๐ช Fubo and Disney join forces
FuboTV and The Walt Disney Company have completed the transaction to merge the businesses of Fubo and Hulu + Live TV.
The new combined company becomes the sixth-largest pay-TV provider in the US with nearly 6 million subscribers in North America.
Users will gain access to over 55,000 live sports events from Fubo and the extensive entertainment content of Hulu + Live TV.
Fubo and Hulu + Live TV will continue to operate as separate platforms. Hulu + Live TV will remain available within the Hulu app and in the bundle with Disney+ and ESPN Unlimited.
The combination is expected to allow for reduced content costs, optimized advertising, and increased profitability. Disney will also provide the new company with a $145 million loan in 2026.
Operational management will be retained by the Fubo team led by CEO David Gandler. Andy Bird has been appointed Chairman of the Board.
