The service is still on track to launch this fall in the U.S., and will bring together Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery’s portfolios of sports networks into one place.

Earlier this spring, two U.S. Representatives shared concerns about the joint streaming venture, and had sent a letter to the companies’ CEOs to ask questions about its competitive implications. In February, Fubo, a “sports-first” streaming service, filed a lawsuit against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery over their joint venture, seeking to block the launch of the service and obtain monetary damages.
