If you’ve just installed the FuboTV app on your smart TV or a streaming device like a Roku or Amazon Fire Stick, you’ll be asked to activate it before you can start watching. This process, often referred to as “activating your Fubo link,” is a secure and user-friendly method to connect the app on your TV to your paid FuboTV account.
Instead of forcing you to type your email and a complex password with a clunky TV remote, the system uses a simpler method. Your TV displays a unique code, and you use a separate device—like your phone or computer—to visit a specific web link fubo.tv/link7 and enter that code. This guide will walk you through every step of the process.
Understanding the Activation Link and Code
The FuboTV activation process is a two-part system designed for security and convenience.
- The Activation Code: This is a temporary, alphanumeric code that appears on your TV screen when you first open the FuboTV app and choose to sign in. It acts as a unique, one-time identifier for your TV.
- The Activation Link: This is the specific website you need to visit on your phone, tablet, or computer to complete the process. The official FuboTV activation link is: fubo.tv/link.
By entering the code from your TV at this web link, you create a secure connection, authorising that specific television or streaming device to access your FuboTV account without ever needing you to type your password directly onto the TV.
Step-by-Step Guide to Activating Your FuboTV Link
Follow these simple steps to get your device linked and ready for streaming.
- Install and Open the FuboTV App: First, ensure the FuboTV app is installed on your smart TV or streaming device. Launch the app.
- Select “Sign In” to Get Your Code: Navigate to and select the “Sign In” option. The screen will then display your unique activation code. Keep your TV on this screen.
- Visit the Activation Link on a Second Device: Now, pick up your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Open a web browser (such as Chrome, Safari, or Firefox) and type the following address into the URL bar: fubo.tv/connect.
- Enter the Code: The webpage will have a single box prompting you to enter your code. Carefully type the code displayed on your TV screen into this box and click “Submit” or “Continue.”
- Log In to Your FuboTV Account: After the website validates your code, it will ask you to sign in with your FuboTV account credentials (your email address and password). This is the final step to verify your identity.
- Confirmation and Streaming: Once you successfully log in on your second device, a confirmation message will appear. At the same time, your TV screen will automatically refresh. The activation code will disappear, and you will be logged into your FuboTV account, ready to browse and watch live sports and entertainment.

Troubleshooting Activation Issues
If the link activation doesn’t work on the first try, here are some common solutions:
- Invalid Code Error: The code on your TV screen is time-sensitive and will expire. If you see this error, simply go back on the TV app to generate a new, fresh code and use that one.
- Web Link Not Working: Double-check that you have typed the URL correctly: fubo.tv/connect. Avoid any typos or using .com at the end.
- TV Screen Doesn’t Update: If you’ve completed the steps but your TV is still showing the code, close the FuboTV app on your television, restart it, and begin the process again.
