FuboTV Inc. and The Athletic today launched The Athletic Video Hub on Fubo, carrying the sports publisher's video library to connected television for the first time and creating a new sponsorship surface for brands buying against premium sports editorial. The hub expands a multi-year partnership under which Fubo was named the official live TV streaming partner of The Athletic.
The announcement, dated July 23, 2026, and issued from New York, describes a proprietary video hub built around a clickable content carousel that routes viewers into The Athletic's video coverage across a range of sports. According to Fubo, the hub is designed for sports fan engagement, with navigation structured so that audiences reach the publisher's catalogue from a single entry point rather than hunting through a general on-demand library.
For a subscription publisher that has spent a decade building an audience on written journalism, the move places its video output on the largest screen in the house. For media buyers, it adds a defined block of premium sports editorial inventory inside a virtual MVPD environment – and it arrives with a sponsorship menu attached.
What the hub carries
The press release specifies three content tiers now available onย Fubo.
Full-length episodes of The Athletic's flagship shows form the first tier. Six are named: The Athletic Football Show, The Sports Gossip Show, Rates & Barrels, NBA Daily, The Tennis Podcast and No Offseason. These titles span American football, general sports commentary, baseball, basketball and tennis – a spread that matters for advertisers seeking category adjacency rather than blanket sports reach.
Short-form commentary and analysis constitutes the second tier. According to the announcement, this includes game and season previews, x's and o's breakdowns, and picks segments. The third tier covers major moment highlights: real-time reactions and analysis built around significant events in sports.
