FanDuel TV’s Continued Growth

FanDuel TV has been expanding rapidly. The network recently entered into a naming rights agreement with Diamond Sports, rebranding several regional sports networks under the FanDuel Sports Network banner. However, the deal does not involve FanDuel producing content for these networks.

FanDuel TV has also broadened its reach beyond traditional cable, now encompassing:

• FanDuel TV, the cable channel formerly known as TVG.
• FanDuel TV+, an OTT platform.
• FanDuel TV Extra, a free ad-supported television (FAST) channel that launched in May.
