How FuboTV billing works
FuboTV is a live TV and sports streaming service, billed as a prepaid monthly subscription.
- Monthly auto-charge to your registered payment method
- No contracts; cancel any time through account settings
- Add-on packages (additional sports networks, Spanish-language tiers, premium channels) are billed alongside the base subscription

What happens when payment fails
- Payment fails: FuboTV retries the charge for several days and emails you
- Continued failure: Streaming access — including live TV, DVR playback, and on-demand — stops at the end of the paid period
- Extended non-payment: Account may be canceled
- No late fee is charged because FuboTV is prepaid
Restoring service
To restore FuboTV after suspension:
- Log in at fubo.tv
- Update payment method in account settings
- Successful payment reactivates streaming immediately
Your DVR recordings and watchlist are typically preserved while the account remains active, but extended lapses can result in DVR retention loss.
Credit reporting
FuboTV does not report missed payments to credit bureaus. Because FuboTV is a month-to-month prepaid subscription, there is no past-due balance to report and no collections action.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose my FuboTV DVR recordings if I’m suspended? DVR recordings have a retention window (typically up to a year on the FuboTV Cloud DVR, subject to your plan). Restoring service within the retention window typically preserves recordings, but extended lapses can result in loss of stored content.
Can I pause FuboTV without canceling? FuboTV typically allows you to pause your account for a defined period (up to a few months) through account settings. Pausing avoids charges while preserving your settings and DVR.
What happens to my sports add-ons if my base FuboTV plan lapses? Add-ons are part of the same billing relationship. A failed payment affects the entire subscription, including add-ons. Restoring service restores all add-ons that were active before the lapse.
