Watch Benfica TV on fuboTV
From its beginnings, fuboTV has been the best way to stream football (soccer) matches from around the world. In fact, fuboTV is the only streaming service that offers BenficaTV — for a price.
fuboTV Pricing and Packages
Benfica TV does not come with fuboTV’s standard subscription plans. First, you have to choose between fuboTV’s Family plan or its Elite plan. For most households, the Family plan will be plenty thanks a lineup of more than one hundred channels and premium features. The Elite plan adds even more content and bumps up the features a bit more.
| Family 7-day free trial $64.99/ month | 114 channels 3 simultaneous streams 500 hours of DVR space ESPN SHOWTIME Sports Plus add-on | SIGN UP |
| Family Plan with Showtime 7-day free trial $74.99/ month | 114 channels 2 simultaneous streams 500 hours of DVR space ESPN SHOWTIME included Sports Plus add-on | SIGN UP |
| Ultra 7-day free trial $84.99/ month | 196 channels 3 simultaneous streams 500 hours of DVR space ESPN SHOWTIME included Sports Plus add-on | SIGN UP |
Once you’ve subscribed, you can add the Portuguese Plus expansion pack for another $15 per month. You get two other channels in addition to Benfica TV. One is RTP Internacional, Portugal’s national radio and television company. The third channel GolTV’s Spanish-language broadcast.

fuboTV Channels
About a third of the lineup in each fuboTV subscription plan consists of sports-centric channels — no other streaming service offers so much for sports fans. But it doesn’t stop there. FuboTV also has a complete lineup of basic cable news, sports, lifestyle and entertainment channels.

fuboTV Local Channels and Regional Sports Networks
Unfortunately FuboTV’s support for local broadcast stations, however, is inconsistent. The streaming service is still building its portfolio of local ABC stations. NBC stations are well represented, with Fox and CBS falling somewhere in between.
The biggest gap in fuboTV’s channel lineup is, surprisingly, regional sports networks. Only a few markets can stream their local teams through fuboTV.

FuboTV has put a lot of effort into building out its app ecosystem. The only big exceptions are the game consoles like PlayStation and Xbox.

- Smart TVs and Blu-ray players: Samsung televisions as well as devices based on Fire TV, Android TV and Roku.

fuboTV Simultaneous Streams
The Family plan’s standard support for five simultaneous streams — three on your home network and two on mobile devices — is better than what’s offered by most other streaming services. The Elite plan elevates that to five devices at home and three on the road.

fuboTV DVR
The Family plan also offers a solid 250 hours of recording capacity on the cloud DVR. The Elite plan’s 1,000 hours of recording capacity is only outmatched by a handful of competitors.
Whichever plan you choose, the recordings will expire after thirty days.

fuboTV On-Demand Library
You’ll find the same kind of on-demand content on fuboTV as you would on other streaming service since it all comes from the content providers. However, fuboTV is developing its own sports-centric original content. Weekly round-up shows cover the latest sports events. You’ll also be able to watch sports-themed movies.

Streaming SL Benfica
Based out of Lisbon, S.L. Benfica is the most successful football club in Portugal. For more than a decade, the club-owned Benfica TV has broadcast the team’s matches and other Premeira League matches to fans across Portugal. Benfica TV has also distributed its broadcast to countries with large numbers of Portuguese-speakers, including the United States.
As the channel became more popular, S.L. Benfica licensed broadcast rights from football leagues around the world. The channel has also carried Segunda Lifa, Serie A and Ligue 1 matches.
Beyond football, Benfica TV airs matches from Portugal’s amateur sports leagues. Original programming includes recap shows, interview shows and other Benfica-centric content.
The Benfica app will not let you watch full matches live. However, you will get live updates of scoring, cards and commentary. Other benefits go to members of S.L. Benfica’s Red Pass program, including virtual cards for getting into the stadium.
