FuboTV and Partners Call for Congressional Hearing on New Sports Streaming JV

A coalition led by FuboTV urges Congress to address competition concerns posed by a new joint venture involving Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

FuboTV, alongside Dish Network, DirecTV, and other organizations, has requested a congressional hearing to scrutinize the upcoming sports streaming service.
The joint venture, set to control a significant portion of live sports broadcasts, raises antitrust concerns among competing service providers.
The coalition argues that the venture could monopolize the live sports market, potentially harming consumer choice and competition.
A preliminary injunction hearing for FuboTV's lawsuit against the joint venture is scheduled for August 7.
The new service, targeting 'cord never' households, plans to offer a competitive pricing structure and a vast array of live sports content.
