Fubo TV is poised to launch a new "skinny" sports streaming service, a focused offering at a lower price that comes with 20-plus sports and broadcast networks featuring both national and local pro and college team coverage — including ESPN Unlimited.
Fubo's new standalone subscription will be known as Fubo Sports. The new plan is due to launch on Tuesday, September 2, and will be priced at $45.99 for the first month, rising to $55.99/month after that.
That's a pretty steep discount to Fubo's other plans. Pro costs $84.99/month for 244 channels, Elite With Sports Plus ($104.99/month, 324 channels), and Deluxe ($114.99/month, 338 channels). ESPN Unlimited on its own costs $29.99/month.
In addition to live broadcast networks, Fubo Sports will also come with on-demand video, unlimited DVR and Family Share functionality.

Of the launch, Fubo co-founder and CEO David Gandler said, "At Fubo, we have always believed a streaming service must provide consumers with multiple, flexible and more affordable content options - and that consumers should be able to subscribe to the content they choose.
"The launch of Fubo Sports will add another content tier to our broad portfolio, super-serving passionate sports fans. With our signature pay TV streaming service alongside standalone sports offerings, Pay-Per-View live events and now Fubo Sports, we will continue to offer consumers multiple competitively-priced content options within the Fubo ecosystem, free of friction."
This move comes just after the launch of two new streaming services, ESPN Unlimited and Fox One, the direct-to-consumer streaming service that offers live and on-demand access to Fox's entire streaming lineup for $19.99 a month or $199.99 a year.
Fox One is also available in a streaming bundle with ESPN Unlimited starting October 2. This bundle combines Fox One and ESPN Unlimited for just $39.99 per month (saving you $10/month versus subscribing to each service separately).
