Fox Sports is the Brazilian division of pay television sports channel that was launched on 5 February 2012, replacing the Brazilian variant of Speed. A second channel, Fox Sports 2 was launched on 24 January 2014. On May 6, 2020 Brazil's antitrust regulator CADE announced that Fox Sports and ESPN Brasil would merge with channel being kept for a year until January 1, 2022 due to the channel's broadcast rights and structure in the country.[1]
Disney has confirmed Fox Sports will be rebranded as ESPN4 across South America on 17 January 2022, while Fox Sports 2 will remain on-air in Brazil under that name until at least 29 October 2022, due to contractual language with CONMEBOL regarding its coverage of the 2022 Copa Libertadores.[2]
