Tubi to Stream Super Bowl for Free in Strategic Move by Fox
Fox-owned Tubi aims to boost its credibility as a premium free streaming service by broadcasting the Super Bowl alongside exclusive programming.
- Tubi, Fox's free ad-supported streaming service, will simulcast the Super Bowl in 4K without requiring account setup or payment.
- This marks Tubi's first time streaming the Super Bowl, featuring both the main Fox broadcast and a Spanish-language feed from Fox Deportes.
- The platform is also offering exclusive pre-game content, including a celebrity-focused red carpet show hosted by Olivia Culpo, to attract non-sports fans.
- Tubi has seen rapid growth, reaching 97 million monthly active users, and aims to use the Super Bowl to solidify its reputation as a destination for premium entertainment.
- Fox's strategy with Tubi contrasts with competitors by focusing on free, ad-supported streaming rather than subscription-based models, though Tubi remains unprofitable.
