<p>fuboTV, the sports-first streaming service, is rebranding to Fubo. In fact, Fubo announced the simplified name change on Tuesday while rolling out a new ad campaign. To specify that the streaming service is centralized around sports, NBA Hall of Famer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjtE4AztabQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kevin Garnett</a> and former NFL quarterback <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEkQCuGDGxI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark Sanchez</a> feature in the campaign.</p>



<p>The producer of the ad campaign is none other than <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/wrexham-owners-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-meet-the-king-20221209-WST-411806.html">co-owner of Wrexham AFC</a>, Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds’s production company, Maximum Effort, debuted the campaign starring the two former professional athletes in 15- and 30-second clips. In it, Fubo touts how it is ranked No. 1 by J.D. Power and Associates in terms of customer satisfaction for streaming services. Also, there is a heavy emphasis on the fact that Fubo now carries local sports networks. This includes Bally Sports, which broadcasts the NBA, NHL and MLB. It also used to house MLS clubs, before <a href="https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.7000?itsct=wst_mls&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=1010l35s4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS went near-full streaming with Apple</a>. </p>



<p>In general, the theme for the new-look fuboTV as Fubo is “If sports fans built a streaming service,” this is what it would look like. Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Networks and originals, believes the change in theme and the ad campaigns capture that emphasis on sports.</p>

<p>“In a time with seemingly endless options, our new brand campaign shows what sets Fubo apart as a must-have for sports fans,” said Duckworth. “We worked hand-in-hand with Maximum Effort to bring this concept to life and I’m extremely proud of the content we’re creating together.”</p>



<p>Noticeably, though, soccer was completely absent from the Fubo advertising.</p>



<h2>fuboTV rebrands as just Fubo before exclusive soccer matches</h2>



<p>Fubo’s focus on sports originally focused on soccer. At a cost of $7 per month when it launched in 2015, fuboTV, which is now Fubo, had access to more or less just soccer.</p>



<p>Now, it has a wide range of sports, entertainment, movies, TV and news channels. The most recent addition was the aforementioned regional sports networks such as Bally Sports.</p>



<p>Still, soccer is a major part of what Fubo does. And, on the week Fubo makes its change in name, major exclusive soccer games return to the provider. The <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/euro-2024-qualifiers-to-air-across-fox-and-fubo-20230321-WST-423875.html">2024 European Championship Qualifiers</a> start on <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/uefa-european-championship-tv-schedule/">March 23</a>. France-Netherlands, Croatia-Wales and England-Ukraine are exclusive to Fubo. However, the provider also carries FS1 and FS2, which also have qualifying games in this competition.</p>

<p>Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics basketball team is a massive Chelsea fan. Garnett is pictured above (and see video below) wearing a Chelsea shirt before a recent NBA game.</p>
<p>According to the <a href="http:\/\/www.chelseafc.com/page/NewsHomePage/0,,10268~1325461,00.html" target="_blank">Chelsea web site</a>, Garnett and teammate Paul Pierce are both fans. The NBA players both became fans after Chelsea’s preseason tour last summer to the United States.</p>
<p>This is another sign of the growth of the Premier League in the United States. The league is slowly gaining more of a mainstream profile in this country. Last year, a league match featuring Manchester United was written into the script for the hit HBO series, Entourage.</p>
<p>Here’s a video of Garnett accepting the jersey from Chelsea:</p>
