As part of the integration, brands can tap into multi-platform sponsorship opportunities such as home screen takeovers, interactive CTV ads and custom branded video content produced by The Athletic’s award-winning T Brand Studio.

In addition to the video hub on Fubo’s virtual MVPD (vMVPD) platform, select video content from The Athletic will stream on Fubo Sports Network, Fubo’s owned-and-operated FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) channel.
