NEW YORK—FuboTV Inc. has filed an antitrust lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company, Fox Corp., Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. and their affiliates, alleging that the three media giants have engaged in a years-long campaign to block Fubo’s sports-first streaming business resulting in significant harm to both Fubo and consumers. The complaint alleges that the forthcoming launch of a sports-streaming joint venture is the latest example of this campaign.
Fubo TV initially raised antitrust issues shortly after Disney, Fox and WBD announced plans to launch a massive sports streaming services in the fall of 2024 and has now followed up on those complaints with a wide ranging antitrust lawsuit. It claims that the defendants have engaged in a long-running pattern of stymying Fubo’s sports-first streaming service by engaging in anti-competitive practices.
