be a real pain. Fubo seems to be addressing that with this move. It feels like they’re taking a step toward letting us stream the way we actually want to.
What’s the Deal?
Here’s what Fubo is offering:
- Standalone Subscriptions: Finally, no more being tied down to a bulky channel lineup. Just grab the premium content you’re into and skip the rest.
- Fubo Free: Subscribing to a standalone service gets you access to nearly 200 free ad-supported streaming channels. Not bad, though FAST channels can be hit or miss.
- Traditional Packages Still Exist: If you like having all your sports, news, and entertainment in one place, the regular Fubo plans aren’t going anywhere.
You’ll also get perks like unlimited Cloud DVR (because we all forget to hit record sometimes) and the ability to stream on multiple screens at once.
Is It Worth It?
That depends. If you’re a hardcore sports fan or love a specific premium channel, this is a smart option. Want to catch all the NBA action with League Pass or dig into hit shows with Paramount+ With Showtime? You can grab those without the extra baggage. But for folks who need a bit more variety—or aren’t super into sports—it might not replace a traditional streaming package just yet.
That said, we like where Fubo is heading with this whole “Super Aggregation strategy” (their words, not ours). They’re trying to make it easier to mix and match your streaming services without feeling locked into one platform. Fingers crossed they keep expanding the standalone options.
Why This Matters
Streaming can feel overwhelming these days, with every platform offering “the best deal” and forcing you into bundles. This move from Fubo shows they’re listening (finally) and trying to give viewers more control. While it’s not perfect, it’s a step in the right direction—and worth keeping an eye on if you’re rethinking your subscriptions.
