On July 21, 2025, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California appointed DiCello Levitt as Interim Co-Lead Counsel in an antitrust class action lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company. DiCello Levitt, along with Lite DePalma Greenberg & Afanador, represents a proposed class of FuboTV subscribers who allege that Disney engaged in anticompetitive conduct in the market for streaming live pay television (SLPTV) services.
According to the lawsuit, Disney used its control over ESPN and its contracts with SLPTV providers to drive up prices for subscribers of FuboTV, a popular live sports streaming service and competitor. These agreements allegedly required providers to include ESPN in their basic channel packages and prevented Disney from offering lower prices to one provider without matching that price for all others. The plaintiffs argue that these terms allowed Disney to keep prices artificially high for subscribers of FuboTV.
The case is Heather Biddle, et al. v. The Walt Disney Company, No. 5:22-cv-07317 (N.D. Cal.). The DiCello Levitt attorneys involved in this case include Greg Asciolla, Carrie Syme, and Steve Jodlowski.
