Step right up, Disney fans, and get ready for the most exciting news in sports streaming! A powerhouse trio—Fox Corp., the Walt Disney Co., and Warner Bros. Discovery—is coming together to bring you a groundbreaking service. Say hello to “Venu Sports,” your new go-to platform for all things sports, set to launch this fall.
In an announcement buzzing with excitement, the three media titans revealed that Venu Sports will be a direct-to-consumer service. It will boast an impressive lineup that includes ESPN channels, ABC, Fox, and its cable sports channels, as well as Warner Bros. Discovery’s TNT, truTV, and TBS. What a lineup, right? It’s a dream come true for sports enthusiasts!
Fox Corp. Chairman Lachlan Murdoch noted that the target audience includes the 60 million U.S. households that have said goodbye to traditional cable and satellite TV. If you’re a younger sports fan, this platform has you covered with access to NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, and many more exciting sports broadcasts.
The price point? While it’s still under wraps, insiders hint it might hover around $50 per month—quite a deal compared to typical pay TV subscriptions.
But that’s not all! The move also signals a daring strategy by traditional media to stand tall against tech giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime, who are throwing their hats into the sports broadcasting ring. Just this week, Netflix nabbed the rights to stream two NFL Christmas games in 2024, among others. Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video is set to secure a major NBA games package in the upcoming league media rights deal.
