Insights
Fubo's new agreement with Rangers Sports Network represents a strategic expansion of its MLB content portfolio, giving subscribers access to all available Texas Rangers games plus pre- and post-game coverage across five states. This dual carriage and sponsorship deal strengthens Fubo's position in the competitive sports streaming landscape in several ways.
The agreement delivers three key business advantages: First, it enhances Fubo's value proposition as the "streaming leader in Major League Baseball coverage" by adding exclusive regional content. Second, it creates new revenue opportunities through a standalone subscription option that can be added to Fubo Free or Latino plans. Third, it includes valuable brand exposure via stadium signage behind home plate at Globe Life Field.
This partnership aligns perfectly with Fubo's differentiation strategy in the crowded streaming market. While competitors like YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV offer broad content, Fubo continues doubling down on its sports-first identity with targeted regional sports acquisitions. The Rangers deal follows Fubo's pattern of prioritizing regional sports networks that larger streaming platforms often neglect due to high carriage fees.
For subscribers in the covered markets, this eliminates a significant content gap, as regional sports have been challenging to access in the streaming era. The timing is also opportune, coming just before the MLB season when baseball fans are making viewing decisions. While financial terms weren't disclosed, the deal likely represents a calculated content investment designed to drive subscriber acquisition and retention in these markets.
This Rangers Sports Network agreement reveals Fubo's evolving approach to sports rights acquisition in a fragmented media landscape. By securing carriage in the Rangers' five-state footprint while simultaneously becoming an official team partner, Fubo has created an integrated rights package that maximizes value from both content and marketing perspectives.
The structure of this deal is particularly noteworthy for its flexible distribution model. Fubo gains the ability to offer Rangers content both within its primary subscription tiers and as a standalone add-on product. This dual-distribution approach gives Fubo multiple customer acquisition pathways – they can attract full-platform subscribers seeking comprehensive sports coverage or capture Rangers-specific fans through the à la carte option.
The timing coincides with a significant shift in regional sports network (RSN) distribution. As traditional RSNs like Bally Sports face financial challenges, we're seeing teams like the Rangers create their own networks and seek distribution through streaming-first partners. Fubo has positioned itself as an ideal partner for these team-owned networks by offering flexible carriage terms while bringing established streaming infrastructure.
For the Rangers, this partnership solves their critical "last mile" distribution challenge after launching their own network. The Fubo deal ensures their content reaches fans across multiple platforms while maintaining control of their media rights. The branding elements at Globe Life Field further cement this as a holistic partnership rather than just a traditional carriage agreement, creating a blueprint for how regional sports rights might evolve in the streaming era.
Starting today, Fubo will stream Rangers Sports Network’s coverage of every available Texas Rangers game, including pre- and postgame shows, to subscribers of its English-language paid channel plans in the Rangers Sports Network footprint across
As a Proud Partner of the Texas Rangers, Fubo will launch branding at Globe Life Field, including behind home plate, and fan engagement opportunities with the team such as sweepstakes.
The addition of Rangers Sports Network further solidifies Fubo’s position as the home for local sports. Fubo’s leading sports offering includes more than 55,000 live sporting events annually, with many streaming in 4K, and over 35 regional sports networks in its base package at the lowest cost compared to other streaming options. Fubo is also the streaming leader in Major League Baseball coverage carrying MLB.TV, MLB Network, MLB Strike Zone, regional sports and broadcast networks, local broadcast networks and national sports networks ESPN and FS1. In addition to its leading sports coverage, Fubo also streams popular live entertainment and news programming and features more than 40,000 TV shows and movies on-demand each month.
“As the streaming leader in Major League Baseball coverage, we cannot be more thrilled to add Rangers Sports Network to Fubo,” said Todd Mathers, executive vice president, content strategy & acquisition, Fubo. “Our robust carriage and sponsorship agreement means Fubo subscribers can watch Texas Rangers baseball all season long while engaging with the team through multiple fan opportunities.”
“Since the launch of Rangers Sports Network was announced in January, we have continued to work on additional agreements to provide options to watch our games," said Neil Leibman, chairman, Rangers Sports Media and Entertainment Company. "Fubo's carriage of RSN gives fans another tremendous avenue to watch Rangers baseball this season. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with Fubo and hope that fans will take advantage of this new opportunity."
