Fubo claims Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery hold unfair advantage in streaming competition

Fubo has filed a brief arguing that the joint venture Venu Sports, backed by Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery, would harm competition in the streaming market. Fubo claims the venture has an unfair advantage by offering exclusive sports content without requiring non-sports channels. A federal appeals court is reviewing a lower court's decision that initially sided with Fubo, blocking Venu from launching. Fubo's brief highlights a non-compete agreement among the media companies and their significant control over live sports rights in the U.S. The case has attracted attention due to the changing landscape of pay-TV and streaming. Fubo's main complaint is set to go to trial next October, regardless of the appeal's outcome.
