The only other places that sports fans are able to stream the Bally Sports RSNs are DIRECTV STREAM - which is increasing its prices to $99.99 per month in January - and Sinclair’s direct-to-consumer streamer Bally Sports+. “Fubo has been a great partner, and we are excited to continue to grow our relationship to serve our collective viewers.” “FuboTV has long been associated with connecting sports fans to their favorite teams and we are thrilled to be expanding our partnership to include the Bally Sports regional sports networks across their platform, providing Fubo’s subscribers with streaming access to their favorite hometown Bally Sports teams,” Sinclair SVP Will Bell said. Sinclair controls 20% of YES, but is not the majority owner. However, this new agreement with SBG does not seem to include the YES Network which covers the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Liberty. These additions will bring Fubo’s sports offerings to more than 50,000 live sporting events annually - with many streaming in 4K - from RSNs, local broadcast networks, and national sports networks ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, the Pac-12 Network, and more. With the addition of the Bally Sports RSNs, fuboTV will offer fans over 35 sports networks in its portfolio, with most being available on its base channel package (Pro). We’re looking forward to bringing the Bally Sports RSNs to Fubo subscribers in the coming weeks.” Sinclair has been a great partner and we’re pleased that we were able to work together well to get a deal done that is meaningful and beneficial for both sides.
“We are very pleased to bring Fubo subscribers significant local sports coverage through our new partnership with Bally Sports, the nation’s leader in local sports rights. “RSNs are integral to FuboTV’s sports-first content strategy and our mission to superserve local passionate sports fans,” Fubo’s chief business officer Henry Ahn said.
In markets in which fuboTV was not already offering an RSN, it will inevitably add the fee to all customers in those regions as well.
In its announcement, Fubo had not indicated what these additions would do to customers’ bills, but in most markets where the service already has RSNs, it charges an $8.99+ per month RSN fee, which is likely to increase with the introduction of the Bally Sports networks. “These RSNs will also be in the base Pro plan,” the rep said. A spokesperson confirmed to The Streamable that the channels would be available to all customers as part of the service’s base subscription option, which currently costs $69.99 per month.
