Logo for D23 Expo Disney 013 The Department of Justice is investigating Disney’s deal to take over a controlling interest in FuboTV, multiple outlets including Reuters reported Wednesday.
The DOJ is exploring whether such an acquisition would be a competition concern for streaming networks, with Disney potentially holding too much control over sports streaming.
The deal, which included a $220 million payment from Disney to Fubo as well as a $145 million loan scheduled for next year, came on the heels of a legal challenge from Fubo over another Disney streaming deal and resolved that litigation.
Fubo responded to Reuters, saying it was focused on the regulatory process of the deal. Neither the Justice Department nor Disney responded to Reuters’ request for comment.
Disney had announced in January an intention to merge its Hulu + Live TV umbrella with Fubo to create a larger entity, meant to clear the way for Disney’s sports streaming venture “Venu Sports” alongside Warner Bros. Discovery and Fox Corp.
That effort was eventually discontinued.
“This proposed acquisition raises significant concerns under antitrust law, would give Disney increased market power and incentives to increase costs for viewers and should be regarded as another data point in Disney’s history of anticompetitive behavior,” U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote in February.

Meet the man carrying the hopes of Morocco on his shoulders
It was Argentina’s World Cup in Qatar but before Lionel Messi’s magic moment, the other team to light up the tournament was Morocco. They became the first ever African team to reach the semi-finals, eliminating European heavyweights along the way.In doing so, Morocco were more than just successful, they were a symbol, an inspiration. Their combination of defensive organisation with astonishing intensity made them difficult to play let alone beat. All the more remarkable given the preparation time. Walid Regragui was the coach who made it happen but had only taken charge of his first game less than two months prior to the World Cup. The speed with which he galvanised that group of players was remarkable and a testament to his coaching abilities. "We had only a few months to quickly refocus the players, get them to adapt to […]
