The upcoming sports streaming service from Disney/ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros. is officially called Venu Sports, and it's still on track to launch this fall in the U.S.
Via The Walt Disney Company, Venu Sports' CEO, Pete Distad, shared a message in celebration of the news while revealing a few more details as to what we can expect from the streaming service. The logo was also unveiled, which you can see below.
"We are excited to officially introduce Venu Sports, a brand that we feel captures the spirit of an all-new streaming home where sports fans outside of the traditional pay TV eco-system can experience an incredible collection of live sports, all in one place,” Distad said. “As preparations for the platform continue to accelerate, we are singularly focused on delivering a best-in-class product for our target audience, built from the ground up using the latest technologies to engage and entertain discerning sports fans wanting one-stop access to live games.”
Venu Sports aims to bring together ESPN, Fox, and Warner Bros.' portfolios of sports networks alongside ESPN+ under one roof so fans can watch all the major professional sports leagues and college sports with ease.
This includes the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, Formula 1, the World Cup, and more. These leagues and more will still live on many of the channels they currently do, with the idea being that Venu Sports will gather them all in one place rather than trying to sift through countless subscriptions and TV channels.
Some of the available channels on Venu include:
- ESPN
- ESPN2
- ESPNU
- SECN
- ACCN
- ESPNEWS
- ABC
- FOX
- FS1
- FS2
- Big Ten Network
- TNT
- TBS
- truTV
Venu doesn't seem to have everything at the moment, however, as it is currently lacking such popular programming as NBC's Sunday Night Football and Premier League soccer. What it will have is the ability for those interested to bundle Venu with other services like Disney+, Hulu, or Max.
What we're still waiting on, however, is the price point. According to Yahoo! Finance, Wall Street has estimated a price of around $40-$50 per month, but that hasn't yet been confirmed.
