Overview

• U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett denied motions by Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery to dismiss FuboTV's antitrust lawsuit over the planned Venu Sports streaming service.
• The lawsuit alleges that the proposed platform, which would consolidate live sports content from major networks, would harm competition and lead to higher consumer prices.
• FuboTV secured a preliminary injunction in August 2024, temporarily blocking the launch of Venu Sports, which was initially planned for fall 2024 at $42.99 per month.
• The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will hold a hearing on January 6, 2025, to review the injunction, with a decision expected in the following weeks or months.
• A trial is scheduled for October 2025, but the timeline could change if the parties settle or appeals result in further rulings before the trial begins.
