Start of CMA Merger Investigation: Anticipated acquisition by Paramount Skydance Corporation of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is considering whether it is or may be the case that this transaction, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation under the merger provisions of the Enterprise Act 2002 and, if so, whether the creation of that merger may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.
The CMA announced the launch of its merger inquiry by notice to the Parties on 9 June 2026 and has a deadline of 7 August 2026 for its phase 1 decision.
