The Budget-Friendly "Sports + News" Plan: If you want to keep costs down, Fubo offers a dedicated "Sports + News" plan. It is their cheapest package, normally priced at $55.99/month (and frequently discounted to $45.99 for your first month). This skinny bundle strips away non-essential entertainment channels while keeping core networks like FOX, FS1, and FS2, making it the most cost-effective way to track New Zealand's run.
Fubo Multiview: On the final matchdays of the group stage, games kick off simultaneously. If you're using an Apple TV or supported smart device, Fubo lets you watch up to four matches at the same time on a single screen so you don't miss a single second of Group J drama.
Unlimited Cloud DVR: If a match kicks off while you're at work or commuting, you can set Fubo to record the entire game or the whole tournament with a single click.
Stream Anywhere: Fubo has native apps for iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and major gaming consoles, meaning you can watch the match on your phone at lunch or on the big screen at home.
Remember: you can start a free trial under any of the plans, including their most comprehensive 'Elite'.
