DISH DBS Corporation’s Chapter 11 case was closed on November 2, 2026, after its prepackaged plan became effective on October 1. The final decree Dkt. 1913 leaves Sling TV Purchasing’s case open to resolve remaining DBS matters; professional fee applications are generally due November 16, subject to the later retention-order deadline stated in the effectiveness notice Dkt. 1689.
DISH DBS Corporation’s Chapter 11 case was closed on November 2, 2026, after the company completed its prepackaged restructuring. The final decree Dkt. 1913 leaves Sling TV Purchasing L.L.C.’s case open as a standalone proceeding to administer and resolve remaining DBS matters. Sling TV Purchasing must continue filing quarterly post-confirmation reports until that case closes.
DISH DBS, the satellite television business, filed for Chapter 11 on June 30, 2026, with a plan and prepetition creditor support. The restructuring support agreement Dkt. 7 contemplated refinancing $11.75 billion of funded debt obligations and pursuing Chapter 11 if needed to bind specified noteholders to indenture amendments.
The court confirmed the DBS plan on September 29, and the effectiveness notice Dkt. 1689 reports that it became effective and was substantially consummated on October 1. Under the confirmed plan Dkt. 1604, the impaired noteholder classes receive amended notes for unpaid principal and cash for specified interest and other amounts, while general unsecured claims and equity interests are reinstated. The plan provides for quarterly redemptions of amended 2028 secured notes from available cash beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2027; potential recoveries from DISH Wireless intercompany claims may provide an additional source for optional redemptions.
Professional fee claims are due by the later of November 16, 2026, or 45 days after entry of the applicable professional’s retention order, according to the effectiveness notice Dkt. 1689. Remaining DBS matters are to be resolved in the open Sling TV Purchasing case under the plan and confirmation order.
