ESPN announced its price for the direct-to-consumer bundle. The network said that all of its programming will be offered to consumers for $29.99 per month without the requirement of a traditional cable or streaming service. It was also revealed that the ESPN direct-to-consumer bundled with Disney+ and Hulu will be $39.99 per month.

The release date for the direct-to-consumer bundle, which is called “ESPN,” will be announced later this summer. If a fan subscribes to the main ESPN from the standalone ESPN direct-to-consumer, they will receive all the programming from ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, ESPN+ and its college league networks, including the SEC Network and ACC Network.

Existing subscribers of ESPN+ will automatically become subscribers of ESPN’s new service based on their current subscription level. Standalone ESPN+ subscribers get the ESPN select plan, which is $11.99 per month.

“We are providing everything ESPN has to offer directly to fans and all in one place,” ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro said in a press release. “As we thought about the name, we kept returning to the fact that, across every generation, ESPN is the most trusted, loved and recognized name in sports, and that we should keep it simple and double down on the power of ESPN.

Why ESPN is launching a direct-to-consumer bundle

“Our straightforward approach to name and pricing will help fans cut through the clutter, and provide them compelling options to access all our content within the enhanced ESPN App. It will be the ultimate sports destination for personalized experiences and features, and, on top of that, fans will be able to choose to bundle ESPN with the industry-leading Disney+ and Hulu streaming services.”

The ESPN direct-to-consumer bundle will have over 47,000 live events each year. The network has rights for the NFL; NBA; NHL; MLB; WNBA; UFC; UFL; SEC; ACC; Big 12; College Football Playoff; 40 NCAA championships including the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship; LaLiga, Bundesliga, NWSL, and FA Cup soccer; Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open tennis; The Masters, PGA Championship, PGA TOUR, and TGL golf; Little League World Series baseball and softball and Premier Lacrosse League.
