Venu Sports History, Coverage, Features

Venu Sports is a sports-focused streaming service in the United States, created through a joint venture by Disney, Fox Corporation, and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Announced in February 2024, the service was scheduled to launch in the latter half of 2024, with each of the three companies holding an equal one-third stake in the venture.

Venu Sports combines the sports broadcast rights held by its parent companies into a single platform, offering a comprehensive array of American national sports content. At the time of its launch, subscribers already had access to major channels including ABC, Fox affiliates, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, FS1, FS2, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPNU, SEC Network, TBS, TNT, TruTV, and ESPN+. The service integrates ESPN+ and provides both linear and digital feeds from these channels, which may be available without a traditional cable subscription.

The platform functions similarly to a virtual MVPD, offering a mix of linear broadcast and cable sports channels. While it excludes regional sports networks and third-party streaming services such as Prime Video and Apple TV+, it offers non-exclusive programming, meaning channels remain accessible through other TV providers and standalone services. Temporary "pop-up channels" are expected to be used occasionally for specific sports events on non-sports networks. Venu Sports is available through a new dedicated app and may potentially be bundled with other over-the-top OTT services.
