Venu Sports, the new streaming joint venture of Walt Disney Co. , Warner Bros. Discovery and Fox Corp. , has finally revealed what will qualify subscribers.
$42. 99 consistent with the month.
The service will have a seven-day free trial, the joint venture announced Thursday.
Set to launch in the fall, the offering will provide fans with the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB and other sports that all three partners broadcast on their linear television channels.
The objective of the platform, announced in February, is to offer a destination that attracts young sports lovers who avoid classic pay television subscriptions.
Fox Corp. Chairman Lachlan Murdoch said the pool of potential consumers is 60 million U. S. families connected to cable or satellite television.
The three classic media corporations have joined forces to compete with deep-pocketed tech corporations that spend heavily to offer live sports on their streaming services.
Netflix recently announced that it has acquired the rights to two NFL Christmas games in 2024, and at least one over the next two seasons. Amazon’s Prime Video just landed a series of NBA games as part of the league’s upcoming media rights deal.
Pete Distad is the CEO of Venu Sports and previously worked at Apple and Hulu.
