Yes, Fubo has a free trial on some plans, and it's only for new customers. Fubo says you need a credit or debit card to start it, the length can vary, and you'll see your exact end date and time at checkout. When the trial ends, it moves onto a full plan automatically unless you cancel.
The rule that matters most is how you cancel. Fubo's own policy says that if you signed up on its website and cancel during the trial, you lose access immediately. If you signed up through Roku, you keep watching until the trial ends. Here's how the whole thing works.
Who can get a Fubo free trial
- New customers only. Fubo says former customers can't start another free trial.
- Some plans only. Fubo says some plans include a free trial and plan availability can change, so check the plan you want before checkout.
- A card on file. You'll need a credit or debit card to activate the trial.
If you got a message with a special Fubo offer, use the link in that message. Fubo says that if you go to the site another way, the offer won't be applied.
How long is the Fubo free trial?
Fubo doesn't promise a fixed number of days. Its help page says the length of free trials can vary, and asks you to confirm the length before you finish checkout. You can see it in two places:
- During sign-up: a notice at the top of the checkout page tells you the date and time your free trial ends.
- After you start: go to fubo.tv, select the Settings icon, then My Account. Fubo shows the days left on your trial on any account page.
Write that date down. It's the date your full plan starts.
The cancellation catch
Fubo's cancellation policy treats trials differently depending on where you signed up:
| Where you signed up | If you cancel during the trial |
|---|---|
| Fubo website or Fubo's sign-up team | Your trial ends immediately and you lose access |
| Roku account or Roku device | Your trial ends at the end of the free trial period |
| A full plan, after the trial | You keep access to the end of your current cycle |
So on the website, cancelling early gives away the rest of your trial days. If you want the full trial, decide near the end and cancel then. If you signed up through Roku, Fubo says you manage it in your Roku.com account rather than on Fubo's site.
How to start the trial
- Go to fubo.tv/signup, or use the link from any offer message you received.
- Create your account with an email address, a password and the ZIP code where you'll watch. Fubo uses the ZIP code for your local channels.
- Choose your plan and check whether it shows a free trial.
- Enter your card details, check the trial end date at the top of the page, then complete checkout.
- Try any add-ons you're interested in before the trial ends.
If you're verifying your email, Fubo says the codes expire after 60 minutes, so finish sign-up in one go.
Promotional offers can lock you in
Most Fubo plans don't have cancellation penalties, according to its policy. But Fubo also says that if you sign up for a promotional offer with a commitment period, an early cancellation penalty may apply if you leave before that period ends. Read the offer terms before you accept anything that isn't the standard trial.
Fubo Free after you leave
Here's a detail most guides miss. Fubo Free gives select former customers more than 170 free ad-supported channels, live and on demand, without a plan. Fubo says it's open to some people whose plan or free trial has expired, on select devices. It isn't available on Roku or Samsung TV devices yet. To check, log back in at fubo.tv once your trial has expired and look for the option to go to free content.
Signing up through Roku
If you start Fubo on a Roku, Fubo says you sign up with your Roku.com account through Roku's in-app sign-up, and the free trial there is for new customers only. You then manage the plan in your Roku.com account. Fubo also notes that only some of its plans are offered through Roku, and some may not include a free trial, so check the plan details on screen before you enter your Roku PIN.
The upside, as above, is that cancelling a Roku-started trial keeps your access until the trial ends.

I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.
Is the Fubo free trial worth it?
Yes, if you want to test live sports and local channels before committing, and your chosen plan shows a trial at checkout. Plan the trial around a weekend of games you care about. If you're comparing services, my guide to watching sports on YouTube TV shows how a rival handles it, and here's how location affects your local channels on YouTube TV.
My verdict: note the end date at checkout, don't cancel on the website until the last day if you want every trial day, and check Fubo Free afterwards if you're a former customer.
