Fubo in the Netherlands: It Has Never Been Sold Here

There has never been a Dutch Fubo. There is also, right now, a Dutch streaming market in the middle of changing owners, which is a genuinely awkward moment to be signing up to anything.

Short answer

Fubo has never operated in the Netherlands. And the timing is unusual: on 1 July 2026 Viaplay Group agreed to sell its Dutch operations to Videoland, owned by DPG Media, for €142 million, closing “in the coming months”. The announcement says nothing about sports rights. For the NFL, the league’s own Game Pass on DAZN covers the Netherlands and is not part of that transaction.

Start here

The Dutch Market Is Being Sold Right Now

Most country pages describe a settled picture. This one cannot, and pretending otherwise would be the wrong kind of confident.

The straightforward part first. Fubo’s availability article names two other countries and the Netherlands is not among them:

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

Fubo Help Center — is Fubo available in my country?

No Dutch launch, therefore no Dutch shutdown.

The unusual part is what is happening to the Dutch market itself. On 1 July 2026, Viaplay Group announced:

“Viaplay Group enters into agreement to sell Dutch operations”

Viaplay Group press release, 1 July 2026

The buyer is Videoland, owned by DPG Media. The price is €142 million on a cash and debt-free basis, and the transaction was expected to close “in the coming months”.

What the announcement does not say

It says nothing about sports rights. Not which ones transfer, not which ones lapse, not what a current Dutch subscriber should expect.

This page could fill that gap with reasoning and it is not going to. A line-up guessed at during a change of ownership is a line-up that will be wrong by the time you read it, and being wrong slowly is worse than saying plainly that the answer is not published yet.

What a Dutch reader can usefully take from this: if you are about to commit to an annual Dutch subscription for sport, it is worth establishing who will own it in three months before you do.

What is settled

One thing is not affected by any of the above, because it is sold internationally rather than by a Dutch operator. The NFL’s own pass, through DAZN:

“Every NFL game live throughout the season, including the International Games, Playoffs and Super Bowl LXI.”

NFL.com — what is NFL Game Pass on DAZN

“Available internationally only on DAZN in more than 200 markets.”

Same page

For American football, that is a complete answer and an ownership-proof one. For everything else American, the Dutch position is genuinely unsettled at the moment, and this page would rather tell you that than fill the space.

The company, not the app

Where Fubo Operates, in Fubo’s Own Words

Four markets. The Netherlands has never been one of them.

“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

One steady point in a moving picture: Fubo’s own footprint has not changed, and it has never included the Netherlands.

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.

What the American Service Costs

Whatever happens to the Dutch market, these are the American numbers.

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.

There is an argument for the American service that only really applies in a market like this one: it is not part of the transaction. Whoever ends up owning what in the Netherlands, an American subscription is unaffected by it.

That is a thin argument on its own, and it is not worth the price difference by itself. It is worth noting only because the alternative right now is a Dutch subscription whose future line-up nobody has published.

Fubo’s own conditions

Rules That Apply to Any Fubo Account

Fubo’s published rules. Unlike the Dutch picture above, these are settled and written down.

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

These have the merit of being stable. Fubo has published them, they do not change with a transaction, and they are the same for every subscriber.

The local-channel rule is still the one most new subscribers meet unprepared: which American stations you are offered follows where the stream is happening, not where the account was opened.

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.

From the Netherlands there is a sequencing point worth making. The Dutch question — who will own what, and carry what — has no published answer yet. It is a reasonable moment to buy nothing annual, in either direction, until it does.

Before you spend anything

Four Checks Worth Making From the Netherlands

The first one is unusual and it is the one that matters this quarter.

01

Check who owns what you are about to buy

Viaplay agreed on 1 July 2026 to sell its Dutch operations to Videoland, part of DPG Media, with completion expected within months. If you are signing up for a year, that is worth knowing first.

02

Avoid annual commitments until it closes

Nothing published says which rights move and which do not. A monthly plan costs slightly more and leaves you free when the answer arrives.

03

Separate the NFL from everything else

The league’s own Game Pass on DAZN covers the Netherlands, carries every game, and is not part of any Dutch transaction. If American football is the whole question, it is already answered.

04

Only then price the American service

The Sports service is $64.99 a month before the regional sports fee and the entertainment tiers start at $88.99, in US dollars.

Residential US IP addresses

Choose the USip Plan That Fits

USip sells residential US IP addresses. It is a network product. Given how much of the Dutch picture is unsettled at the moment, it is worth being exact about which parts of the question it touches and which it does not.

Questions people actually ask

Fubo in the Netherlands: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fubo available in the Netherlands?

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.

What is happening to Viaplay in the Netherlands?

Viaplay Group announced on 1 July 2026 that it had agreed to sell its Dutch streaming and broadcasting operations to Videoland, owned by DPG Media, for €142 million on a cash and debt-free basis, expected to close in the coming months.

What happens to the sports rights?

Viaplay’s announcement does not say. This page will not guess at it. Until something is published, the honest answer is that it is not known.

Can I watch the NFL in the Netherlands?

Yes. The NFL’s own Game Pass on DAZN covers the Netherlands and carries every game of the season including the playoffs and the Super Bowl. It is sold internationally and is not part of the Dutch transaction.

Did Fubo shut down in the Netherlands?

No. There was never a Dutch Fubo service to shut down.

Should I wait before subscribing to anything Dutch?

For an annual plan, there is a reasonable case for waiting until the sale closes and the line-up is published. For a monthly plan it matters much less. This page has no interest in either outcome.

Will Videoland carry what Viaplay carried?

Nothing published says so. Repeating the question is the only honest thing this page can do with it.
