ESPN Unlimited: Details and Plans for Direct-to-Consumer Sports Product

ESPN is gearing up to unveil its latest offering, the ESPN direct-to-consumer product. The launch is in the pipeline, expected before the end of August to coincide with the start of football season. Exciting stuff, right?

Now, let’s talk plans. ESPN is rolling out two options to cater to different preferences — unlimited and select. The unlimited plan is a treasure trove, offering a whopping 47,000 live events yearly along with all your favorite ESPN content, including ESPN+, SEC Network, ACC Network, and more. On the other hand, the select plan is more streamlined, focusing on ESPN+ content.

But wait, there’s more! ESPN is planning to up its game by integrating the NFL Network into the mix as part of their recent deal with the NFL. A win-win for football lovers out there!

Curious about subscriptions? Well, ESPN+ currently boasts around 25 million subscribers who will seamlessly transition to the new ESPN at their current subscription levels. Plus, existing subscribers of ESPN through traditional MVPD or the ESPN unlimited plan will gain access to new features on the ESPN App at no extra cost.

Let’s break down the nitty-gritty of the two plans:

Unlimited
– Monthly subscription: $29.99
– Annual subscription: $299.99
– Disney+, Hulu, ESPN unlimited bundle: $35.99/month (with ads on Disney+/Hulu), $44.99/month (ad-free)
– Special launch offer: Disney+, Hulu, ESPN unlimited bundle at $29.99/month for the first 12 months (with ads on Disney+/Hulu)

Exciting news for DirecTV streaming and “My Sports” subscribers as they’ll have access to these plans right off the bat. And for those satellite and U-Verse customers, fret not, as you’ll get a free upgrade later this fall. Oh, and if you happen to own a DirecTV Gemini device and subscribe to the Signature package, you’re in for a treat with the Disney+ and Hulu bundle at no additional cost.

So, gear up, sports fans! With these new ESPN plans on the horizon, it’s going to be a game-changer for your sports entertainment needs.
