These two are combining in a massive deal that also settles some legal drama. Both services let you watch live TV and cable networks on your favorite devices.

So, what's the big deal? David Gandler, Fubo's CEO, says it's all about giving customers more choices and flexibility. Plus, it's a smart move for Fubo's financial health. Disney's chipping in with a loan and a termination fee that could reach $130 million.

But here's where it gets even more interesting. Disney's also cutting a new deal with Fubo. This deal means Fubo can create a new sports and broadcast service featuring Disney's big networks like ABC, ESPN, and more. Now, you might be wondering about that legal battle over Venu Sports.
