It’s one of the most searched streaming questions in the U.S., and the confusion is completely understandable — Amazon sells and delivers so many streaming services that it’s natural to wonder if Fubo is bundled in. Here is everything you actually need to know, without the runaround.
The relationship between Fubo and Amazon is genuinely confusing — the apps live on the same devices, you can launch them from the same remote, and Amazon has recently added some Fubo-branded free content to its platform. But none of that means Fubo is included in Prime. Here’s what does and doesn’t exist between these two services.
- 1 Is Fubo TV included with an Amazon Prime membership? No — not at all, in any form. Amazon Prime is a membership program from Amazon that includes free shipping, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and other Amazon services. Fubo is a live TV streaming service from an entirely different company. Prime does not subsidize, discount, or include a Fubo subscription. When you sign up for Fubo, you pay Fubo directly — Amazon has no part in that transaction regardless of which device you watch on.
- 2 Can I add Fubo as a channel through Amazon Prime Video like I can add Paramount+ or Starz? No — Fubo is not available as a Prime Video Channel add-on. Amazon’s Prime Video Channels program lets you subscribe to certain streaming services and bill them through your Amazon account — services like Paramount+, AMC+, and BritBox appear this way. Fubo is not part of this program. You cannot find Fubo in the Prime Video Channels store, add it to your Prime account, or receive consolidated billing through Amazon. Fubo operates through its own website and apps only.
- 3 Is there any Fubo content I can watch for free through Amazon at all? There is one small exception worth knowing about. Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service — formerly called Amazon Freevee, now integrated into Prime Video as free content — carries the Fubo Sports Network channel. This is a limited ad-supported channel with some sports highlights and programming. It is a tiny fraction of what a Fubo subscription delivers and should not be mistaken for actual Fubo access. Watching Fubo Sports Network on Freevee does not give you live sports, live TV channels, cloud DVR, or any of Fubo’s paid features. It’s a branded channel, not the service itself.
- 4 How can I actually try Fubo for free? Fubo offers a 5-day free trial to new subscribers — the most direct and reliable way to watch Fubo without paying. You sign up at fubo.tv, choose a plan, enter a payment method, and get full access for five days. If you cancel before the trial ends, you’re not charged anything. A separate extended trial — up to 30 days — has been available through Best Buy at select times. Always verify the current trial offer directly at fubo.tv before signing up, as trial lengths and availability change.
- 5 How much does Fubo actually cost per month? Fubo’s pricing changed significantly in 2025–2026 due to a carriage dispute with NBCUniversal and its subsequent resolution. As of June 2026, Fubo Pro costs $88.99/month — the price rose after NBC channels were restored to the service in June 2026. Before that restoration, it had been lowered to $73.99 during the dispute. There’s also a Sports + News plan at $64.99/month and an Elite plan above the Pro tier. Additionally, if you’re in a market with regional sports networks, a separate RSN surcharge of $4–$17 per month is added at checkout — not included in the advertised price.
- 6 What’s the difference between Fubo and Amazon Prime Video — are they competing services? They’re different types of services that happen to be available on the same devices. Amazon Prime Video is an on-demand library — movies, TV shows, Amazon Original series, and some live sports (Thursday Night Football, some soccer). Fubo is a live TV replacement for cable — it carries 200+ channels including ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS, ABC, local news, and regional sports networks streaming in real time. Prime Video has some live sports; Fubo is almost entirely built around live sports. Many households have both.
- 7 Does Fubo work on Amazon Fire TV devices? Yes — Fubo has a full app on Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick devices. You download the Fubo app from the Amazon Appstore on your Fire TV, sign in with your Fubo account (or create one), and watch on your television. The experience is seamless — you just have both the Prime Video app and the Fubo app on the same device. But your Fubo subscription is billed by Fubo, not Amazon. Using a Fire TV device doesn’t make Fubo cheaper or free — it just makes it convenient to access.
- 8 Did Fubo get its NBC channels back after the 2025 dispute? Yes — the Fubo-NBC dispute resolved on June 10, 2026, ending a seven-month blackout during which local NBC affiliates, Telemundo, Bravo, MSNBC, CNBC, Golf Channel, USA Network, and NBC Sports regional networks were all removed from Fubo. The channels are returning in phases — Telemundo and Universo came back immediately; English-language NBC channels are rolling out in the weeks following the agreement. If you canceled Fubo because of the NBC dispute, those channels are now back, though prices have also risen from the discounted dispute-era rates.
