I need to pick up a service for games this fall. I would prefer to get Fubo since my Amex has an offer of 25 back a month for 3 months. I’ve had YouTube TV and know it’s good.

Anyone have Fubo and will I get all the games on it?

I have Fubo and it has pretty much every sports channel out there.

How much is it? YouTube TV going up to 80 a month has me questioning it.

YouTube is $73/month. I’ve had it for a few years and have really liked it. Service has been very good. Have no experience with Fubo.

I got the Hulu live, which comes with Disney plus(don't care) and ESPN+. Amex gives me the credit, so it's like $6x a month.

Hulu UI sucks, but ESPN+ and some of the Hulu library has been decent.

Spectrum cut all ESPN channels at the start of the Utah v UF games. Guess I'll be watching on YouTube this season... and canceling Charter Spectrum.

I’ve had both, and YouTubeTV is far superior IMO.

YouTube works phenomenal on your phone as well. Their app is great. I use it a ton when riding in the car back from games.

I've had both and like both, but prefer YouTube TV. My biggest issue with Fubo is that they don't have TNT or TBS and I guess I watch those channels more than I thought I did.

This is the exact reason I switched ^. But now I find myself back on Fubo as I live in TX and my wife is a huge Astros fan - they have every game on ATT sports net. YouTube doesn’t have the channel.

The base packages are about the same price….$74 for YouTubeTV and $75 for Fubo, as those are the two comparable packages.
We just found YouTubeTV to be a lot more user friendly in regards to the guides, etc

You can do a free trial of each one, that is what I would suggest doing. You aren’t committed to either since there are no contracts so it’s easy to switch if you like one better than the other. It also can vary depending on the area you are in with channel availability etc.

The last time I had Fubo, it was prone to freezes and drops of broadcasts here in CenTex. Also, its SP has cratered, though it has now recovered a little, and they are still bleeding cash. I wonder about their viability.

This is the answer if anyone is on the fence. Just do the trail and see if you like it. They are incredibly easy to turn off and on.

Sling was the cheapest I found to just add sports without all the other content. I did orange + sports

F*&$ Spectrum
