After adding entertainment programming to its content offer, fuboTV has gone back to its core sport market to add NHL Network, MLB Network and MLB Network Strike Zone to the live TV streaming service’s channel line-up.

The deals mean that fuboTV now offers every professional sports league network in the US. NHL Network and MLB Network feature live games, Emmy Award-winning studio shows, original programming, extensive on-site coverage at signature events, highlights and analysis. MLB Network Strike Zone features commercial-free, up-to-the-minute live look-ins, highlights and updates, when live game telecasts air on MLB Network on Tuesday and Friday nights during Major League Baseball’s regular season.

Effective immediately, new fuboTV subscribers can receive NHL Network when they subscribe to either the fubo Extra or Sports Plus packages. In the coming weeks, MLB Network will be added to both packages, and MLB Network Strike Zone will be available in the Sports Plus package.

NHL Network’s daily studio shows NHL Now, NHL Tonight and On The Fly provide in-depth news and analysis, plus NHL Network will air four live games. With Major League Baseball’s Opening Day less than three weeks away, MLB Network’s regular season studio programming line-up will return, with MLB Central, High Heat with Christopher Russo, The Rundown, MLB Now, Intentional Talk, MLB Tonight and Quick Pitch. In addition to its studio programming, MLB Network will televise live games at least five days a week during the first month of the regular season.

“Our sports line-up just got even better with the additions of NHL Network, MLB Network and MLB Network Strike Zone,” said Ben Grad, head of content strategy and acquisition, fuboTV. “With these networks, as well as NBA TV and NFL Network plus dozens of channels offering national, regional and local sports coverage, fuboTV leads other virtual MVPDs as the home of pro sports. Increasing our sports programming - alongside our industry leading news and entertainment line-up - underscores fuboTV’s leading position as a cable TV replacement for the entire family.”
