U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett, who in August granted FuboTV’s motion for a preliminary injunction to bar Walt Disney, ESPN, Fox, Warner Bros. Discovery and Hulu from moving forward with their sports-centric streaming platform dubbed Venu Sports, denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss the lawsuit on Monday.

The ruling, which followed the parties’ oral argument held before Garnett last Friday, was expected since Garnett previously expressed skepticism toward the defendants’ arguments when she issued the injunction. The parties have been ordered to complete fact discovery by March, and the case is currently scheduled for a three-to-four-week trial in the fall of 2025.
