Fubo in the UK: It Has Never Been Sold Here

There is no British Fubo to subscribe to and there never has been. The interesting part is what Fubo does hold — in Canada — and how it compares with what a viewer in England can actually buy.

Short answer

Fubo has never operated in the United Kingdom. Fubo’s own availability article names only Canada and Spain as its other markets, and its corporate descriptions name the same three plus Molotov in France. Meanwhile Fubo holds exclusive Canadian rights to all 380 Premier League matches, while the Premier League sells roughly 267 of them for live UK broadcast. The best way to watch English football is, on that measure, not available in England.

Start here

Never Launched, Never Withdrawn

A great many pages imply Fubo used to be here. It did not.

Fubo’s availability article is short and it does not mention the United Kingdom:

“We also have services available in Canada and Spain.”

Fubo Help Center — is Fubo available in my country?

Canada and Spain. Not Britain, not Ireland, not anywhere else in Europe except Spain. Fubo’s corporate description says the same thing from the other direction — the company operates “in Canada, the U.S., France and Spain”, with France meaning Molotov rather than Fubo.

So there is no British service that closed, no plan that was discontinued and no account to reactivate. If a page tells you Fubo left the UK, that page is describing something that did not happen.

The part that is actually strange

In April 2025 Fubo announced it had retained exclusive Canadian streaming rights to the Premier League on a multi-year deal from the 2025/26 season — all 380 matches, plus shoulder programming. One subscription in Toronto covers the entire English top flight.

Now the English side. The Premier League’s own announcement of its UK deals for 2025/26 to 2028/29 sets out what is sold for live British broadcast: Sky Sports took packages B, C, D and E, and the league describes that as

“a minimum of 215 live matches per season”

Premier League — UK live rights sales process

TNT Sports took package A, 52 matches. Add them and the live UK total is around 267 of 380 — roughly a hundred and thirteen matches that are not shown live in Britain at all. The BBC holds highlights for all 380.

The reason is the Saturday three o’clock closed period, which the league keeps outside the live packages. The 2025/26 deals did widen things: the league notes that for the first time

“all matches taking place outside of the Saturday 3pm ‘closed period’, including those displaced to Sunday 2pm because of club participation in European competitions, will be broadcast live”

Premier League, same announcement

— which is a real improvement and still leaves the 3pm fixtures unshown. This page takes no view on whether that arrangement is a good one. It simply notes the shape it produces: the most complete Premier League package Fubo sells anywhere is in Canada, and the country the league is played in is not the country where you can buy it.

The company, not the app

Where Fubo Operates, in Fubo’s Own Words

Four markets. None of them is Britain, and Fubo has never suggested otherwise.

“Most programming on Fubo is only available in the United States and U.S. territories.”

Fubo Help Center — is Fubo available in my country?

“The programming available in these countries is not the same as what's available in the U.S.”

Same article

The second sentence matters even from a country with no Fubo, because it rules out the assumption underneath most workarounds — that there is one Fubo and the only question is reaching it. There are four products, and Fubo says plainly that they are not the same.

MarketWhat is sold there
United StatesThe full vMVPD: local ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC affiliates, regional sports networks, the entertainment tiers.
CanadaSports only since April 2026 — and every Premier League match, exclusively.
SpainA Spanish free-to-air bundle for a few euros a month. Not a sports vMVPD at all.
FranceNo Fubo brand. Fubo owns Molotov, which is sold under its own name.
The service the search term points at

What the American Service Costs

Since “Fubo” almost always means the American service, here is what it charges at home.

Fubo plan (United States)Price per month
Essential, Pro, Core$88.99
Elite, Ultra$98.99
Ultimate$113.99
Deluxe$118.99
Fubo Sports$64.99

Fubo currently sells Pro, Core, Elite and Ultra as English-language TV plans, a Sports + News service and a Spanish-language Latino plan. The figures above are Fubo’s own, published in its help centre and checked on 21 September 2026.

They went up in 2026 after Fubo agreed carriage of NBCUniversal’s networks, announced on 10 June 2026: TV plans by $15 a month, the Sports service by $9. Fubo does not give a single switchover date — it says the date “will vary depending on when NBCUniversal channels become available in your area”. A regional sports fee of $15.99 a month applies where NBC’s regional networks are carried.

Worth knowing what those plans are built on: American local affiliates, American regional sports networks, the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball and American college sport. The Premier League rights that make Fubo interesting to a British reader are the Canadian company’s, not the American one’s, and they are not in this table.

That distinction is the single most useful thing on this page. Fubo is not one service that some countries can reach and others cannot; it is four services, and the one with the English football is not the one in the table above.

Fubo’s own conditions

Rules That Apply to Any Fubo Account

The published product rules, worth reading before rather than after.

01

Territory

Fubo’s travel article states that the American service is available in the United States and its territories, and that a subscriber travelling outside those areas will not be able to watch it.

