In April 2026, National Geographic is headlined by the global "Step Into Wonder" initiative to celebrate Earth Month, anchored by the premiere of the two-part special Secrets of the Bees on Tuesday, March 31 and April 1. The month’s schedule is further bolstered by the debut of Cheetahs Up Close with Bertie Gregory and the second season of A Real Bug’s Life, alongside the Disneynature feature film Orangutan. Viewers can also expect the weekly themed event The Wonder List, focusing on natural elements like Stars, Clouds, Trees, and Rocks, leading up to the Earth Day (April 22) celebration. Meanwhile, the network features primetime marathons of Ocean with David Attenborough and deep-dives into the Disney Conservation Fund’s 30th-anniversary milestones, ensuring every night offers a front-row seat to the wonders of the natural world.

Frequently asked questions

Fubo (formerly fubo TV) has a number of plans: Core, Ultra and Sports + News, with a Latino package at a fraction of the cost for fewer 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.

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.
