Activating Fubo TV on a Smart TV or streaming device is a simple process once the Fubo app is installed. The easiest method is to use the activation code displayed on your television. Instead of typing your email address and password with a TV remote, you can use your phone, tablet, or computer to connect your Fubo account to the television.

Fubo currently supports activation through a code on compatible connected devices and Smart TVs, including Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, and supported Smart TV platforms.

Prepare Your Device

Before activating Fubo TV, make sure your Smart TV or streaming device is connected to the internet.

You should also confirm that the Fubo application is installed and that your device is compatible with the service. Fubo supports various streaming devices, Smart TVs, mobile devices, tablets, and computer browsers.

If your internet connection is unstable, activation may not complete correctly. Restarting your television, streaming device, or router can help resolve temporary connection problems.

Open the Fubo TV App

Turn on your television and open the Fubo application.

If you have not installed the app yet, search for Fubo in your device's application store and install the official application.

For example, on Fire TV, open Find and Search, look for Fubo, select the application, and choose Get or Download.

Compatible Samsung and LG Smart TVs have similar installation processes through their respective application stores.

When the Fubo application opens, select Sign In.

You will generally see different login options depending on your device. The easiest option is Sign In With a Code.

Fubo recommends the code-based method for supported connected devices because it allows you to complete the authentication process using another device instead of entering your credentials with the television remote.

Get the Activation Code

After selecting Sign In With a Code, your television should display a temporary activation code.

Keep this screen open.

The code displayed on your television is unique to the activation session, so make sure you use the code currently shown on your screen rather than an older code.

Use Your Phone or Computer

Take your smartphone, tablet, or computer and open a web browser.

Go to the Fubo connection page.

After signing in, enter the activation code displayed on your television and submit it.

Fubo's official instructions state that after the code is accepted, a success message appears in the browser and the Fubo app on your TV automatically signs in to the Home screen.

Wait for Activation

After entering the correct code, return to your television.

The Fubo application should refresh automatically. You should then see the Fubo Home screen rather than the login page.

From the Home screen, you can browse live programming, sports, shows, movies, recommendations, and other content available through your subscription.

You normally do not need to enter the activation code again unless you sign out or Fubo asks you to authenticate the device again.

Remember the Activation Code Expires

One important detail is that Fubo activation codes are temporary.

Fubo currently states that activation codes are valid for five minutes. If you wait too long, the displayed code may expire.

If your code has expired, return to the Fubo application on your television and generate a new code.

Then refresh the connection page on your phone or computer and enter the latest code.

Check the Code Carefully

If activation does not work, carefully compare the code on your television with the code you entered on your other device.

A single incorrect character can cause the activation to fail.

It is also possible that the code changed while you were entering it. If that happens, use the newest code displayed on your TV.

Fubo recommends refreshing the activation page and checking the television for a new code when an activation attempt produces an error.

Make Sure You Have a Fubo Account

You need an active Fubo account to activate the application using a code.

If you do not have an account yet, select the signup option in the Fubo application and follow the instructions to create one. On most compatible Smart TVs and connected devices, Fubo directs new users to complete account creation using a phone, tablet, or computer.

After completing signup, you can return to the activation process and connect the account to your TV.

What If You Already Have Fubo?

If you already have an active Fubo subscription, you do not need to create another account.

Simply choose Sign In in the Fubo app and use the email address and password associated with your existing account.

Using the same account also allows you to access your subscription and available programming on other supported devices.

Use Email and Password Instead

The activation-code method is usually the easiest option, but it is not the only way to sign in.

If the activation code does not work, select Sign In With Email on your television.

Enter your Fubo email address and password using the on-screen keyboard or your device remote.

Fubo lists email-and-password authentication as an alternative when code-based activation is unsuccessful.

Troubleshoot a Frozen Activation Screen

If the activation screen is stuck, close the Fubo application and open it again.

You can also restart your Smart TV or streaming device.

After restarting, launch Fubo and select Sign In again.

If the application still does not respond, check whether other streaming applications are working. If several applications are experiencing problems, your internet connection may be responsible.

Check Your Internet Connection

A stable internet connection is necessary for Fubo activation and streaming.

If the app cannot connect to your account, restart your router and reconnect your television or streaming device.

You can also check the Wi-Fi signal strength and make sure your device is not too far from the router.

If the Fubo application works but videos constantly buffer after activation, the issue may be related to your internet connection rather than your account.

Update the Fubo App

An outdated Fubo application can sometimes cause compatibility or performance issues.

Check your device's application store for an available Fubo update.

Fubo's current support information provides device-specific installation and compatibility requirements, so keeping both the streaming device and Fubo app updated can help provide a smoother experience.

Additional Verification May Be Required

In certain situations, Fubo may request additional account verification after you sign in with your email and password.

Fubo currently uses two-factor authentication in specific circumstances. When required, a verification code can be sent to the email address associated with your account.

If you receive a verification request, check your email and enter the code shown in the message.

Remove an Old Device if Necessary

If you have previously connected many devices to your Fubo account, you can review them through Fubo's Device Manager.

The Device Manager allows you to see devices currently signed into your account and remove devices you no longer want connected.

This can be useful if you are activating Fubo on a new television and no longer use an older device.

Start Watching After Activation

Once activation is complete, you should be taken to the Fubo Home screen.

From there, you can explore your available programming. The Fubo interface provides access to live and upcoming programs, sports, shows, movies, recommendations, and your saved content.

Your available channels and programming depend on your Fubo subscription and location.

Final Thoughts

Activating Fubo TV is generally quick and straightforward. First, install and open the Fubo application on your compatible Smart TV or streaming device. Select Sign In, choose Sign In With a Code, and wait for the activation code to appear on your television.

Next, use a phone, tablet, or computer to access Fubo's connection page. Sign in with your Fubo account, enter the code displayed on your TV, and submit it. Once the code is accepted, your television should automatically refresh and sign you into the Fubo Home screen.

If the code does not work, remember that activation codes expire after five minutes. Generate a fresh code, refresh the connection page, and try again. If activation continues to fail, use the email-and-password sign-in option available on your device.

With a compatible device, an active Fubo account, and a reliable internet connection, you can complete the activation process and start enjoying your available Fubo programming on the big screen.
