What is coming up on Nickelodeon in April 2026?

In April 2026, Nickelodeon is headlined by the season 17 premiere of SpongeBob SquarePants and the intensive buildup to the 39th Annual Kids' Choice Awards, scheduled for May 2. The month’s schedule is further bolstered by the 10th-anniversary celebration of The Loud House, featuring a slate of new Season 9 and 10 episodes every Friday, including the much-anticipated "Clyde Can't Decide" on April 24. Young viewers can also tune in for fresh episodes of The Really Loud House, which concludes its current arc with the "Best Summer Ever!" special on April 10, alongside new adventures from The Boss Baby: Back in Business and the Season 11 premiere of Peppa Pig.

Viewers can also expect a heavy rotation of Transformers: EarthSpark as it races toward its Season 4 finale on April 11, while Wylde Pak wraps up its second season on April 10. Meanwhile, the network's digital expansion continues on Paramount+ with the mid-month addition of The Loud House: European Adventure (April 15) and Dora: Magic Mermaid Adventures (April 22). Rounding out the spring lineup are weekend "Splat Pack" marathons and exclusive looks at the upcoming SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, ensuring the network remains the primary destination for the next generation of fans as they prepare to vote for their favorite stars in the KCA countdown.

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.
