ESPN and ABC Return to YouTube TV. Here's What Happened | PCMag
November 17, 2025 - (To settle a Fubo lawsuit over the now-defunct Venu sports-streaming service, Disney recently closed a $220 million deal under which it will own 70% of Fubo and Fubo will launch a new service featuring Disney’s sports networks.) Disney told the Associated Press that Google refused to pay a fair rate for valuable content. “With a $3 trillion market cap, Google is using its market dominance to eliminate competition and undercut the industry-standard terms we’ve successfully negotiated with every other distributor." Disney lobbied consumers to complain to YouTube TV. Even ESPN host Scott Van Pelt tweeted a link to a web page offering various ways customers could reach the Google-owned service.

In an e-mail to subscribers on Sunday afternoon, YouTube TV informed its customers that it will offer a $20 bill credit as a result of the company’s ongoing carriage dispute with Disney. The dispute has caused customers to miss out on ESPN’s offerings since the dispute began, with the ESPN-affiliated channels blacked out on YouTube TV.