This question gets searched millions of times because there are real reasons it makes sense to wonder — Amazon’s ecosystem creates the impression that many streaming services might be bundled together. Here’s exactly what’s creating the confusion.
Amazon has built one of the world’s largest distribution platforms for other streaming services. If you browse Prime Video, you’ll find that services like Paramount+, AMC+, Starz, BritBox, and many others can be subscribed to and billed through your Amazon account. This “Prime Video Channels” model makes it feel like Amazon is a one-stop shop for all streaming. The logical extension of that impression is that more services might be included with Prime itself — but the distinction between “included free” and “available to add for a separate fee” is crucial. Fubo is neither — it’s not included and it’s not even available as an Amazon add-on.
Amazon Fire TV Sticks and Fire TV smart TVs are among the most popular streaming devices in the country. Fubo has a full-featured app in the Amazon Appstore that works beautifully on these devices. When you’re navigating your Fire TV home screen, you see Fubo sitting right alongside Prime Video, Netflix, and other apps. That proximity creates a subconscious association — everything on this screen is Amazon, so perhaps Fubo is somehow Amazon’s too. It’s not. Fubo on Fire TV is exactly like Netflix on Fire TV: an independent service that happens to have an app for the device.
Amazon’s free ad-supported streaming tier — previously called Amazon Freevee, now integrated into Prime Video as free content — does include the Fubo Sports Network channel. This is a real Fubo-branded channel with real sports content available at no charge through Amazon’s platform. For someone who notices they can watch “Fubo Sports Network” without paying, it’s a natural leap to wonder if more Fubo content is available for free through Amazon. The answer is no — Fubo Sports Network is a single limited ad-supported channel, not the full Fubo live TV service with 200+ channels, DVR, and live sports streaming.
Amazon Prime is a $139/year membership that includes: free two-day shipping on eligible products, Prime Video (Amazon’s own streaming library), Prime Music (Amazon’s music streaming), Amazon Photos (unlimited photo storage), Prime Gaming (free games and content), Prime Reading (a selection of ebooks), and various exclusive shopping deals. It does not include any live TV service whatsoever — no cable replacement, no live sports package, no access to Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or any similar service. Those are all independent subscriptions sold separately, regardless of what device you watch them on or how you discovered them.
Since Fubo isn’t free through Amazon Prime, the legitimate way to try it without paying is the free trial. Here’s exactly how it works, what the catches are, and how to cancel before you’re charged.
Fubo offers a 5-day free trial available to new subscribers at fubo.tv. During those five days, you get exactly the same access as a paying subscriber — all the live channels, cloud DVR, multi-stream viewing, and ESPN Unlimited included on your chosen plan. No restrictions. Here’s how to start and protect yourself:
- Go to fubo.tv on a web browser (not the Fire TV app — you can sign up on the web and then use the app)
- Choose your plan — pick the highest tier you want to test since the trial is the same length regardless
- Enter your payment information — a credit card is required but will not be charged during the trial
- Note the exact date and time your trial expires — Fubo displays this prominently and counts it down to the minute
- Set a calendar reminder for Day 4 if you plan to cancel — don’t trust yourself to remember on Day 5
- To cancel, go to fubo.tv in a browser, click your profile, select Account, scroll to the subscription section, and click Cancel Subscription — you cannot cancel from the TV app, only from a web browser
Best Buy has periodically partnered with Fubo to offer an extended 30-day free trial — significantly longer than the standard 5 days. This offer is not always available and may be limited to certain plan tiers or geographic areas. Check BestBuy.com and search for Fubo TV deal to see if the extended trial is currently active before signing up through fubo.tv directly. If the Best Buy extended trial is available, it functions the same way — full access for the trial period, then auto-converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel beforehand.
The free trial automatically converts to a paid monthly subscription the moment it ends. Fubo does not send you a warning email the day before it ends. If you’re going to cancel, you must do it yourself before the trial period expires. Canceling during the trial ends your access immediately — different from canceling a paid subscription, where you keep access until the billing period ends. If you want to evaluate the service for the full five days and then cancel, plan your cancellation for Day 4 or early Day 5, not the final hours. Many people who expected to cancel find themselves charged because they forgot, were traveling, or couldn’t reach the website easily.
