• fuboTV to start streaming ABC, ESPN, others on August 1st.
• This adds NBA, more NFL, UFC, and other sports to fuboTV.
• The deal was announced in June, but it’s only now being put in action.

fuboTV will be adding Disney channels to its platform starting with August 1st, and the events are already listed on fuboTV’s schedule, so you can check them out now.

Back in June, it was announced that fuboTV had reached a deal with Disney Media to add ESPN, ABC, and a bunch of other channels. Back then, the announcement mentioned “summer” plans with no exact date.

However, now some events have popped up on fuboTV’s schedule for ESPN, ABC, and other channels covered by the deal. For instance, on August 1st, we have the Heat featuring Nuggets in one of the first NBA return games on ESPN.

fuboTV was initially built as a sports platform, featuring dozens of dedicated channels, but they’ve since expanded to included loads of entertainment options. With ESPN being one of the top sports networks, many fans were always worrying that it was missing from fuboTV, as they were not getting the full sports experience.
