Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN offer tons of movies, shows, and more for us to enjoy on the go and at home! This year, streaming services have been a big focus for the company, and this newest change marks a shift in what your streaming will look like.
Disney may have canceled Venu, a sports streaming service, before it even launched, but Disney is still moving forward with its ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service.

Previously, Disney had announced a sports-related streaming service called Venu, which was ultimately scrapped in early 2025 (after Disney agreed to buy a 70% stake in Fubo — a smaller streaming service that relies heavily on sports content). But during Disney’s 2025 Q1 earnings call, they shared more information about their hopes for the new ESPN service.

You could say that we’re stuck in 2024, in some ways, and that’s especially true now that we just saw the list come out for which TV series and movies were streamed the most for the WHOLE year! It may not surprise you to hear that Disney landed on top of both lists, but what programs hit the number one spot may come as a surprise.
Disney has scrapped its plans for a bundled sports streaming service.
Venu Sports
On Friday, Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery announced that they are scrapping their plans for a bundled sports streamer, citing a need to “meet the evolving demands of sports fans by focusing on existing products and distribution channels.” The now-canceled service was initially planned to show all their game telecasts and studio programs.

It appears that Disney+ is on the up and up financially after finally becoming profitable, but that doesn’t mean all is well with the streaming platform. Disney recently raised subscription prices and has been cracking down on password sharing, upsetting many of its users. However, Disney maximizing profits is not a new phenomenon. Instead, the issue that needs discussing is Disney+’s content quality problem.
