Venu Sports, set to become a major streaming platform for NTT IndyCar Series in 2025, is currently facing a significant obstacle in launching its new mega-streaming bundle. The $42.99/month package, featuring 14 channels including major networks like ABC, ESPN, and FOX, was scheduled to debut at the end of August. However, a lawsuit filed by FuboTV has resulted in a favorable injunction, delaying Venu Sports’ plans. The injunction, issued by Judge Margaret M. Garnett, suggests the joint venture between ESPN, FOX, and Warner Bros. Discovery could potentially violate antitrust laws. As a result, IndyCar fans seeking to watch races online may find themselves in a state of uncertainty until the legal matter is resolved. Despite the setback, Venu Sports remains confident in its position as a pro-competitive option with the aim of expanding consumer choices in the streaming landscape.
