Fubo Downloads Up 51% WoW. March Madness Is Hitting Different This Year.

Performance timeline chart for FuboTV Inc

FuboTV downloads surged 51.3% WoW to an estimated 228.0K in the week of March 9, with March Madness driving a 15.5% YoY gain over last year’s tournament window. 

DAU hit an estimated 1.0M, up 25.0% WoW and 20.4% YoY, suggesting the event’s lift is outpacing last year’s bracket-driven spike. Here’s what Apptopia’s mobile signals are showing for FUBO.

Downloads Surged to 228.0K (15.5% YoY)

For the week of March 9, Fubo’s downloads reached an estimated 228.0K, rising 51.3% WoW, 48.4% QoQ, and 15.5% YoY.  This rise in downloads is promising on its own, but the real test is whether or not those new users are using the app.  To that end, so far we are seeing similar strong growth in app sessions.

This coordinated acceleration with sessions indicates healthy acquisition quality and stronger monetization potential if engagement continues to scale alongside the user base.

Engagement Trends

For the week of March 9, FUBO’s DAU reached an estimated 1.0M, up 25.0% WoW, while Q4 2025 DAU climbed 45.7% QoQ and 20.4% YoY. Estimated MAU also rose to 13.8M, but not quite at the same rate as DAUs.  As of now, this divergence suggests to us that engagement frequency is deepening faster than audience expansion.

The stronger DAU acceleration alongside MAU growth indicates healthy expansion quality if retention and usage intensity remain stable. For investors, faster DAU growth relative to MAU typically correlates with improving engagement density and could support monetization momentum if sustained.

Accelerating Mobile Momentum Across Acquisition and Engagement

Apptopia’s data provides a useful lens for monitoring Fubo’s near-term trajectory into earnings, especially with DAU growth outpacing MAU growth and reinforcing the broader signal from MPI.
