ESPN standalone streaming service will cost $29.99 a month
For the very first time, individuals can now opt for an ESPN subscription independently of satellite or cable TV services. The monthly charge will be set at $29.99.
On Tuesday, Disney’s streaming division revealed plans to call its upcoming direct-to-consumer service ESPN, hinting at their belief that streaming is the way forward for sports media giants like themselves. The service is set to debut in the early autumn.
As a devoted sports enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that this exceptional service offers me an uninterrupted stream of all ESPN channels, including ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, and ESPN Deportes. What makes it even more enticing is the ability to stream ESPN productions airing on the ABC broadcast network – think NBA Finals and “Monday Night Football.” It’s like having a sports paradise right at my fingertips!
In addition, you’ll have the option to access this service as part of a combined streaming package. This bundle includes ESPN, Disney+, and Hulu, all priced at just $35.99 per month. For your convenience, during the first year, you can enjoy a special offer with a reduced price of only $29.99 per month.
At a press conference held at Disney’s headquarters in lower Manhattan, ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro stated that it will significantly change the way we conduct business.
As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel exhilarated about the upcoming reveal of our company’s latest offering. While ESPN+ currently provides the channels we crave, it’s only accessible for those with traditional pay-TV subscriptions. But what if there was a game-changing solution just for us? The anticipation is killing me!
In recent times, as younger audiences gravitate towards online streaming platforms, they’ve essentially abandoned the traditional cable world that was once familiar to their elders. Notably, ESPN’s latest streaming service is strategically designed to capture the interest of sports enthusiasts who opt out of purchasing pay television services.

As the audience moves to streaming, TV stations are pressing Washington for relief.
“Our priority is looking at the 60 million households on the sidelines,” Pitaro said.
According to Pitaro, the brand’s name holds significance for younger consumers who engage with it through social media and digital channels, regardless of whether they tune in via cable television.
For many years, ESPN has been accustomed to taking the largest share of cable fees. However, since viewers have been canceling their pay-TV subscriptions, ESPN has suffered the most due to this trend. Yet, they’ve found ways to compensate for the loss in revenue by boosting their ad earnings and reducing expenses.
Under Pitaro’s leadership, ESPN has secured several significant sports broadcasting agreements over the past few years, which he thinks will enhance their streaming service. Notably, last year, they reached an agreement for an 11-year extension to continue airing the NBA.
