The moves underscore an increasingly crowded and turbulent television market for local professional sports teams and their media rights.
Fubo TV has added to its offering of regional sports networks — or pay TV channels built around live local sports — in time for the 2026 Major League Baseball season.
The premier sports broadcasting company has unveiled an agreement with Spectrum SportsNet LA, the television home for Los Angeles Dodgers games, to carry all of the MLB team’s games, including pre- and post-game shows and exclusive content. Fubo also signed a separate broadcast deal with the Atlanta Braves and BravesVision to broadcast Atlanta’s home team games, starting with the Opening Day game on March 27.
Fubo’s latest lineup deals come as the teams behind the RSNs continue to eye streaming platform options, as the traditional pay-TV package — where RSNs are bundled into basic cable packages and subscribers pay for the channel — continues to decline amid cord cuts. This has led to a significant decline in revenues for professional sports teams.
The future of RSNs is also up for grabs in an increasingly crowded and turbulent television market for local professional sports teams and their media rights, with MLB teams leaving FanDuel Sports Network, owned by Main Street Sports Group, and Major League Baseball taking over broadcast rights for member clubs.
Fubo also said it has reached a new agreement with SportsNet New York to return New York Mets games to the streamer after a dispute over carriage. Under this agreement, Fubo offers three New York-based RSNs: MSG, the New York Yankees’ YES Network SportsNet New York.
And for fans and superfans who don’t live in the local TV market for their favorite teams, Fubo also offers Major League Baseball coverage across MLB.TV, MLB Network, MLB Strike Zone, local broadcast networks and national sports networks ESPN and FS1.
