Fubo has dropped all NBCUniversal networks after the two sides failed to reach a new carriage deal by a 5 p.m ET deadline on Friday.
A Fubo spokesperson told TheWrap that it has been engaged in “good faith negotiations” to renew its deal with NBCU and that it “believes customers should have the option to choose among multiple distributors to access the content they love.”
“Unfortunately, NBCU has offered terms regarding pricing and packaging that we believe are egregiously above those offered to other distributors our size,” the spokesperson continued. “Additionally, NBCU will not allow Peacock to be ingested into the Fubo Channel Store despite giving this access to other channel stores. As a result, all NBCU networks have left Fubo as of 5 p.m. ET on November 21, 2025.”
NBCUniversal says it offered Fubo “fair rates and terms” for its portfolio of entertainment and sports content that have been accepted by “hundreds of other distributors,” including Hulu + Live TV.
“Fubo has chosen to drop NBCUniversal programming despite being offered the same terms agreed to by hundreds of other distributors,” a spokesperson for the media giant told TheWrap. “Unfortunately, this is par for the course for Fubo — they’ve dropped numerous networks in recent years at the expense of their customers, who continue to lose content.”

Fubo, which has a total of 1.63 million subscribers in North America, has said it will provide a $15 credit on their next billing cycle in the event NBCU’s content remains off the service for an “extended period of time.” It also said that any cloud DVR recordings of NBCU programming will remain on subscribers’ accounts until they expire or are deleted.
In addition to operating as a standalone platform, the service recently merged with Hulu + Live TV to create a combined entity with nearly 6 million North American subscribers. Disney owns a 70% interest in the combined company, while Fubo shareholders retain the remaining 30%.
The dispute with Fubo comes on the heels of NBCUniversal striking a new carriage deal with Google in October in order to avoid a blackout on YouTube TV. Previous programming blackouts for Fubo in recent years include TelevisaUnivision, Discovery and SportsNet New York in 2024; Sinclair, Nexstar, Gray, Scripps, Hearst and Cox Media owned-CBS affiliates and AMC Networks in 2023; and A&E Networks in 2021.