02

Local channels follow the stream

The ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC affiliates on an American plan are decided by where the stream is happening rather than where the account was opened. They are the part of the package least likely to behave the way a new subscriber expects.

03

Regional sports need a check-in

Regional Sports Networks do travel, but a device used outside the home area must be checked in from the home area at least once every thirty days. Miss the window and the network stops appearing on that device.

04

Televisions are one location at a time

Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox and smart TVs stream from a single location at a time. Phones, tablets and web browsers do not carry that restriction.

“Local channels such as ABC, CBS, or FOX will not travel with you. The local programming you receive is based on your location when streaming Fubo.”

Fubo Help Center — watching away from home

“Regional Sports channels will travel with you, any devices you use outside of your home area must be ‘checked in’ from your home area at least once per 30 days.”

Same article

“You can only stream on connected TV devices (Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One) or Smart TVs from one location at a time.”

Same article

Worth reading these with the Canadian service in mind rather than the American one, since for a British reader the Canadian package is the interesting half. The regional-sports check-in and the local-affiliate rule are both artefacts of American pay-television geography; neither has a Canadian counterpart.

What does carry across is the first rule. Each of Fubo’s four services is sold for its own territory, and holding rights to all 380 Premier League matches in Canada is not the same as holding them anywhere else.

What USip actually sells

What a Residential US IP Address Changes — and What It Does Not

What it changes

  • Presents a residential United States network route in place of a non-US one
  • Keeps one consistent network identity through sign-in and playback
  • Separates a location question from an account, plan or rights question while you are working out which one you have
  • Lets you test in a desktop browser before configuring a television or a streaming stick

What it leaves untouched

  • Your Fubo account, your plan, or the channels that plan includes
  • Which local channels you are offered — Fubo says those follow the location the stream is happening in
  • The thirty-day home-area check-in that regional sports networks require
  • The one-location-at-a-time rule on connected televisions
  • Whether Fubo serves you. Fubo decides that, and nothing on this page is a guarantee that it will

USip sells the network part and nothing else. Every rule in the section above is Fubo’s and still applies in full.

Worth repeating from a British point of view: the Fubo that carries every Premier League match is the Canadian one, and this section is about the American one. Two different subscriptions, two different sets of rights, and the network question is separate from both.

Before you spend anything

Four Checks Worth Making From the UK

Most of the money wasted here is spent solving the wrong problem.

01

Work out which country’s Fubo you actually want

If the answer is Premier League, it is the Canadian service — and that is a different subscription from the American one, with different rights and a different price list.

02

Check what you can already watch here first

Sky Sports carries a minimum of 215 matches a season and TNT Sports 52, with BBC highlights across all 380. For a large majority of fixtures, the British options are the direct ones.

03

Identify which matches are genuinely unavailable

It is the Saturday 3pm closed period, not a technical restriction and not something any subscription sold in Britain resolves. Knowing that stops you paying to solve a problem that is not a streaming problem.

04

Price the American service honestly if that is what you want

The Sports service is $64.99 a month before the regional sports fee and the entertainment tiers start at $88.99. It carries American sport, not English football.

Residential US IP addresses

Choose the USip Plan That Fits

USip sells residential US IP addresses. It is a network product. Whether it is of any use to you depends entirely on which of the four Fubo services you decided you wanted above — and for the Premier League, the honest answer on this page is that the British broadcasters carry most of it directly.

Questions people actually ask

Fubo in the UK: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fubo available in the UK?

No, and it never has been. Fubo’s own availability article names Canada and Spain as its only other markets, and its corporate descriptions add only Molotov in France.

Did Fubo shut down in the UK?

No. There was never a British Fubo service to shut down. Pages suggesting otherwise are describing something that did not happen.

Does Fubo have the Premier League?

In Canada, yes — exclusively and in full. Fubo announced in April 2025 that it retained exclusive Canadian streaming rights to all 380 matches from the 2025/26 season. The American service does not carry the Premier League on those terms.

How many Premier League matches are shown live in the UK?

Around 267 of 380. Sky Sports holds a minimum of 215 a season and TNT Sports 52, under the deals covering 2025/26 to 2028/29. The BBC holds highlights for all 380.

Why are some matches not shown live in Britain?

The Premier League keeps the Saturday 3pm ‘closed period’ outside its live packages. The 2025/26 agreements did extend live coverage to every match outside that window, including Sunday 2pm fixtures displaced by European competition.

Is Canadian Fubo better than anything sold in Britain, for the Premier League?

On completeness of the league, one Canadian subscription covers all 380 matches and no single British subscription does. On everything else — production, studio coverage, kick-off times, other competitions — this page makes no claim, because it has not measured them.

Will Fubo launch in the UK?

Nothing Fubo has published says so, and this page will not speculate. As of 21 September 2026 its own market list is unchanged.
