Fubo TV Secures NBCUniversal Deal for Comprehensive Paris Olympics Coverage amidst Competition from Sports Streaming Superstars
Fubo TV has secured an agreement with NBCUniversal to provide comprehensive coverage of the upcoming Paris Olympics to its subscribers. This announcement comes at a time when Fubo is also facing competition from a planned sports super-streamer involving The Walt Disney Company, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery.
The coverage of the 2024 Olympics will be included in FuboTV’s existing subscriber plans at no additional cost. The streaming service’s Pro plan offers access to all NBCUniversal channels with Olympics coverage, while the Elite plan includes the same channels as well as 4K coverage.
FuboTV previously provided its customers with access to NBCUniversal’s coverage of the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, China. Subscribers will once again be able to watch NBCUniversal’s Olympic programming, including live competition sessions starting on July 24 and on-demand viewing options.
The Paris Games’ opening ceremony is set to take place on July 26, with coverage spanning across the NBC broadcast network, as well as NBCUniversal channels like USA Network, E!, CNBC, and the Golf Channel. Digital streaming will also be available through NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, and the NBC Sports app, offering over 5,000 hours of Olympic content.
NBC Sports has lined up a star-studded roster of celebrities to cover the 17-day event. During the opening ceremony, stars like Kelly Clarkson, Peyton Manning, Today show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, and sports commentator Mike Tirico will be on-site as thousands of athletes parade down the River Seine on a 4-mile-long flotilla consisting of over 90 boats.
