When Will Fubo Get the NBC Channels Back?

TV Answer Man, I am a Fubo subscriber and we haven’t had the NBC channels for months. Will they ever come back? – Name and town withheld.

I understand your frustration. Fubo, the live streaming service, has been missing roughly three dozen paid and free NBC channels due to a carriage dispute since November 21, 2025.

Fubo is also keenly aware of the negative impact of the dispute. The streamer has lowered the price of its base Pro plan from $84.99 a month to $73.99 a month for new subscribers. Fubo also reduced its Elite plan from $94.99 a month to $83.99 a month for new subscribers.

And for existing subscribers, Fubo has applied a $15 credit to their monthly bill for the loss of the NBC channels.

But the reduced sub prices, and credit, is cold comfort for anyone who regularly watches the NBC channels. They want their programming back!

The good news is that, in my humble opinion, the impasse will soon reach a tipping point. NBC next month will air both the 2026 Winter Olympics and the 2026 Super Bowl. I can’t envision any scenario in which Fubo allows the NBC blackout to continue during those events.

So, I predict that Fubo and NBC will settle shortly before the first week of the Olympics (the games start on February 6.)

Until then, despite the lower prices and credit, Fubo saves some money by not paying carriage fees to NBC during the blackout. My guess is that it will extend the dispute until about February 1 to maximize those savings.

The paid NBC channels now missing on Fubo are:

• NBC
• MSNBC
• USA
• Bravo
• Golf
• CNBC
• Oxygen True Crime
• E!
• Cozi
• SYFY

• American Crimes
• Telemundo
• NBC Sports Philadelphia
• NBC News NOW
• NBC Sports Bay Area
• NBC Sports Boston
• NBC Sports California
• UNIVERSO
• NBC Sports in 4K
