The launch of fuboTV Espana puts the platform in a good position as they try to take a leading position in the race to dominate the global pay TV landscape. According to an ABI Research, it is expected that this market will generate $295 billion in revenue by 2022.

What made the fuboTV head for Spain? Well, an October report from PwC says that this country's market is the fastest growing for pay TV, and over the top platforms are expected to boost the segment by 50% by 2022.

Why Spain?

“2018 was a milestone year in fuboTV’s young life, with record revenues and subscriber growth,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO, fuboTV. “With our position in the US solid and growing at an aggressive pace, our goal is to become the number one leading vMVPD in the world. Spain is one of the fastest-growing OTT markets and a natural fit for fubo’s European entry. We’re excited to bring our premium viewing experience to Spain with additional markets to come in 2019.”

fuboTV has some 250,000 subscribers, according to the September metrics, and it hopes to attract even more in the coming years.
