How to Watch Fubo on LG Smart TV

With many people cutting the cord with their cable and satellite providers, live TV services like Fubo are surging in popularity. If you own an LG smart TV and have a Fubo subscription, then you can download the Fubo app and start watching in five simple steps. Fubo is a great option for live TV since it has several packages available at cheaper rates than traditional cable or satellite services.

Before you get started, you must know that Fubo is not an on-demand service like Netflix. Instead, you get access to linear TV channels like ESPN, Nickelodeon, Discovery, and Comedy Central. Not only can you watch these channels on your LG smart TV, but you can also stream on the go with a smartphone. Now, let’s get Fubo added to your LG smart TV.

How to Watch Fubo on LG Smart TV

Adding Fubo is pretty simple, but before we get started, make sure that your TV is already connected to the internet with either a wired or wireless connection. If this is your first time using the TV, you will also need to complete the initial setup process and create an LG account to use the store. After that, you are ready to get started.

Step 1: Open the LG Store

First, hit the home icon on your remote to go to the home screen. Go to the LG Store by scrolling down to the line of apps. Then, scroll to the right until you get to the tile that says “Apps.” Click on the tile to enter the LG app store.

Step 2: Search for Fubo

Once you are in the store, ignore all of the content and go to the magnifying glass icon in the upper right to start a search. In the search box, type in “Fubo” and click the “Search” button. If your remote has a microphone, now is a good time to use voice commands to avoid typing.

Step 3: Select the Fubo App

After running the search, you may see a couple of apps at the top of the screen. Choose “Fubo Watch Live TV & Sports.” You may find out that Fubo is already installed on your TV; if it is, you will have the option to update and launch it. Otherwise, you will go to the app store’s Fubo page.

Step 4: Download and Install Fubo

Next, click on the “Install” button on the Fubo app page. Your download should start immediately, and it should only take a couple of seconds to complete. You can either exit the store at this time or wait for it to finish. Once complete, you can click the “Launch” button in the store to launch the app.

Step 5: Sign In and Start Watching

Finally, launch the Fubo app from the LG Store or the homescreen. All that is left to do is sign in to your Fubo account. If you don’t have a Fubo account, you can start a free trial of the app. Once signed in, you are ready to start watching Fubo on your LG smart TV.

What’s on Fubo?

Fubo has over 100 popular channels like TLC, ESPN, and CNN. With Fubo, you can watch all of the included channels live, just like you would with a cable TV package. The only difference is you access the content through the internet with a streaming device. Each Fubo package offers different channels, but each one has a lot of variety, including sports, news, reality TV, and kid’s content.

Fubo Subscriptions

Fubo offers three main subscription packages, including Pro, Elite, and Premier. Pro has 176 channels for $74.99 per month. Upgrading to Elite gives you 243 channels for $84.99 per month, but it also includes 4K content. The Premier package has 252 channels for 94.99 per month, plus it includes 4K and Showtime.

Each of these packages also comes with 1,000 hours of cloud DVR, and you can stream 10 screens at once. Fubo also offers a fourth package called Latino, which includes 60 channels in Spanish for $32.99. The Latino package comes with 250 hours of cloud DVR, and you can stream two screens simultaneously. Just like conventional cable and satellite packages, there are add-ons like Family Share.

Wrapping Up

Fubo is a great replacement for traditional cable and satellite packages since it is affordable, and you can cancel at any time. As you’ve seen, it is very easy to start watching Fubo on your LG smart TV by simply adding an app. You can also use the steps above to add other apps to your LG smart TV.
