ROOT Sports has agreed to a streaming distribution deal with fuboTV, according to BusinessWire, solving a recognized problem after the Portland Trail Blazers’ broadcasting arm left NBC Sports Northwest for ROOT, a competitor in the regional sports coverage market.
“We could not be more excited to announce this deal with fuboTV,” said Nina Kinch, Vice President of Affiliate Relations for AT&T Sports Networks, managing partner of ROOT SPORTS. “We know that fans are eagerly anticipating the inaugural season of the Seattle Kraken and the return of the Portland Trail Blazers to ROOT SPORTS and the announcement of this new deal will give fans even more ways to get access to ROOT SPORTS and guarantee they have access to all Seattle Kraken, Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Mariners games.
