Main Street Sports Group sues Comcast and Charter over alleged licensing fee shortfalls

Main Street Sports Group, which ceased operations after an unsuccessful buyer search, has initiated legal action against Comcast and Charter in Delaware Superior Court, asserting that both cable distributors underpaid licensing fees for FanDuel Sports Network programming. The filings allege Comcast missed payments for the period from January 1 to May 7 2026, while Charter’s alleged shortfalls span from February 2025 through May 2026.

Main Street contends these deficiencies directly harmed the sports franchises it served, contributing to its inability to meet rights payments. Comcast’s spokesperson said the lawsuit is under seal and offered no comment; Charter failed to reply in time. The lawsuits are heavily redacted, obscuring the precise financial terms. The dispute follows Main Street’s collapse earlier this year after it shut down operations post-NHL playoffs.
