FuboTV reached 5.75 million total subscribers during the third quarter, an increase from 5.63 million customers in the year-ago period and 5.73 million subscribers in the most recent second quarter, it was announced on Wednesday.

The overall subscriber base now represents customers for Fubo‘s live TV streaming services, including Fubo and Hulu + Live TV, after closing a merger deal with Disney. With CEO Alisa Bowen now in the post following the completion of the Disney transaction, Fubo posted overall revenue at $1.48 billion, against $1.07 billion in the third quarter of 2025.

With the reveal of its latest financial results partly on a pro forma basis after closing Disney’s Hulu merger, the pro forma revenue came to $1.48 billion during the latest quarter. After streaming the recent World Cup soccer tournament, Fubo trimmed its net loss to $25.7 million, against a year-earlier net loss at $38 million. On a pro forma basis, the third quarter net loss rose to $72 million.

The adjusted EBITDA at $19.1 million compared to pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $31 million in the year-ago third quarter. Fubo said it had 5.75 million North American subscribers after the latest quarter, compared to 5.63 million in the second quarter of 2025.

CEO Bowen during her first analyst call argued live event programming remained “a must-have” for TV viewers, despite an increasingly competitive live TV streaming market. “Altogether these strengths give us an opportunity to compete more effectively and deliver an increasingly differentiated experience for subscribers,” Bowen, who left as president of Disney+ to succeed David Gandler and take the top Fubo post, added.

On that theme, Bowen, while warning of “some attrition” of subscribers following the FIFA World Cup and the NBA Finals, pointed to those high profile events helping sign up new customers during the latest quarter. Bowen added continued growth at Fubo after the business combination with Hulu + Live TV would come from new pricing and packaging changes, expanding content offers, striking new distribution and marketing partnerships, especially with Disney, and continuing to invest in new technologies and AI to bolster the streamer’s user experience.

She argued Fubo and Hulu + Live TV, while both have distinct brands and subscriber bases, together will be an advantage for growth going forward, rather than a challenge. “Having both in the market and being able to operate that as a portfolio of offers give us the best chance of continuing to grow and reach as many consumers as possible,” Bowen told analysts.

She also discussed a possible Major League Baseball work stoppage, saying it was too early to speculate about any particular impacts on the Fubo offering and business. “Our focus in terms of mitigating any risk from that or any other content disruption is really to focus on having the most diversified content portfolio we can across both news, sports and entertainment,” Bowen told analysts.