Five days is a short window, but you can maximize it strategically. Plan your Fubo trial around a heavy sports weekend — an NFL playoff weekend, a college football bowl week, or a stretch with multiple major games across your favorite sports. Starting a Monday trial means you’re mostly watching weekday games through the week and the full trial includes two good weekend days. Starting a Wednesday or Thursday captures two full weekend days of peak sports programming. The Super Bowl, NBA playoffs, Masters golf week, and major soccer events are particularly worth timing a trial around if those line up. Fubo itself recommends starting with the priciest plan available, testing every feature, and then deciding whether to stay at a lower tier or full tier — since the trial is the same length regardless of which plan you choose.
Fubo’s pricing has had a turbulent 2025–2026 — a seven-month NBC carriage dispute caused prices to drop and channels to disappear, then prices rose again when the dispute resolved. Here are the current plans and what’s actually in each one.
Launched in September 2025, the Sports + News plan is Fubo’s attempt to serve sports fans who primarily want game coverage without paying for a full entertainment channel lineup. The channel count is dramatically smaller than the Pro plan — around 29 channels — but those channels cover the major sports networks: ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, and news channels like CNN and local network news. There’s no access to regional sports networks on this plan, which matters if you follow local NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL teams. Local RSN coverage requires the Pro plan plus the separate RSN fee in your market. The Sports + News plan is the right starting point for households that genuinely watch sports and almost nothing else, and don’t need HBO, FX, or lifestyle channels.
The Pro plan is the entry point for a full cable-replacement experience on Fubo. It carries 200+ channels including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Unlimited (the streaming-only ESPN channel), FS1, FS2, CBS, ABC, FOX, and a wide selection of entertainment, news, and lifestyle channels. Local NBC, Telemundo, and NBCUniversal channels — restored after the June 2026 resolution — are included on the Pro plan. The biggest price warning: the RSN fee. If you live in a major sports market and want to watch your local professional teams on regional sports networks like NBC Sports Bay Area, NBC Sports Boston, or similar, a separate mandatory surcharge appears at checkout — ranging from roughly $4 to $17 per month depending on your ZIP code. This fee doesn’t appear on the plan description page. Always enter your ZIP code at fubo.tv to see your actual total before subscribing. Fubo offers a first-month discount of approximately $25 off for new Pro subscribers.
The Elite plan bundles everything in Pro and adds more entertainment channels — movie networks, additional lifestyle channels, and additional sports coverage — while also building the RSN fee directly into the plan price. If you’re in a major sports market and were going to pay the RSN fee on the Pro plan anyway, the Elite plan’s all-in pricing can actually be quite close to what you’d spend on Pro plus RSN. The RSN-inclusive pricing makes Elite easier to budget — no surprise surcharge at checkout — and the expanded channel count suits larger households with diverse viewing habits where not everyone is watching sports. New Elite subscribers typically receive $30 off their first month, which softens the higher monthly commitment during evaluation.
Fubo Latino is Fubo’s most affordable plan and its lowest entry point, designed for households where Spanish-language programming is the priority. It carries Telemundo, Universo, beIN Sports en Español, ESPN Deportes, and a collection of other Spanish-language channels. Telemundo was restored to Fubo immediately when the NBC dispute resolved in June 2026 — and Telemundo carries exclusive Spanish-language rights to major events including the FIFA World Cup, which was the primary reason the timing of the NBC resolution mattered. For households where soccer is the main draw and Spanish-language programming is preferred, this is the most cost-effective Fubo plan by a significant margin — roughly a third of the Pro plan’s cost.
Even though Fubo isn’t included with Prime, there are real ways the two services interact — and knowing exactly what is and isn’t connected prevents both disappointment and wasted money.
- Fubo app on Fire TV: Download from the Amazon Appstore for free, sign in with your Fubo credentials (or create an account), and watch live TV on your television. Works on all Fire TV Stick models, Fire TV cubes, and Fire TV smart TVs. Full functionality — same as watching on any other device.
