Fubo TV NFL Guide 2026: Plans, Channels, Cost, Free Trial, Local Games, NFL Network & RedZone
The Fubo TV NFL lineup has changed more in the past year than at any point since the service launched. NBC went dark on Fubo for six months, returned in June 2026, and prices rose right after. ESPN now runs NFL Network, which carries seven regular season games no other network shows. This guide covers what Fubo gives football fans for the 2026 season, what it really costs, and which games you still cannot get.
Every price and channel detail below was checked against Fubo’s own help centre and the NFL’s schedule release in August 2026, ahead of a season that opens Wednesday 9 September 2026 and ends with Super Bowl LXI on 14 February 2027.

Fubo TV NFL Coverage in 2026: The Short Answer
Fubo is a live TV streaming service with no cable box and no contract. For football it carries your local CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC stations plus ESPN and NFL Network, which covers Sunday afternoons, Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, the Sunday morning international games, the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cheapest NFL plan | Sports + News, $64.99 a month, select markets |
| Standard plan | Pro, $88.99 a month, plus a regional sports fee |
| NFL Network | Included free, and it has 7 games nobody else shows |
| NFL RedZone | Sports Plus add on, $10.99 a month |
| Free trial | Five days for new customers |
| Games you cannot get | Thursday Night Football, five Netflix games, one Peacock game, one Wild Card game, out of market Sundays |
Fubo Plans and Prices in 2026
Fubo raised prices across its English language plans in July 2026 after signing a new carriage deal with NBCUniversal. TV plans went up $15 a month. The Sports + News service went up $9. Fubo Latino went from $14.99 to $19.99.
| Plan | Price per month | First month | What you get for the NFL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sports + News | $64.99 | $54.99 | 30 plus channels. Local NBC, CBS, FOX and ABC in select markets, every ESPN network, NFL Network, FS1, CBS Sports Network. ESPN Unlimited is surfaced inside the Fubo app. Select markets. |
| Pro | $88.99 | $63.99 | Full base lineup with locals, ESPN and NFL Network, plus regional sports networks. Regional sports fee charged on top. |
| Core | $88.99 | Varies | Sold instead of Pro in select markets at the same price. |
| Elite | $98.99 | $68.99 | Pro lineup plus 4K, Fubo Extra and News Plus. |
| Ultra | $98.99 | Varies | Sold instead of Elite in select markets at the same price. |
| Latino | $19.99 | $9.99 | Spanish language plan. Sunday afternoon NFL games are not included. |
| Sports Plus with NFL RedZone | $10.99 | n/a | 15 channel add on that unlocks NFL RedZone. |
Core and Ultra are not upgrades. Fubo prices them exactly the same as Pro and Elite and lists the same features, so ignore any guide quoting them at $104.98 and $114.98. Fubo does not publish separate channel counts for Core and Ultra, so treat them as market specific versions rather than bigger packages. Essential ($88.99), Ultimate ($113.99), Deluxe ($118.99) and Premier still exist but only for subscribers already on them.
One warning before you sign up. Fubo rolled the increase out in stages as NBC channels launched market by market, so your billing date decides when the new price hits. Fubo’s own help pages also carry a disclaimer that their prices may be out of date, and several of them still quote the old $55.99 figure for Sports + News. Trust the checkout screen over everything else.
The Regional Sports Fee: The Cost Most Guides Miss
Fubo charges a regional sports fee on top of the advertised price, and it does not appear on the plan pages. It shows up at checkout. Fubo’s wording is that the fee is based on your area and will be up to $16.99 a month. In NBC Sports Boston, NBC Sports Philadelphia, NBC Sports Bay Area and NBC Sports California markets it is $15.99. If you signed up through a Roku device it is a flat $16.00 wherever you live.
That turns a $88.99 Pro plan into roughly $105 a month in a full fee market. Regional sports networks carry no NFL games, so the money buys local baseball, basketball and hockey rather than football.
