Disney touts new sports streaming platform ESPN at $30 a month

  • Disney announced today in New York that it will launch a new flagship sports streaming service called ESPN this fall.
  • The launch follows the collapse of the joint Venu Sports venture involving Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Fox, which ended amid legal disputes earlier this year.
  • ESPN will offer two subscription tiers at launch: an Unlimited plan for $29.99 monthly providing access to all ESPN content, and a Select plan for $11.99 focused on ESPN+ content.
  • ESPN's chairman James Pitaro emphasized the brand’s power and trust, noting the platform will feature about 47,000 live events annually to engage both hardcore and casual sports fans.
  • The new streamer aims to boost Disney's subscriber base amid cord-cutting challenges and an overcrowded streaming sector, with linear ESPN subscribers gaining automatic access to the app-based service.
