Overview
- Sports Business Journal reports the DAZN rescue deal is all but extinguished, with a rumored last‑minute Fubo bid unconfirmed and disputed by some industry sources.
- Default notices have been sent to Main Street after missed January fees to many of its 13 NBA partners, triggering a 15‑day period to cure while telecasts continue on FanDuel‑branded channels.
- Main Street lost about $200 million in 2025 and still owes roughly $180 million to those NBA teams, as the company seeks new capital and negotiates with stakeholders.
- If no sale closes this month, sources say Main Street plans to wind down after the NBA and NHL seasons, with the NBA and NHL preparing league-run streams and teams lining up over‑the‑air or direct distributor deals to keep games accessible.
- Across MLB, several of the nine clubs tied to Main Street are expected to opt out—Cardinals, Brewers, Reds, Royals, Tigers, Angels and Marlins—with the Braves weighing their options and the Rays inclined to stay, according to SBJ reporting.
