What is coming up on ESPNEWS in April 2026?

In April 2026, ESPNEWS serves as the network's essential news-intensive engine and "overflow" destination during the peak of the spring sports calendar. The month's programming is anchored by the NFL Draft countdown, featuring daily editions of NFL Draft Daily at 3 PM ET and specialized mock draft specials as the league prepares for the three-day event in Pittsburgh (April 23–25). As the NBA and NHL regular seasons reach their finales on April 12 and 16, respectively, ESPNEWS becomes the primary hub for live post-game press conferences, practice look-ins, and high-frequency SportsCenter updates that track playoff seedings and injury reports in real-time. Additionally, the network remains the dedicated home for the sports betting community with expanded daily episodes of Daily Wager, alongside the afternoon simulcast of The Pat McAfee Show and comprehensive coverage of The Masters (April 9–12) media room sessions. Between breaking news cycles, viewers can find niche championship content including the U.S. Open Polo Championship and the World Cheerleading Championships (April 22–24) live from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

No, Fubo is a completely different and independent streaming provider to Amazon.

While Fubo has plenty of sports options, it lacks the Warner Bros. Discovery channels, meaning you can't watch TNT, TBS, and TruTV, which are crucial for some MLB and NBA games and other popular content.

Furthermore, due to recent developments, Fubo have also recently lost rights to the NBC channels - a huge drawback for a sports-centric service when NBC carries popular sporting events such as Sunday Night Football and English Premier League soccer.

Yes, payments are taken monthly unless you opt for a quarterly payment setup.

Yes, Fubo is available to use on a Fire Stick, as well as a number of other devices, including Roku.

Fubo could be down due to a number of reasons, such as internet connectivity, app problems or even a service outage.

Check the Wi-Fi or home broadband you're connected to to see if there's an issue there. You can try updating or reinstalling the app, as well as checking there isn't an electrical outage in the area by testing other equipment or, specifically, other devices or apps that connect to the same internet.

There's a good chance your internet speed isn't fast enough, especially if you are experiencing buffering while streaming.

Check there's nothing blocking or interfering with the internet hub or router, so the signal isn't being disrupted.

Optionally, you can lower the picture quality if you are experiencing buffering, which may help it to run smoother.

This could be because the service is geo-restricted, meaning you cannot use it outside of the United States or area you are trying to access specific local channels.

Using a VPN is a way to circumvent the issue, as Fubo is generally region and country specific.
