Fubo Essential Plan

A relatively new option from Fubo, the Essential plan is simply the Pro plan minus local Regional Sports Networks (RSNs). Depending on your location in the U.S., you could have access to anywhere from one to six RSNs. If you don't dig sports or don't have any RSNs in your area anyway, choose this plan before Pro and save $-11/mo.

The Essential package includes 202 channels for $49.99/mo. That's the promotional price for one month. Thereafter, the price increases to $59.99/mo (not a small jump but still a solid value). Let's dig into more details...

As mentioned, Essential doesn't include any regional sports. Some of those potentially NOT included: Altitude Sports, FanDuel Sports [regional], MASN, MSG, ROOT Sports and YES. In most zip codes in the U.S., you'll get access to 1-3 of those to watch your local MLB, NBA or NFL teams.

Keep in mind you still get full access to all regular (non sports) local channels: ABC, CBS, Fox, etc. So, you'll still get all the local and national sports via those channels.

PERFECT FOR: folks that want a bunch of programming with no RSNs...

Essential Plan: Costs, (hidden) fees and taxes

In general, Fubo is pretty good about tacking on extra fees. As a matter of fact, with this plan, there's only one extra fee and it's simply for taxes. Depending on your state or county, it tends to be a couple extra dollars a month.

Fubo TV fees

The big upside with Essential is no regional sports fee (which can be up to$ 13/mo). So, for non sports fan, that's a nice savings, even if/when RSN fees go up in the future.

Regarding discounts, Fubo is currently running a special that saves you $20 a month for 1 month. Remember, it only starts after your 5-day free trial. Plenty of time to figure things out before you fully dive in.

How's you first month's bill gonna look? With Essential, there are no up-front costs when you sign-up. Here's what to expect:
