What efforts did Monumental Sports Network make to keep programming accessible to DMV fans on Google’s YouTube TV and Disney’s Hulu + Live TV?

Thu, 2 Oct, 2025 at 4:48 PM

Monumental offered both distributors significant economic concessions to keep our programming accessible to fans across the DMV. Despite our extensive efforts and willingness to compromise, Google YouTube TV and Disney’s Hulu + Live TV ultimately chose to drop Monumental Sports Network, making clear they never intended to reach an agreement and stating they are not in the local sports business. Regardless of what has been said publicly, both YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV made it clear there was no deal to be made under any financial terms. 


Monumental Sports Network is consistently among the most popular content providers in the D.C. market. We will never stop fighting for our fans and for fair, widespread access to local sports.   Let us be clear: our priority is protecting access for fans, not securing better financial terms.
