NFL Urged to Mediate YouTube TV and Disney Dispute Over Monday Night Football Access

Summary

The ongoing dispute between YouTube TV and Disney has left millions without access to Monday Night Football, prompting calls for NFL intervention.

The contract dispute between YouTube TV and Disney has entered its fourth day, resulting in the removal of Disney-owned channels—including ESPN and ABC—from the streaming platform.
