FuboTV has initiated a $1 billion lawsuit against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery, aiming to obstruct their upcoming sports streaming service. This legal action, filed under seal with expectations of a redacted version to be made public soon, alleges antitrust violations by the media conglomerates. FuboTV accuses the trio of forcing it to carry 'unwanted, expensive content,' thereby engaging in anticompetitive practices. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the launch of the joint venture between ESPN, Warner, and Fox, which was scheduled to premiere this fall. The complaint underscores FuboTV's contention that the planned service, referred to by some as 'Spulu,' represents a years-long campaign to block FuboTV's sports-first streaming business.
