FuboTV's Antitrust Lawsuit Against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery Set for October 2025

The trial will address allegations that the media giants' planned sports-streaming service, Venu, would unfairly dominate the market.

  • U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett has scheduled the trial to begin on October 6, 2025, with an expected duration of three to four weeks.
  • FuboTV filed the lawsuit in February, claiming that Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery's Venu Sports would monopolize sports streaming and harm competition.
  • A preliminary injunction has already halted the launch of Venu Sports, which was initially planned for August 23, 2024.
  • The Justice Department is also investigating the Venu deal due to concerns about its potential impact on competition and consumer prices.
  • Discovery for the trial will delve into the media companies' carriage negotiations, potentially revealing long-private details of the pay-TV business.
