What is ESPN Plus?

ESPN Plus is a streaming service from ESPN with a huge selection of live games from pro and college sports, including UFC, college football and basketball, international and Major League Soccer, MLB and more. It also has its own original TV series, and your subscription gets you access to exclusive content on ESPN.com.

Cable packages like Spectrum, Verizon and DirecTV don’t include ESPN Plus, so if you want the service’s exclusive coverage, you’re going to have to pay or find a bar that has the event on. (Conversely, ESPN Plus does not include ESPN, ESPN2 and other ESPN channels).

ESPN+ is accessible via the ESPN App on most devices, including Amazon FireAppleAndroidChromecastPlayStationRokuXbox and more.

How much does ESPN Plus cost?

$6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year. The subscription doesn’t include access to certain pay-per-view events, such as UFC 278: Usman vs. Edwards 2. Those events cost extra, but are still exclusive to ESPN+.

If you’re looking to save on a lot of streaming content, the Disney Plus Bundle includes subscriptions to Hulu ($5.99), ESPN Plus ($6.99) and Disney Plus ($7.99) for just $13.99/month. You’re getting one of the services for free when you subscribe to all three.
