On July 19, 2026, Germany's top football league, the Bundesliga, secured a new broadcasting deal for American screens, moving its coverage from ESPN in an agreement that prioritizes audience reach. This development followed Versant's announcement on July 16, 2026, stating its expectation to integrate more live sports into Fandango, aiming to position the service as a competitor to free streaming platforms like Tubi and PlutoTV. The Bundesliga deal marked Fandango's initial significant move into live sports. Earlier, on July 7, 2026, the digital entertainment platform, previously known as Fandango at Home, officially rebranded to "Fandango" to unify its services. The platform, which began nearly two decades ago as Vudu under Walmart's ownership, notified users of this name change via email on July 6, 2026.
