Examining the Sports Broadcasting Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust will hold a hearing on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET. The hearing, "Examining the Sports Broadcasting Act," will discuss the Sports Broadcasting Act (SBA) of 1961 and its effect on the modern broadcast market for major sports leagues, particularly looking at the ways in which the distribution of professional sports has evolved since the SBA was first enacted 65 years ago. It will also examine the extent to which the antitrust exemption created by the SBA has been used by the professional sports leagues to harm consumers and whether potential legislative remedies may be needed to address that harm.
