Fubo subscribers in the United States face a disrupted weekend of Premier League coverage after the streaming service announced the removal of all NBCUniversal channels on Friday, Nov. 21. The move means as many as five Premier League fixtures that were due to appear on Fubo will not be available to viewers on the platform.<\/p>\n
Fubo said the blackout is the result of a contract dispute with NBCUniversal during renewal negotiations and accused NBCUniversal of “discrimination” in the terms offered. The company made its position public in a detailed statement that set out the reasons behind the decision.<\/p>\n
Fubo released a statement , which read: \u201cFubo has been engaged in good faith negotiations with NBCUniversal (NBCU) to renew our long-standing content agreement to distribute their networks to consumers.<\/p>\n
\u201cFubo believes customers should have the option to choose among multiple distributors to access the content they love. Unfortunately, NBCU has offered terms regarding pricing and packaging that are egregiously above those offered to other distributors. There is no basis for this discrimination and, as a result, Fubo subscribers would either be denied important content or be forced to pay what we believe to be exorbitant costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result, all NBCU networks are no longer on Fubo as of 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 21, 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n
An array of channels is affected, including various regional NBC Sports channels, USA Network, Golf Channel, NBC Universo and more. With five Premier League matches scheduled to be available via Fubo across the weekend, subscribers have been left without the expected access to those fixtures.<\/p>\n
Fubo has urged affected viewers to use alternative services when possible and directed customers to Peacock, saying: “If you have access to Peacock, you can continue watching NBCU content there.” The dispute is ongoing and Fubo says the channels will remain unavailable until an agreement is reached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
