Today, Fubo has best-in-class programming partnerships, innovative service offerings and preeminent live sports and entertainment content and is well positioned for the future. I look forward to following the company’s continued growth and success in the months and years ahead.”
It is expected Bowen will serve on the Fubo board of directors, pending approval at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders on July 28, 2026. Gandler has resigned from the board and will not stand for re-election at the Walt Disney affiliated company.
