(Reuters) -Upcoming streaming services of ESPN and Fox will be bundled for $39.99 per month starting October 2, the companies said on Monday, offering sports fans a wide range of major events including the NFL and NBA at a discounted rate.

The bundle is the first significant deal involving major sports rights holders after Disney, Fox and Warner Bros Discovery abandoned plans to launch their live sports joint venture, Venu Sports, after it ran into substantial legal opposition.
