Fubo, a sports streaming service, has filed a lawsuit against Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery, accusing them of blocking its innovation and stealing its playbook for their own sports streaming platform.

The company is seeking to block or limit the new venture and obtain economic parity in licensing terms, as well as damages. The new platform is expected to launch at a significantly lower cost than Fubo's offerings.
