For years, Fubo, a sports\-centric vMVPD \(virtual multichannel video programming distributor, which lets subscribers watch traditional TV channels live over the Internet\), offered NBCUniversal channels\. That stopped in November 2025 due to a contract dispute\. With the loss of local NBC affiliates, Telemundo, nine regional sports channels, and 32 national channels, Fubo made the sensible but rare decision[to lower subscription prices in December](https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/12/fubo-lowers-its-prices-by-up-to-15-after-losing-nbcuniversal-channels/)\. The Essential plan went from $85 per month to $74 per month\. The Pro plan dropped from $85 to $75 per month, and the Elite plan dropped from $95 to $84 per month\. But now that Fubo has a new deal with NBCUniversal, all monthly subscription prices are going up by $15\. That makes today’s prices higher than they were before the NBCUniversal blackout\. Even worse, Fubo didn’t get back all of the channels that it had pre\-blackout\. Fubo is restoring access to NBC affiliates, Telemundo, regional sports channels, Bravo, Cozi, NBC News NOW, Universo, True CRMZ, and NBCSN\. However, Fubo subscribers still can’t watch nine cable channels that NBCUniversal spun off into the company Versant in January\. That includes CNBC, SYFY, USA Network, E\!, and MS NOW \(formerly MSNBC\)\. “The rising cost of bringing you the programming you enjoy means that, unfortunately, we need to pass some of these increases on to you,” Fubo says in an email sent to subscribers and on an online support page\. Users have reported receiving notice of the price changes[recently](https://www.reddit.com/r/fuboTV/comments/1uyous8/nbc_is_coming_back_to_fubo_rates_increasing_by/#lightbox)as Fubo rolls the channels out to subscribers\.
