Fubo Is Bringing Back NBCUniversal Channels, But You'll Have to Wait for Most of Them
The deal restores Telemundo and Universo immediately and returns NBCUniversal channels across several Fubo plans as the streamer prepares for 104 World Cup matches.
- On Wednesday, Fubo reached a distribution agreement with NBCUniversal, ending a seven-month carriage dispute that began in November 2025 and left subscribers without access to major programming.
- Channels were removed in November 2025 after negotiations stalled, with Fubo claiming Comcast demanded fees "egregiously above those offered to other distributors."
- Telemundo and Universo became available immediately, providing Spanish-language coverage for all 104 FIFA World Cup matches, while English-language networks will "launch in the coming weeks," according to Fubo.
- "We're thrilled to announce the return of NBCUniversal networks to Fubo," said Todd Mathers, executive vice president of content strategy and acquisition, highlighting expanded programming across multiple tiers.
- It remains unclear whether channels owned by Versant, spun out of Comcast last year, will return to the platform; Fubo also did not specify if it plans to revert to original pricing.
