The European Commission announced on 22 July 2026 that it has granted approval for the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance Corporation under the EU Merger Regulation. This decision follows a review of the transaction by the Commission.
The regulatory clearance is strictly conditional, requiring Paramount to demonstrate full compliance with specific commitments offered during the merger assessment process. These conditions were established to address potential concerns under European competition law. The Commission’s statement confirms that the acquisition may proceed provided these requirements are fulfilled by the involved parties.
