ESPN, Fox and Warner Bros join to launch sports streaming service

Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. are joining forces to launch a sports-focused streaming service that will feature major college and pro games usually seen only on traditional TV.

The service will be one-third owned by each company. Pricing and a name for the service have yet to be determined. They expect to launch the new service by fall 2024, according to a statement Tuesday.

With the announcement, three legacy media giants are taking their biggest, most-expensive sports programming online.
