In 2018, FuboTV cofounder and CEO David Gandler said Disney would be “a fantastic partner.” At the time Disney was gearing up to launch its own streaming service, Disney+, and was in no rush to lower its licensing fees. But a licensing deal with ESPN, the leading sports network, had eluded FuboTV-subscribers missed out on Monday Night Football on ESPN or primetime NBA games on ABC, among other nationally televised offerings. The new channels come thanks to a distribution deal with Disney, which owns all of them (not to mention FX, the Disney Channel, Freeform, National Geographic, and others, to which FuboTV subscribers will also gain access).įuboTV had long built itself up as a destination for sports fans, widening its offerings back in 2017 to include games and related content from the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL. Starting later this summer FuboTV will stream all ESPN channels, primetime broadcaster ABC, and college sports channels SEC Network and ACC Network, FuboTV’s parent company FaceBank Group announced on Wednesday.
