NBCUniversal networks are back on Fubo TV, thanks to a new distribution agreement.
· NBCU networks went dark on Fubo on November 21, 2025, when the two sides couldn’t reach a carriage deal. The blackout included all NBC local broadcast affiliates, cable channels, and the spinoff Versant channels.
· Fubo claimed NBCU’s terms for pricing and packaging were “egregiously above” terms offered to other distributors, while NBCU said it had offered the same terms agreed to by hundreds of other distributors.
· Fubo customers can now stream NBCU’s Spanish-language networks, Telemundo and Universo, with NBCUniversal’s English-language networks, regional sports networks (RSNs) and new FAST channels, set to launch in the coming weeks.
· The Takeaway: The new deal is another sign that programmers and virtual MVPDs are finding their footing on pricing and packaging — but carriage fights remain a real friction point as legacy networks push to maintain distribution leverage while streaming bundles compete for subscribers.
