Calling it a first of its kind deal, live sports-streaming service fuboTV announced a partnership with daily fantasy sports provider FanDuel.
According to a press release, the deal also includes agreement that brings FanDuel -owned horse-racing networks TVG and TVG2 to fuboTV, as well. The deal is only live in New Jersey, but fuboTV says over time it will be able to integrate sports betting data on the platform in other states where betting is legal.
The partnership makes FanDuel the exclusive sportsbook, online casino, horse racing and daily fantasy sports partner for fuboTV. FanDuel will also advertise across fuboTV channels.
The TVG network, meanwhile, will be added to fuboTV’s base package and TVG2 will become available in the Sports Plus add-on package. The channels will bring horse racing industry coverage, as well as programming on sports betting and fantasy news, which includes TVG’s sports betting-focused show “More Ways to Win.”
The channels are set to launch in the coming weeks. The company declined to share the deal terms.
“We’re partnering with fuboTV to demonstrate how FanDuel can enhance the live viewing experience by allowing cord-cutting sports fans to view the content that matters to them the most from their TV, phone, tablet or computer,” said Adam Kaplan, FanDuel VP of Content Business & Operations, in a press release. “FuboTV is a sports-centric company, focused on live sports and entertainment content, making them a natural partner. By integrating our odds and data on fuboTV’s platform, we are truly changing the way people watch live sports.”