Can you dodge it with Sports + News? Possibly, but do not count on it. Fubo lists regional sports channels as included with the TV plans (Pro, Core, Elite and Ultra) and does not list the Sports service alongside them, yet its Sports page also says regional sports networks may be included if they are available in your area, and Sports + News does carry a handful of local team channels. The fee is triggered by the regional coverage in your zip code, not by the plan name, so check the total shown at signup before assuming you have avoided it.
NBC Is Back on Fubo: Sunday Night Football Returns
NBCUniversal pulled its channels from Fubo on 25 November 2025. For roughly six months Fubo had no NBC, which meant no Sunday Night Football and no NBC playoff coverage. If you find a Fubo review saying NBC is missing, that is why, and it is out of date.
Fubo and NBCUniversal announced a new distribution agreement on 10 June 2026. NBC, Telemundo, Universo, Bravo, NBCSN and the NBC Sports regional networks all returned. NBC and NBCSN sit in the English language TV plans and in the Sports + News service, so Sunday Night Football is covered on every plan a football fan would choose.
Two caveats. Local NBC affiliates came back market by market rather than all at once, so check your zip code before you commit. And channels now owned by Versant, including USA Network, Syfy, E! and Golf Channel, were not part of this deal and remain off Fubo.
Fubo Free Trial and First Month Prices
Fubo’s current standard offer is a five day free trial for new customers. Fubo states that trial length can vary by offer, so confirm the end date at checkout. The seven day figure quoted on many sites is Fubo Canada copy, not the US offer.
- A credit or debit card is required to activate the trial.
- New customers only. Returning subscribers are billed straight away.
- Cancelling during the trial expires it immediately. You lose the remaining days, so wait until the final day if you want all five.
- First month discounts stack on top: Sports + News is $54.99, Pro $63.99, Elite $68.99 and Latino $9.99 for month one.
Timed from a Thursday, a five day trial covers a full NFL Sunday plus Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football before your card is charged.
Does Fubo Have NFL Network in 2026?
Yes, and it matters more this season than it used to. NFL Network is included at no extra cost in every English language Fubo plan and in Sports + News. No add on required.
Under the NFL media deal that handed the league an equity stake in ESPN, ESPN now operates NFL Network and handles NFL RedZone distribution. Carriage on Fubo was unaffected. The channel also sits inside the ESPN app for ESPN Unlimited subscribers.
Here is what most Fubo guides miss. NFL Network carries seven regular season games in 2026 that no other national network or streamer shows. Five are Sunday morning International Series games, and two more come in a Week 16 Saturday doubleheader.
| Week | Date | Game | Venue | Kickoff ET |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Sun 4 Oct | Colts at Commanders | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London | 9:30 a.m. |
| 5 | Sun 11 Oct | Eagles at Jaguars | Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London | 9:30 a.m. |
| 6 | Sun 18 Oct | Texans at Jaguars | Wembley Stadium, London | 9:30 a.m. |
| 7 | Sun 25 Oct | Steelers at Saints | Stade de France, Paris | 9:30 a.m. |
| 9 | Sun 8 Nov | Bengals at Falcons | Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid | 9:30 a.m. |
The Week 16 doubleheader on Saturday 26 December runs at 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. ET. NFL Network will show two of Buccaneers at Falcons, Commanders at Vikings, Panthers at Steelers and Bengals at Colts, announced at least two weeks beforehand.
One honest caveat on the word exclusive. These seven games have no national simulcast, but the NFL puts every game on free over the air television in the two participating teams’ home markets, and NFL+ streams them on phones and tablets. If your team is playing, you may well get it locally without Fubo. Everyone else needs the channel. NFL Network also televises 19 live preseason games, with ESPN carrying 12 more on the ESPN app, plus daily news, NFL Films programming and draft coverage. More in our NFL Network 2026 guide.
How to Watch NFL RedZone on Fubo
NFL RedZone is not in any base plan. You add it through the Sports Plus with NFL RedZone package at $10.99 a month. RedZone runs about seven hours every Sunday afternoon in the regular season, whips between games as they reach scoring range, and carries no commercial breaks.
To add it:
- Sign in at fubo.tv and open My Account.
- Choose Manage Add ons.
