Zinger Key Points

FuboTV Inc. FUBO has secured a multi-year deal to maintain its exclusive streaming rights for the English Premier League in Canada.

The sports-focused live television platform confirmed it will continue to stream every Premier League match, starting with the 2025/2026 season, under the renewed agreement.

Fubo initially acquired the exclusive Canadian rights to the Premier League in 2022. The renewal strengthens the streamer's foothold in the soccer content space, where it already carries multiple high-profile leagues and tournaments across Europe and the Americas.

“The Premier League is considered the most prestigious soccer league globally and we are proud to remain the exclusive home of this elite competition in Canada,” said Ben Grad, senior VP of strategic partnerships and operations.

“Fubo was founded with the mission to stream premium soccer and a range of sports for consumers, and we’ve built a strong audience by carrying leagues that Canadians are passionate about.”

“The Premier League has many passionate fans in Canada, and Fubo does an excellent job making the competition available to them. We look forward to working together over the coming seasons as we continue to showcase the excitement of the league to both new and existing fans,” said Paul Molnar, chief media officer at the Premier League.

Fubo also offers coverage of a wide range of sports. In Canada, its programming slate also includes action from the NBA, MLB, NHL, and IPL cricket league.

Subscribers gain access to over 100 live channels spanning sports, news, and entertainment.

Fubo's service is optimized for accessibility, allowing users to stream content through web browsers or a variety of devices including Amazon Fire TV, Android, Apple TV, Chromecast, Roku, LG TV, Samsung, Xbox One, and more.
