The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority said Friday that it has decided not to refer BT Group PLC's sports joint venture with Warner Bros. Discovery to a Phase 2 investigation.

The regulator said on June 1 that it would look into whether the deal may result in a substantial lessening of competition.

BT said on May 12 that it had finalized the sports joint venture in the U.K. and Ireland with Warner Bros. Discovery.