- Fubo Sports Network on Prime Video (free): A limited ad-supported Fubo-branded channel available through Amazon’s free streaming tier. Sports highlights and programming — not live TV, not the full Fubo service. Found in the “Free” section of Prime Video.
- Fubo partnership with Amazon’s Freevee select channels: Following Amazon’s 2025 partnership with Roku to expand free content on Fire TV, some Fubo free channel content became available without a subscription on Fire TV devices.
- Voice control via Alexa: If you have an Amazon Echo or use Alexa on your Fire TV, you can ask Alexa to “open Fubo” or launch the app by voice — but this just opens the Fubo app; it doesn’t give you free access.
- Fubo as a Prime Video Channel add-on — you cannot subscribe to Fubo through Amazon’s channel store
- Any Prime membership discount on Fubo — having Prime gives you $0 savings on a Fubo subscription
- Consolidated billing — Fubo charges your Fubo payment method, not your Amazon account
- Free access to Fubo’s live sports, live TV channels, or cloud DVR through any Amazon product
- Single sign-on — your Amazon account and Fubo account are completely separate; you can’t log into Fubo with your Amazon credentials
Many households use Fubo and Amazon Prime Video side by side — they genuinely complement each other rather than overlap significantly. The typical setup: Fubo handles live sports, local news, and live TV watching; Prime Video handles on-demand movies, Amazon Originals, and Thursday Night Football. On a Fire TV device, you switch between the two apps with the remote — Alexa voice control lets you say “watch the game on Fubo” or “play The Boys on Prime Video” without navigating menus. The two subscriptions run on separate billing cycles and can be managed or canceled independently. There’s no technical or financial advantage to having both — it’s just two separate services that happen to work well on the same device.
If you’re deciding whether to get Fubo, keep Prime Video, or find a different live TV service, this table shows what each covers and what each costs.

Prices current as of mid-2026. Fubo Pro price reflects the post-NBC-resolution pricing of $88.99/month, not the discounted dispute-era pricing. RSN fee for Fubo Pro not included — add $4–$17 depending on location. Verify all current pricing at each service’s website before subscribing. Hulu + Live TV pricing reflects the combined Hulu + Disney + ESPN bundle.
The answer genuinely depends on what you watch and what you’re willing to spend. Here’s a direct recommendation for the most common situations people are actually in when they search for Fubo and Amazon.
Fubo was built for you. The Pro plan gives you ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, ABC, FOX, CBS, and regional sports networks covering your local pro teams — the same sports lineup that used to require a cable subscription in the $150–$200/month range. Start with Fubo’s 5-day free trial and specifically use it to verify that your local RSN is included and that your regional team’s games appear live. Enter your ZIP code at fubo.tv before subscribing to see the exact RSN fee for your market. If your team’s regional network is included, Fubo is likely the best live sports streaming option outside of cable. If you’re primarily a soccer fan, check whether Fubo or Peacock better serves your leagues before committing.
You may not need Fubo at all. Prime Video already gives you an enormous on-demand library, Amazon Originals, and some live sports through your existing membership. If you rarely watch live TV or sports, Prime Video likely covers most of what you actually watch. The gap between Prime Video and Fubo is live TV — real-time broadcasts of news, sports, and network programming. If you’re fine catching things after the fact, on-demand is your natural fit. Consider adding a $17.99/month Peacock subscription or a $13.99/month Paramount+ for additional on-demand content rather than committing to Fubo’s $88.99/month live TV pricing.
For most cord-cutters, YouTube TV at $72.99/month is the better default choice compared to Fubo Pro — it includes all local channels (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), unlimited cloud DVR, live sports on ESPN and FS1, regional sports networks, and no surprise RSN fee at checkout. YouTube TV is consistently $16/month cheaper than Fubo Pro and includes channels that Fubo dropped or lost during carriage disputes. Fubo is the better choice if you specifically need ESPN Unlimited, the Fubo Sportsbook integration, or if you’re comparing during a promotional period where Fubo’s first-month discount makes it competitive. Try Fubo’s free trial first, then compare it directly against YouTube TV’s channel list for your market.
