- Total paid subscribers reached 1.1 million, up 81% compared to Q1 2021.

The New York-based company, which is the only live TV streaming platform with every Nielsen-rated sports channel, expanded its presence in the European market during the first quarter.
Q1 marked FuboTV’s first full quarter of being operational in France following the acquisition of French streaming company Molotov SAS in December 2021 for $190 million. Molotov expands FuboTV’s global reach with operations in Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Cameroon.
More than Streaming
FuboTV has made efforts to diversify its portfolio outside live TV streaming. In 2021, the company made its first investment in sports gambling with the acquisition of online sportsbook Vigtory.
The same year, Fubo Gaming, a subsidiary of FuboTV, launched Fubo Sportsbook in Arizona and Iowa. The online sports betting platform is the only owned-and-operated app in the U.S. that provides live sports viewing and wagering in a single ecosystem.
