Amazon’s 2026 Trial: FTC’s Antitrust Clash

Amazon to Face Trial in 2026 Amid Antitrust Allegations by U.S. FTC

In a significant move that has drawn widespread attention, Amazon will confront a 2026 trial, addressing an antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The decision was announced by a federal judge on a Tuesday, setting the stage for a legal battle that could have profound implications for the ecommerce giant and the broader digital marketplace. The lawsuit, supported by 17 state attorneys general, accuses Amazon of maintaining an illegal monopoly, particularly by hindering sellers on its platform from offering more competitive prices elsewhere.