- Select Sports Plus with NFL RedZone.
- Confirm. The channel appears in your guide right away.
The add on is 15 channels, not just RedZone. It also brings NBA TV, NHL Network, MLB Network, MLB Strikezone, Tennis Channel, ESPNU, ESPNEWS and several smaller sports networks, so it earns its keep if you watch more than football. If RedZone is the only thing you want, compare it against the ESPN Unlimited and NFL+ Premium bundle, which starts at $39.99 a month and includes RedZone, NFL Network and live games on mobile.
Which 2026 Games You Can Watch, and Which You Cannot
Fubo covers the four broadcast networks, ESPN and NFL Network. It does not cover the streaming exclusives. Here is the full split for 2026.
On Fubo:
| Games | Channel |
|---|---|
| Sunday 1:00 and 4:25 p.m. ET, in market only | CBS and FOX |
| Sunday Night Football, all season | NBC |
| Monday Night Football, 17 games, 10 simulcast on ABC | ESPN and ABC |
| Season opener, Wed 9 Sept, Patriots at Seahawks, 8:20 p.m. | NBC and Peacock |
| Five International Series Sundays, 9:30 a.m. ET | NFL Network |
| Rio de Janeiro, Sun 27 Sept, Ravens at Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. | CBS |
| Munich, Sun 15 Nov, Patriots at Lions, 9:30 a.m. | FOX |
| Mexico City, Sun 22 Nov, Vikings at 49ers, 8:20 p.m. | NBC |
| Thanksgiving, Thu 26 Nov, all three games | CBS, FOX and NBC |
| Week 16 Saturday doubleheader, 26 Dec, 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. | NFL Network |
| Christmas Day nightcap, Fri 25 Dec, Rams at Seahawks, 8:15 p.m. | FOX |
| Week 17 Saturday, 2 Jan, 4:30 p.m. ET | NBC and Peacock |
| Week 18 Saturday, 9 Jan, 4:30 and 8:00 p.m. ET | ESPN and ABC |
| Wild Card, Divisional and Conference Championships | CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC and ESPN |
| Super Bowl LXI, Sun 14 Feb 2027 | ABC and ESPN |
Not on Fubo:
| Games | Where they are |
|---|---|
| Thursday Night Football, 15 games in Weeks 2 to 11 and 13 to 17 | Prime Video |
| Black Friday, 27 Nov, Broncos at Steelers, 3:00 p.m. ET | Prime Video |
| One Wild Card playoff game, Jan 2027 | Prime Video |
| Melbourne opener, Thu 10 Sept, 49ers at Rams, 8:35 p.m. ET | Netflix |
| Thanksgiving Eve, Wed 25 Nov, Packers at Rams, 8:00 p.m. ET | Netflix |
| Christmas Day, Fri 25 Dec, Packers at Bears and Bills at Broncos | Netflix |
| Week 18 Saturday, 9 Jan, 1:00 p.m. ET | Netflix |
| Week 17 Saturday, 2 Jan, 8:00 p.m. ET | Peacock exclusive |
| Out of market Sunday afternoon games | NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube |
Thursday does not automatically mean Amazon. The Melbourne opener belongs to Netflix, and all three Thanksgiving Thursday games are on broadcast networks Fubo carries. Both Saturday holiday dates are split too: Fubo has the earlier window on 2 January and the two later windows on 9 January, but not the other way round. See our guides to NFL on Prime Video, Netflix NFL games, Thanksgiving games and Christmas games for the full schedules.
