And if it’s not feasible to purchase some, if not all, of the streaming services to catch games this season, fans will have another option to watch sports soon.
In February, the Fox Corporation announced a partnership with fellow media titans Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery for a new joint sports streaming platform.
The unnamed platform will streamline sports content that airs on the networks owned by the three companies, including ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, and truTV.
