Tubi leads top ten US FAST services list

Parks Associates released its first Top Ten US FAST Services list, with research showing Tubi, The Roku Channel, and Pluto TV in the top three positions, as the free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) market shows continued momentum in subscriber growth and engagement.

“FAST services are no longer a secondary viewing option, they are a central part of the streaming landscape,” said Michael Goodman, Director, Entertainment Research, Parks Associates. “The gap between leaders like Tubi and the rest of the market underscores the importance of content breadth, distribution partnerships, and user experience in driving viewer engagement.”

The analyst firm's quarterly surveys of 8,000 US internet households find 46% of US internet households regularly use FAST services to watch long-form video content. With advertisers following audiences into FAST environments, the sector is poised for continued growth through 2026 and beyond.
