If you logged into Fubo expecting Sunday Night Football or Premier League action, you likely faced an unwelcome surprise. Since late November, all NBCUniversal channels, including NBC, USA Network and Telemundo, have been blacked out on the platform, leaving fans scrambling for alternatives.
Whether it’s the Minnesota @ Dallas showdown on Sunday Night Football or the weekend's English Premier League soccer fixtures, here’s what’s behind the blackout and ways to keep watching your games.
GOAL brings you all the information on which streaming providers to turn to and a complete listing of the NBC channels Fubo stopped airing at the end of 2025.
Why are NBC channels missing on Fubo plans?
The blackout stems from a contract dispute between Fubo and NBCUniversal. Fubo claims NBCU’s pricing and packaging terms were "egregiously above those offered to other distributors."
NBCUniversal counters that Fubo was offered the same terms as hundreds of other providers and accuses the streaming platform of dropping networks at the expense of subscribers.
Negotiations are reportedly still ongoing, with no timeframe for when NBCUniversal channels may return to Fubo. The service is offering $15 credit to affected subscribers but, sadly, that won’t bring back the games you were hoping to live stream.
How to watch Sunday Night Football & Premier League soccer without Fubo
If you want to catch this week’s SNF matchup or the weekend’s exciting English Premier League fixtures, here are the best streaming alternatives you can sign up to in order to watch the big game:

The Bottom Line
Until the Fubo-NBCUniversal dispute is resolved, subscribers are missing Sunday Night Football (NBC), Premier League soccer matches (USA Network / NBC), Liga MX & international soccer (Telemundo / Universo).
For uninterrupted coverage, Peacock offers the most affordable direct NBC access, while DirecTV Stream and Sling TV are GOAL's other recommended picks to catch all the live sports action.