Fubo TV NFL Channels: The Full List
| Channel | What it carries | Included in |
|---|---|---|
| CBS | Sunday afternoon AFC heavy slate, Rio game, Thanksgiving opener, playoffs, AFC Championship | All English plans and Sports + News, in supported markets |
| FOX | Sunday afternoon NFC heavy slate, Munich game, Christmas nightcap, playoffs, NFC Championship | All English plans and Sports + News, in supported markets |
| NBC | Sunday Night Football, season opener, Mexico City game, playoffs | English plans and Sports + News, rolling out by market |
| ABC | 10 Monday Night Football simulcasts, a Wild Card and a Divisional game, Super Bowl LXI | All English plans, and Sports + News in select markets |
| ESPN | All 17 Monday Night Football games, a Wild Card game, a Divisional game, Super Bowl LXI | All English plans and Sports + News |
| NFL Network | Seven regular season games no one else has, 19 preseason games, daily news, NFL Films | All English plans and Sports + News |
| NFL RedZone | Every Sunday scoring play, live look ins | Sports Plus add on, $10.99 |
| FS1 and FS2 | FOX studio shows and analysis, no NFL games | All English plans and Sports + News |
| CBS Sports Network | Studio and college programming, no NFL games | All English plans and Sports + News |
| NBCSN | NBC Sports studio programming | English plans and Sports + News |
Local station availability is the one variable you must check yourself. Fubo carries ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CW, MyNetworkTV and Telemundo affiliates in most major markets, but not all of them, and ABC in particular is listed as select markets on the Sports + News plan. Where a station is missing, Fubo points you to on demand or the network’s own TV Everywhere app.
Fubo vs NFL Sunday Ticket and the Other Streamers
NFL Sunday Ticket is not a rival to Fubo, it is a complement. Sunday Ticket carries every out of market Sunday afternoon game and nothing else: no primetime games, no playoffs, no international games. It is sold only through YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels.
| Feature | Fubo | NFL Sunday Ticket |
|---|---|---|
| In market Sunday games | Yes | No |
| Out of market Sunday games | No | Yes |
| Sunday Night Football | Yes | No |
| Monday Night Football | Yes | No |
| NFL Network and its 7 unique games | Yes | No |
| Playoffs and Super Bowl LXI | Yes | No |
| NFL RedZone | $10.99 add on | Add on available |
| 2026 price | From $64.99 a month | $240 for the season for new subscribers, $378 with YouTube TV or $480 standalone at returning rates |
Against the other live TV services, Fubo’s pitch is the cheaper sports only tier and unlimited cloud DVR. Since October 2025 Fubo and Hulu + Live TV have sat under the same roof, after Disney combined the two businesses and took roughly 70 percent ownership, but they still run as separate services with separate lineups and separate prices. Compare with our NFL on Hulu + Live TV and NFL Sunday Ticket guides before you pick.
Devices, Screens, Cloud DVR and 4K
- Devices: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Google TV, Samsung, LG, Vizio SmartCast, Hisense VIDAA and Xumo TVs, iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, web browsers, Chromecast and Xbox. PlayStation and Nintendo consoles are not supported.
- Screens: up to 10 devices at once on your designated home network, plus 3 more away from home on mobile or web. Latino is 2 by default.
- Away from home: TV devices can only stream from one location at a time, your local channels follow your physical location, and regional sports access needs a periodic sign in from your home area.
- Cloud DVR: unlimited on every US plan at no extra charge. Recordings are held for nine months.
- 4K: Elite and Ultra only among the plans sold today. Fubo streams selected events in 4K rather than running full time 4K channels, and only a handful of NFL games are produced that way each season.
- Multiview: supported on Apple TV and several other platforms, handy for two Sunday games side by side.
How to Sign Up, Sign In and Cancel Fubo
Sign up at fubo.tv, enter your zip code so Fubo can show your local stations, pick a plan and add a card. To sign in later, open the app or site, choose Sign In and enter your email and password. Fubo retired Facebook, Google and Apple sign in because of device partner obligations, so email is the only route.
To cancel, open My Account, choose Subscription, then Cancel Subscription and follow it through to the final confirmation screen. Cancel after the trial and you keep access until the end of the billing period. Cancel during the trial and access stops immediately.
Fubo does not offer a pause option. Older guides describing a three month pause are wrong. Fubo states plainly that it cannot pause or suspend subscriptions. If you only want football, cancel at the end of the season and reactivate in September.
Fubo TV NFL FAQs
Which Fubo plan is best for NFL fans in 2026?
