A federal judge has set a trial date for antitrust lawsuits related to Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The trial is scheduled to begin in March 2027.

This decision represents a setback for Paramount, which had hoped to complete the merger sooner. The trial date was established despite differing proposals from Paramount and a coalition of state attorneys general. Paramount had requested a November start date, while the coalition proposed an April start.
