Disney, Fox And Warner Bros. Discovery Team On Sports Streaming Venture

Disney, Fox Sports and Warner Bros. Discovery are teaming up for a sports streaming venture.

Those talks are in part an acknowledgement of increasing pressure being applied by deep-pocketed tech companies taking a closer look at the sports sector. Amazon has locked up long-term rights to NFL Thursday Night Football and also streams Major League Baseball and a number of other live sports on Prime Video. Netflix has been making moves in the live arena and is tiptioeing toward major sports, the most recent sign being a 10-year, $5 billion deal for the WWE’s sports-adjacent Raw franchise.
