Tubi TV: Channel List, Supported Regions, and Devices

Are you tired of watching your streaming budget balloon while you chase content across multiple services? With Americans now spending an average of $61.83 monthly on streaming services (according to a 2023 J.D. Power survey), finding quality free alternatives has become essential for entertainment-hungry viewers. Enter Tubi TV – a completely free streaming platform offering thousands of movies, TV shows, and live channels without requiring a credit card or subscription.

As a service that‘s grown from a scrappy startup to a major player with over 74 million monthly active users, Tubi represents the evolving future of ad-supported streaming. In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll dive deep into everything you need to know about this rapidly expanding platform, with special focus on its extensive channel lineup, global availability, and device compatibility.

What Is Tubi TV? Understanding the Free Streaming Giant

Tubi TV stands out in the crowded streaming landscape as one of the most content-rich free services available today. Launched in 2014 by Farhad Massoudi and acquired by Fox Corporation in 2020 for $440 million, Tubi has transformed from a small startup to one of the leading ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD) platforms globally.

Unlike subscription services, Tubi generates revenue through advertising, allowing viewers to access over 50,000 titles and 200+ live channels without spending a dime. The tradeoff? You‘ll see commercial breaks during your viewing experience – similar to traditional television but typically shorter.

Tubi by the Numbers

The scale of Tubi‘s growth tells an impressive story:

According to data from Kantar Media, Tubi now commands 8.8% of total streaming time in households with connected TVs, putting it ahead of services like Paramount+ and HBO Max despite being completely free.

The Fox Acquisition Impact

Fox Corporation‘s 2020 acquisition of Tubi for $440 million has dramatically accelerated the platform‘s growth. The investment has enabled:

• Expansion of live TV offerings, particularly news and sports
• Development of original content under the "Tubi Originals" banner
• Integration of Fox programming and library content
• Enhanced technology infrastructure to support more users
• International expansion to new markets

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch has repeatedly highlighted Tubi as a key growth engine for the company, with the streaming service now generating more ad revenue than Fox‘s own broadcast network during some quarters.
