What is coming up on Nat Geo Wild in March 2026?

In March 2026, Nat Geo Wild continues to be the premier destination for veterinary drama and intimate wildlife encounters, anchored by the high-profile premiere of Secrets of the Bees on March 31 (8/7c). Narrated by explorer Bertie Gregory, this two-part event uses specialized macro-cinematography to reveal the hidden social dynamics and survival tactics of a single hive. The month also introduces Vet Detective, a new series following Dr. Lauren Adelman as she solves baffling medical mysteries for pets that have stumped other specialists. These new additions complement the network's heavy hitters, including the ongoing run of Incredible Northern Vets Season 2 and the relentless "Super-Pol Sunday" marathons of The Incredible Dr. Pol Season 22. Weeknights remain dedicated to the "Predator & Prey" blocks, featuring a mix of Aussie Snake Wranglers: Deadly Pursuit and Monster Fish, while the early morning "Yukon Vet" marathons continue to serve as a staple for fans of rural animal care.

Frequently asked questions

Fubo (formerly fubo TV) has a number of plans: Pro, Elite, Deluxe and Sports, with a Latino package at a fraction of the cost and for a lot less channels. Add-ons are also available, if you wish to add more sports and entertainment to your package.

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.

Yes, you can watch Fubo on your television, by installing the app onto your Smart TV or via a web browser that's connected to your TV.

Yes, you can watch up to 10 simultaneous streams from your home location on various devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, and on three additional mobile devices from various locations away from your home.

Prices tend to rise annually, but Fubo does operate a one-year price lock guarantee.

No, Fubo doesn't give refunds for this, but doesn't lock you in to annual contract either.

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.
