Full research notes
Fubo's help article “Does Fubo offer a free trial?” (updated December 6, 2024, archived December 8, 2024) lists a first-month offer for “the Essential plan”. Fubo's plan list updated January 16, 2025 (archived January 21, 2025) lists Essential (Fubo base plan, Unlimited DVR, Unlimited Screens) beside Pro and Elite, which add regional MLB, NHL and NBA games depending on location. The TV Answer Man (December 7, 2024) reported the new base package without regional sports networks, so no regional sports fee, at $79.99 a month; Awful Announcing (January 25, 2025) reported it launched in early December 2024 at $80. Pro also cost $79.99 then, plus any regional sports fee, so Essential was not cheaper than every existing paid plan (Latino cost less): a new option (neutral). The price comes from news reports; Fubo's own pages name the plan but not its launch price.
