ESPNΓÇÖs long-awaited new standalone streaming service will launch on August
21, alongside an overhauled ESPN app that gives users a "more personalized,
dynamic viewing experience." Simply (and potentially confusingly) called
ESPN, the new platform arrives just ahead of the new NFL season and the US
Open tennis competition, as well as a number of other returning sports that
ESPN broadcasts.

ESPNΓÇÖs streaming service will be offered with a choice of two plans. The
$30 per month ($300 annually) "unlimited" offering includes access to all of
ESPNΓÇÖs linear networks, as well as ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and
ACCNX. With this plan, youΓÇÖll have access to all of ESPNΓÇÖs live events,
on-demand content and original documentaries, and if you bundle it with
Disney+ and Hulu youΓÇÖll pay nothing extra for the first 12 months. This is
a launch offer, so no guarantees itΓÇÖll apply for long.

The alternative is ESPNΓÇÖs "select" plan, which costs $12 per month ($120
per year) and includes access to all content on ESPN+, the companyΓÇÖs other
streaming subscription service that will continue to operate beyond the
arrival of the new platform. ESPN says existing ESPN+ subscribers will
automatically be put onto an ESPN select plan.

ESPN also announced today that it has agreed a deal to exclusively broadcast
all WWE Premium Live Events in the US, from 2026. All WWE PLEs will stream on
ESPNΓÇÖs new platform, with major events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and
the Royal Rumble available to watch in their entirety. YouΓÇÖll be able to
stream 2026ΓÇÖs NFL Draft, as well as a new daily show dedicated to the
draft.

Alongside the new streaming service, ESPN has also redesigned its app to
offer a more personalized experience. New features include an updated
multiview screen, integrated game stats, betting information and built-in
fantasy sports management.
