If you're looking for all of your favorite sports in one place, ESPN+ is the app for you. This streaming service is home to the world's most comprehensive library of live sports, original content, and sports-related documentaries, and you can watch it all for a single monthly payment of $9.99. But how do you log into your account? Is it compatible on your device? No matter what questions you have about ESPN+, this guide has the answers.
How much does ESPN+ cost?
ESPN+ doesn't offer a free trial and the price of a monthly subscription just increased, so you can now sign up for a standalone ESPN+ account for $9.99 per month, or you can bundle it with Disney+ and Hulu for just $13.99 per month (opens in new tab). Alternatively, the Disney Bundle is also available with ad-free Hulu for $19.99 per month.
Both of these options come with no long-term commitment required and you can cancel at any time. Additionally, there are no differences in the amount of content shown between either option; it simply depends on whether you find it valuable to also have access to the Disney+ and Hulu services.
That being said, it's worth noting that the price of the above version of the Disney+ Bundle is set to increase to $14.99 per month starting on December 8th. There is also a new "Basic" plan being added to the three services on the same date. This version of the Disney+ Bundle will be $9.99 per month and will come with the ad-supported versions of Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu.
