Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery first announced the joint venture earlier this year. It's meant to fill the live sports gap in the streaming space, which is becoming increasingly complex.
With streamers like Amazon's Prime Video, Apple TV Plus, Peacock, Netflix, and Paramount airing games from different leagues, cord-cutters aren't able to get their sports in one place unless they pay for a pricier live TV streaming service like Fubo or Sling TV, both of which come with channels sports fans might not need or want. At $42.99 per month, Venu Sports could serve as a more balanced alternative than its pricier live TV streaming counterparts.
