For those who have been waiting to catch the 2026 Winter Olympics, there's still some bad news. Fubo, a popular streaming service, has lost its deal with NBCUniversal due to ongoing contract disputes between the two media companies. As a result, all NBC channels are no longer available on the platform.
Subscribers looking for an alternative will have several options. DirecTV offers live access to thousands of channels, including NBC and other NBC-owned networks like USA and Bravo. Hulu + Live TV also includes access to NBC and ESPN Unlimited, giving users a full range of sports content to stream. Peacock is another comprehensive option with extensive coverage of the Olympics.
However, if you're looking for an ad-supported streaming service with affordable prices, you might want to check out Walmart+. While not offering live access to specific channels like NBC or USA directly, it does provide Peacock's Premium plan and includes the ability to watch thousands of hours of content, including TV shows.
If you can't find what you're looking for through these options, DirecTV also offers a free 4-month trial period so you can test out its services before committing.

. Lost NBCUniversal deal is super inconvenient. But hey, it looks like we've got some solid alternatives here... DirecTV and Hulu + Live TV are both great options for live sports streaming. Peacock's not bad either, especially with Walmart+ throwing in the Premium plan 
. Not ideal but I guess you can't win 'em all 
.
. Have been thinking of switching to Walmart+ myself, they've got Peacock Premium which is supposed to be pretty good 
. Anyone else having to do this? 
. And now we're stuck with a bunch of other options that either cost an arm and a leg or have annoying ads 
DirecTV might be tempting with their free trial period, but let's not forget that's just a way for them to get us hooked and then make us pay

i was really looking forward to that! but i guess direcTV and hulu + live tv are good alternatives... or maybe peacock will make up for it since walmart+ is a cheap ad-supported option? 
whats going on with these streaming services anyways? cant they just make it easy for us to watch the olympics without all the drama? anyway, i think walmart+ is a decent option if you wanna save some cash... but let's be real, peacock premium is worth every penny 
Not my fave news! Lost NBC channels on Fubo is a total bummer! I'm still reeling from the loss of the Olympics streaming and now this 
. Like, what's next? Losing other sports channels too? It's not just about the Olympics, it's about having a solid platform to watch your fave teams and events. And now we're stuck with these alternative options that might not even have everything we want... Walmart+ is cool and all, but where's the live TV?
