Said TV5MONDE USA’s COO Patrice Courtaban, “We’re very happy to work with fuboTV, one of the leading live TV streaming platforms in the U.S. TV5MONDE is widely recognized for bringing a wealth of premium French language entertainment programming, movies and when the leagues return, unique, best-in-class sports coverage to viewers from the leading league games to weekly Ligue 1 soccer games, Top 14 rugby regular season matches and the league’s Championship match, to name a few.”
Soccer is a big draw on fubo TV, which started as a service built around the sport. So
“We are listening to what our customers want and, in these unprecedented times, there is a strong appetite for more entertainment content and, as sports gradually begin to return, international leagues. TV5MONDE is a great complement to our existing fuboTV channel lineup and strengthens our multicultural Hispanic, Portuguese and Italian programming with French content.”
