Tubi Launches in the UK

Tubi has officially launched in the U.K., marking the most significant overseas expansion for the free, ad-supported streaming service.

The Fox-owned AVOD platform is heading across the Atlantic with more than 20,000 movies and TV episodes on-demand, featuring content from the likes of Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal and Sony Pictures, as well as its slate of Tubi Originals.

The expansion — which had been touted last year when it hired the U.K.-based ex-Endeavor exec David Salmon as head of international — comes at a time of impressive audience figures, with Tubi now the fastest growing U.S. streaming service.
