In addition to CBS Television Network, the agreement covers CBS Sports Network, The CW, Pop and CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 digital streaming news service. CBS Television Network, CBS Sports Network, The CW, Pop and CBSN will be added in the coming weeks to the Fubo Premier package, bringing its lineup to more than 60 channels. All networks covered in the deal will be available to stream live, with much of their programming accessible on demand as well through fuboTV’s entry-level Fubo Premier bundle. The multichannel, live TV streaming service will also allow subscribers to stream CBS-owned TV stations in some of the largest U.S. markets at launch. Later this summer, customers will be able to stream CBS-owned The CW affiliates.

Additionally, Showtime will be offered as an add-on, premium subscription service for customers who subscribe to Fubo Premier. At launch, consumers will have access to the Showtime East and West feeds and thousands of hours of programming on demand. This includes entire seasons of original series such as Homeland, Billions, Twin Peaks, Ray Donovan, The Affair and Shameless, along with hundreds of hit movies, comedy specials, documentaries and sports programming, including Inside the NFL, Showtime Championship Boxing and more.

CBS’s sports programming, including The NFL on CBS (all pre-season, regular and post-season games broadcast on CBS), Thursday Night Football, the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, SEC on CBS and the network’s golf schedule, as well as its news programs, including 60 Minutes, will be offered on the live service. In addition, subscribers will have access to specials, annual live events such as The Grammys, and late-night programming like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Subscribers to Fubo Premier will also have live and on-demand access to prime-time programming, including The Big Bang Theory and NCIS. Subscribers will also be able to stream new shows such as Bull and Kevin Can Wait.
