What Is ESPN+ (ESPN Plus)

Great news sports fans! ESPN+ launched on April 12, 2018. Here is a quick overview of what is ESPN+.

What Is ESPN+

ESPN+ is a streaming subscription service for live sporting events, original shows and films, studio programs, and an on-demand library.

For those of you who have waited and hoped for an ESPN stand-alone streaming channel, that is not ESPN+. ESPN+ will not provide coverage of the most popular sports now covered on ESPN such as NCAA football, NCAA basketball, NBA, and Monday Night Football.

ESPN+ is a “plus” service addition to the regular ESPN programming. ESPN+ will include live programming that is not available on current ESPN channels. Look for ESPN+ to provide coverage of sports such as cricket, tennis, soccer, rugby, boxing, hockey, and some college sports.

Cord Cutters who want to stream the “big” sporting events on ESPN will still need a subscription to a streaming package service like Hulu, Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, or fuboTV.

The regular price of ESPN+ is $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year.
