FuboTV Teams Up with European League of Football for Streaming
FuboTV has made a significant leap into the European sports landscape by announcing a multi-year agreement with the European League of Football (ELF). This partnership marks an exciting development for both Fubo and ELF, paving the way for greater exposure of American football across Europe and into the North American market.
What’s in Store for Fans?
Starting with the upcoming 2025 season on May 17, Fubo Sports will deliver one live ELF game each Sunday from iconic European venues. Fans will not just get to enjoy regular-season games; they will also have access to five playoff games. But that’s not all—Fubo subscribers can indulge in on-demand ELF content, including game highlights and a curated selection of the league’s top ten greatest all-time moments.
The Reach of the European League of Football
The European League of Football has quickly established itself as one of the most prominent football leagues outside the U.S. With 16 franchises spanning nine European nations, the ELF showcases talent from an incredible 45 countries. This diversity not only enriches the playing field but also brings a unique flavor to the American football experience.
By teaming up with Fubo Sports, ELF is poised to extend its reach into North America, tapping into over 100 U.S. markets through major FAST platforms and over-the-air (OTA) stations. This relationship promises to elevate the league’s visibility, making it easier for fans to tune in and experience the excitement.
The Future of Sports Viewing
In recent years, sports fans have increasingly shifted towards ad-supported platforms to consume content, and this partnership comes at a perfect time. According to Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Studios, fans are eager for both established leagues and emerging properties. The ELF partnership allows Fubo Sports audiences to enjoy a classic game of American football with a refreshing twist that reflects the league’s international characteristics.
“It’s an exhilarating opportunity for fans, and we can’t wait to bring the action to audiences in the U.S. all season long,” says Duckworth.
CEO Perspectives
Zeljko Karajica, CEO of ELF, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, as it marks a significant step in expanding the league’s presence in North America. “We are very excited to expand our footprint in North America together with our new partner Fubo Sports,” he stated. This collaboration not only aims to raise awareness but also aims to foster a genuine appreciation for the league across a new audience.
