Hughes Subsidiaries File Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Hughes Satellite Systems Corporation and several U.S. subsidiaries, including Hughes Network Systems, LLC, filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on 2026-08-03 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division). The filing seeks to facilitate financial and operational reorganization to address maturing secured and unsecured debt, strengthen capital structure, and accelerate a shift toward enterprise, government, and defense business. Hughes said it will continue serving customers, seek customary first-day orders to maintain ordinary-course operations, and use existing cash while negotiating with bondholders and stakeholders on a reorganization plan. EchoStar Corporation, Hughes’ international subsidiaries, and EchoStar’s non-Hughes businesses (including DISH TV, Sling TV, and Boost Mobile) are not part of the Chapter 11 proceedings. Legal counsel and advisors named include White & Case LLP, FTI Consulting, and claims agent Epiq Corporate Restructuring.
