The service will include content from 15 linear networks and direct-to-consumer sports services, as well as rights to major professional and college sports leagues. The service is expected to be available through a new app or as a bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and/or Max.
The companies claim that the service will offer a differentiated and innovative experience for sports fans, especially those who are not subscribed to traditional pay TV. The service is scheduled to launch in the fall of 2024.
