Live sports are finally moving onto streaming in a serious way, with a new service called Venu Sports set to launch this fall.
This is a joint venture between Disney and Fox (which are part of the same company), as well as Warner Bros. Discovery. It will include 14 live sports channels, including the various ESPN channels, ABC, Fox, and TNT.
That means you’ll be able to watch college football playoffs, March Madness, all four tennis Grand Slams, the World Series, the NBA Finals, and two of the next three Super Bowls in one place. And it’ll cost $42.99 per month — more than most streaming services, but less than a cable package or a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV.
Of course, you’ve been able to watch live sports on streaming before this; many of you have probably been watching the Olympics for the past couple weeks on Peacock. But as whole, sports streaming been fairly patchwork and piecemeal unless you were willing to pay those higher price tags for live TV.
