Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On June 12, 2026, upon the completion of an evaluation process in consideration of a potential audit firm rotation, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of News Corporation (the “Company”) selected Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2028, subject to completion of Deloitte’s standard client acceptance procedures and execution of an engagement letter. Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the Company’s current independent registered public accounting firm, will continue in this capacity for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026 and is expected to continue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. As a result, EY will be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective upon completion of the audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

EY’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and the subsequent interim period through June 12, 2026, there were: (i) no “disagreements” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions between the Company and EY on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to EY’s satisfaction, would have caused EY to make reference thereto in its reports; and (ii) no “reportable events” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has requested that EY furnish a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of EY’s letter, dated June 12, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025 and the subsequent interim period through June 12, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Deloitte regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any “reportable event” within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