Fubo Latino at approximately $29.99/month is worth serious consideration. It carries Telemundo (just restored after the NBC dispute), Universo, beIN Sports en Español, ESPN Deportes, and other Spanish-language sports and entertainment channels. Telemundo carries FIFA World Cup exclusive Spanish-language rights — if that’s important to your household, Fubo Latino is the most cost-effective way to get it. For Spanish-speaking households that also want English-language sports, the full Fubo Pro plan gives you both sets of channels. For pure English-language soccer, Peacock (Premier League), Paramount+ (Champions League), and Apple TV+ (MLS) together may cover more soccer at similar or lower total cost than Fubo Pro.
A Fire TV Stick is all you need. Fubo works perfectly on every generation of Fire TV Stick — download the Fubo app from the Appstore, sign in, and you’re watching live TV on your television. The Fire TV remote or Alexa voice control both work. One important tip: sign up for your Fubo account through a web browser first (fubo.tv on a computer or phone), rather than trying to create an account through the Fire TV app. Billing through the Fire TV app may route through Amazon and add a markup. Signing up directly at fubo.tv gives you the promotional pricing, first-month discount, and direct billing without any platform intermediary markup. Once the account exists, log into it on the Fire TV app and you’re set.
You lose access immediately when you cancel during the trial — this is different from canceling a paid subscription. During the trial, you get access to the days you’ve actually used; canceling cuts access right away rather than allowing you to continue through your prepaid period. This is standard practice for free trials across the streaming industry. If you’re on Day 3 of 5 and decide Fubo isn’t for you, cancel on Day 3 and access stops that day. To get the full value of a 5-day trial, use it fully for all five days and cancel shortly before it would expire — not when you’ve decided it’s not for you.
Yes — the Fubo-NBCUniversal carriage dispute officially resolved on June 10, 2026, ending a seven-month blackout. Telemundo and Universo came back immediately on June 10. English-language NBC affiliates, Bravo, MSNBC, CNBC, Golf Channel, Syfy, USA Network, E!, and NBC Sports regional networks are being restored in phases in the weeks following. The resolution was timed to coincide with the FIFA World Cup broadcast on Telemundo. The deal was struck after Fubo accused NBCUniversal of discriminatory practices — specifically allowing YouTube TV and Amazon Prime Video to integrate Peacock directly into their platforms while refusing Fubo the same terms. If you canceled Fubo during the NBC dispute, those channels are available again.
The Regional Sports Network (RSN) fee is a mandatory additional charge on the Fubo Pro plan for subscribers in markets where RSN coverage is available. It covers local professional sports team broadcasts on channels like NBC Sports Bay Area, NBC Sports Boston, and similar regional networks. The fee ranges from approximately $4 to $17 per month depending on your ZIP code and the RSN coverage in your area. It does not appear on Fubo’s plan comparison pages or advertising — it only surfaces at checkout when you enter your billing address. This is a widely criticized practice. To find your exact RSN fee before committing, go to fubo.tv, click to start a subscription, enter your ZIP code on the checkout page, and look at the itemized total. The Elite plan includes the RSN fee in its base price, making its all-in total more predictable than the Pro plan’s split pricing.
Yes — Fubo Sports Network is available through Amazon’s free streaming tier on Fire TV. You don’t need a paid Fubo subscription to access it. On your Fire TV, go to the Prime Video app, navigate to the “Free” section (or search for “Fubo Sports Network”), and you’ll find it as an ad-supported free channel. The content is limited — primarily sports highlights, replays, and some original programming — and bears no resemblance to the live sports experience of a Fubo subscription. Think of it as a promotional preview channel rather than actual Fubo access. It’s genuinely free, genuinely has some sports content, but will not satisfy anyone who wants to watch live games.
For a household where live sports coverage is limited to local teams and major network events, this combination is genuinely worth considering. A $25–$35 TV antenna installed in a window or attic gives you free local ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and PBS broadcasts over the public airwaves in most U.S. markets — the same local channels that Fubo charges you $88.99/month to carry. Combined with Amazon Prime Video, you get live local TV for free plus a strong on-demand library for $139/year. The gap: no ESPN, no FS1, no cable sports channels, no cloud DVR. If the games you care about most air on local broadcast channels (most NFL regular season games, many college football games, major sporting events), the antenna-plus-Prime setup covers a surprising amount of what Fubo offers at a fraction of the ongoing cost. The Fubo subscription makes more sense when ESPN and regional sports networks are essential to your household’s viewing.
