fuboTV runs natively on LG Smart TVs from 2018 onward through the LG Content Store. I set it up on my LG C2 OLED running webOS 22, and the entire process took under 3 minutes from download to live TV.
If your LG TV is older than 2018, you still have options. AirPlay 2 lets you cast fuboTV from an Apple device to your TV without any extra hardware.

#Which LG Smart TVs Support fuboTV?
According to fuboTV’s device compatibility page, the app runs on LG Smart TVs with webOS 4.0 or later. That covers every LG Smart TV sold from 2018 through 2026.
Here’s the breakdown by year and webOS version:
| LG TV Year | webOS Version | fuboTV Support |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | webOS 4.0 | Yes |
| 2019 | webOS 4.5 | Yes |
| 2020 | webOS 5.0 | Yes |
| 2021 | webOS 6.0 | Yes |
| 2022 | webOS 22 | Yes |
| 2023 | webOS 23 | Yes |
| 2024-2026 | webOS 24 | Yes |
LG TVs from 2017 and earlier don’t support the fuboTV app through the Content Store. For those models, AirPlay 2 or a streaming device like Apple TV is the workaround.
#Installing fuboTV on Your LG TV
The installation takes about 2 minutes. Follow these steps:
- Press the Home button on your LG remote to open the webOS launcher.
- Go to Apps and select the LG Content Store icon.
- Type fuboTV in the search bar.
- Select the fuboTV app and press Install.
- Once installed, open the app from your home screen.
On my LG C2, the app appeared in the launcher bar automatically after installation. If it doesn’t show up, scroll right on the launcher and select the + icon to add it manually.
If your LG Content Store search returns no results for fuboTV, check your TV's region settings. fuboTV is only available in the United States, Canada, and Spain.
#Signing In and Starting Your First Stream
Open the fuboTV app on your LG TV. You’ll see Sign In and Start Free Trial.
If you already have an account, select Sign In. The app shows an activation code on screen. Visit fubo.tv/account/activate on your phone or computer, enter the code, and your TV logs in automatically. No typing your email and password with the remote.
New subscribers can sign up at fubo.tv for a 7-day free trial. The Pro plan at $79.99/month includes 180+ channels, 1,000 hours of Cloud DVR storage, and streams on up to 10 devices at once.
After signing in, the home screen shows live channels, your recordings, and personalized recommendations. Use the guide button to browse all channels by category.
#Can You Stream fuboTV on LG TV Using AirPlay?
Yes. LG confirms that all Smart TVs from 2018 and newer include AirPlay 2 support, so you can cast fuboTV from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac directly to your TV screen.
To set up AirPlay streaming:
- Connect your Apple device and LG TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Open the fuboTV app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and start playing any channel.
- Tap the AirPlay icon (rectangle with triangle) in the video player.
- Select your LG TV from the list.
The stream transfers to your TV within a few seconds. I tested this on an iPhone 15 Pro casting to my LG B3, and there was roughly a 1-second delay compared to the native app. Good enough for watching live sports. If AirPlay doesn’t connect, check our guide on fixing AirPlay issues on LG TVs.
AirPlay works for occasional use. The native webOS app is better for daily viewing since it gives you the full channel guide and DVR controls without pulling out your phone.
#fuboTV Channel Lineup and Add-Ons
The Pro plan has 180+ channels. Sports is where fuboTV pulls ahead of Sling TV and Philo.
Sports channels include ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, NFL Network, CBS Sports Network, NBC Sports, beIN Sports, and regional sports networks in most markets. Select games stream in 4K resolution.
Entertainment and news channels cover FX, AMC, A&E, HGTV, Food Network, CNN, MSNBC, and local ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX affiliates. You also get LG Channels separately through webOS for free ad-supported content.
Sports Plus ($10.99/month) adds NFL RedZone and MLB Network. See fubo.tv for the full lineup.
#Troubleshooting fuboTV on LG Smart TV
If fuboTV won’t load, freezes, or shows a black screen on your LG TV, try these fixes in order:
Restart the app. Close fuboTV completely by pressing and holding the Back button on your remote, then reopen it. This clears temporary glitches without losing your login.
Check your internet speed. fuboTV’s support page confirms that you need at least 10 Mbps for HD streaming and 25 Mbps for 4K. Run a speed test from your LG TV by going to Settings > Network > Wi-Fi Connection > Advanced Wi-Fi Settings. If speeds are low, move your router closer or connect with an Ethernet cable.
Update the app. Open the LG Content Store, search for fuboTV, and tap Update.
Clear the app cache. On webOS 6.0 and later, go to Settings > General > System > Additional Settings > Clear Cache. On older webOS versions, uninstall and reinstall fuboTV instead.
Factory reset as a last resort. If nothing else works, a factory reset fixes most software issues but erases all your TV settings. For a deeper dive into common problems, see our fuboTV troubleshooting guide.
If your LG TV apps keep restarting across multiple apps (not just fuboTV), the problem is likely webOS itself, not the fuboTV app.
#Bottom Line
fuboTV is one of the most sports-focused live TV streaming services you can get on an LG Smart TV. Install it from the LG Content Store on any 2018+ model, or use AirPlay 2 as a backup. The 7-day free trial lets you test every channel before committing to the $79.99/month Pro plan.

fuboTV recommends at least 10 Mbps for standard HD streaming. For 4K sports broadcasts, you need 25 Mbps or higher. If you share your network with other devices, aim for 50 Mbps total to avoid buffering during peak usage times. A wired Ethernet connection delivers the most stable performance.
