What is Tubi?
Tubi is a streaming service that broadcasts free, ad-supported programming to its users. The service launched on April 1, 2014, and has since garnered nearly 100 million monthly users.
Tubi offers both on-demand programming – including TV shows, movies and original content – along with a handful of live TV channels to its audience.
Is Tubi free?
Yes, Tubi is free. It is an ad-supported streaming service, so the company makes its money from in-program commercial breaks.
Does Tubi have ads?
Yes, as mentioned, Tubi does have ads. The streaming service uses commercials as its primary money-making measure, as it doesn't charge its users for accessing the service.
Tubi's broadcast of Super Bowl 59 will feature the same ads as the Fox broadcast, so viewers hoping to catch the famed Super Bowl commercials will be able to do so on Tubi.
Is the Super Bowl on Tubi?
Yes, it is. Fox is broadcasting Super Bowl 59 and has decided to air the streaming edition of the game on Tubi.
Previously, the network used the Fox Sports App to broadcast NFL games. Tubi will get its first chance to broadcast the game for free to NFL fans in 2025.
