‘Sports on Tubi’ beefs up channel lineup with MLB, NFL deals

Tubi and Fox Sports have teamed up to launch “Sports on Tubi,” which will feature 10 live streaming channels from partners including the NFL and MLB.

The new streaming section—which is rolling out now across Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Android—will also include 700 hours of VOD content. Tubi said that Applebee’s and Uber Eats have signed on as inaugural partners for “Sports on Tubi,” which now includes linear content from Fox Sports, Fox Deportes, NFL, MLB, beIN Sports Xtra and beIN Sports Xtra en Español, Fubo Sports Network, Pac-12 Insider, Stadium and USA Today SportsWire. ACC Digital Network, Real Madrid TV and more channels will be added next year.

The addition of the NFL Channel on Tubi comes after earlier this year Fox reached a renewal deal with the league that included a programming agreement for Tubi, though it doesn’t appear that Tubi will be airing any live NFL games.

Tubi said that the MLB on Tubi will feature the “MLB FastCast” daily show, as well as classic baseball games, highlights, historic World Series games and All-Star Games.
