Further, a leaderboard for each game and subscription to notifications for the latest updates will also be made available.

While the predictive, free-to-play games will be available on Android mobile, iOS mobile, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku and the web, FanView will be available on Android TV, Fire TV, LG TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox One’s family of devices and the web.

The CEO of fuboTV, David Gandler, said, “fuboTV’s vision to define a new category of interactive sports and entertainment television takes a major step forward with our launch of free games and FanView. We believe this will mark the first time any company has integrated live streaming television, free games and live stats within the same platform, on the big screen. With free games and our upcoming Fubo Sportsbook real-money wagering app, we intend to deliver a truly interactive streaming experience, one that we expect will improve engagement and retention to fuboTV while also driving advertising revenue.” (See fuboTV stock chart on TipRanks)