Sports + News at $64.99 a month, where it is offered. It carries local NBC, CBS and FOX, ABC in select markets, every ESPN network and NFL Network, which is every game Fubo can show. Pro at $88.99 adds regional sports networks you do not need for football. Check the regional sports fee shown at checkout on either plan.
How much does Fubo cost for NFL games in 2026?
Sports + News is $64.99 a month, or $54.99 for the first month. Pro and Core are both $88.99 and Elite and Ultra are both $98.99, each plus a regional sports fee of up to $16.99 depending on your area. Fubo Latino is $19.99 but has no Sunday afternoon NFL games. Adding NFL RedZone costs $10.99 more.
Does Fubo have NFL Network?
Yes, at no extra cost in every English language Fubo plan and in Sports + News. It matters this season because NFL Network carries seven regular season games no other national network or streamer shows: five Sunday morning International Series games from London, Paris and Madrid, plus a Week 16 Saturday doubleheader on 26 December.
Are the Sunday morning international games on Fubo?
Five of them are, through NFL Network, kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET in Weeks 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Fubo also has the Rio game on CBS, Munich on FOX and Mexico City on NBC. The only international game Fubo cannot show is the Melbourne opener on 10 September, which belongs to Netflix.
Is NFL RedZone included with Fubo?
No. RedZone requires the Sports Plus with NFL RedZone add on at $10.99 a month, which bundles 15 channels including NBA TV, NHL Network, MLB Network and Tennis Channel. Add it from Manage Add ons in your account. The ESPN Unlimited and NFL+ Premium bundle from $39.99 a month is the main alternative.
Does Fubo have NBC and Sunday Night Football again?
Yes. NBCUniversal pulled its channels on 25 November 2025 and they returned under a deal announced on 10 June 2026. NBC and NBCSN now sit in the English language plans and the Sports + News service. Local NBC affiliates came back market by market, so check your zip code before signing up.
Can I watch Thursday Night Football on Fubo?
No. Prime Video holds all 15 Thursday Night Football games in Weeks 2 to 11 and 13 to 17, plus the Black Friday game on 27 November. Thursday does not always mean Amazon though: all three Thanksgiving games on 26 November are on CBS, FOX and NBC, and Fubo carries those.
Does Fubo carry NFL Sunday Ticket?
No. Sunday Ticket is sold only through YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels. For the 2026 season it is $240 for new subscribers on either route, rising to $378 with YouTube TV or $480 standalone at returning rates. Fubo gives you your in market games instead.
How long is the Fubo free trial?
Five days is the current standard offer for new US customers, though Fubo notes trial length can vary by offer, so confirm the end date at checkout. The seven day figure quoted on many sites is Fubo Canada copy. Cancelling early expires the trial at once and forfeits the remaining days.
Can I watch the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl LXI on Fubo?
Almost all of it. Wild Card weekend runs 16 to 18 January 2027, the Divisional round is 23 and 24 January and the Conference Championships are on 31 January, spread across CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC and ESPN. ESPN and ABC hold one Wild Card game and one Divisional game, then Super Bowl LXI on 14 February 2027. The one gap is a single Wild Card game streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
Can I pause my Fubo subscription in the off season?
No. Fubo states it does not offer the ability to pause or suspend subscriptions. Cancel instead, keep access until the end of your billing period, then reactivate before the season starts. Cloud DVR recordings are held for nine months.
Is Fubo Worth It for NFL Fans in 2026?
For most fans, yes. The Fubo TV NFL package covers all four broadcast networks again, plus ESPN and an NFL Network carrying seven regular season games nobody else has. That is everything except the streaming exclusives and the out of market slate. Sports + News at $64.99 is the cheapest live TV route to a full NFL Sunday where it is sold, and unlimited cloud DVR on every tier beats what most rivals offer.
Be clear on the gaps first. Thursday nights and one Wild Card game need Prime Video, five games need Netflix, one Saturday game needs Peacock, and out of market Sundays need Sunday Ticket on YouTube. Check the regional sports fee at checkout, because it can add up to $16.99 to any quote. If none of that is a dealbreaker, start the five day trial on a Thursday and you will have watched a full weekend of football before your card is charged.
