ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery have announced that the three companies will soon launch a sports streaming service in the United States in the fall of this year.
This platform will offer sporting events from networks that the three companies own, including NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, NASCAR, College Sports, UFC, PGA TOUR Golf, Grand Slam Tennis, the FIFA World Cup, and Cycling, as well as access to linear sports networks from these companies, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV, and ESPN+.
According to the press release, the three companies will reveal the name and the pricing of this streaming service later this year. It will be available in a standalone app, and people will also be able to subscribe to it with Disney+, Hulu, and/or Max. It is also worth mentioning that each company will own one-third of the service.
While this platform comes as great news for sports lovers, the upcoming service is by no means a one-stop-shop for them as it will not offer a few other sporting events, including Football (owned by Amazon), Major League Soccer (owned by Apple), Sunday Night Football (owned by NBC), and NFL (owned by Paramount).
