ESPN+ offers a single standalone subscription, available at $11.99/mo. or $119.99/yr.. Both payment options include the same live events, original shows, and on-demand content. You’ll also see ads, mostly during live commercial breaks, similar to what you’d expect on cable TV.
For households with mixed streaming tastes, the Disney Bundle Trio (starting at $16.99/mo.) is a smart alternative. It combines ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu into one well-rounded package that’s perfect for enjoying live sports along with hits like Bluey, Moana, American Idol, and The Handmaid’s Tale.
Of course, bundling isn’t for everyone. ESPN+ might be all that you’re after, so here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to sign up. You can also keep scrolling for more insights on ESPN+ deals, user feedback, and features.
How do I sign up for ESPN+?
The ESPN+ sign-up process is simple, and it won’t take you long to start watching.
- Go to the ESPN+ website or download and open the ESPN app on your preferred device.
- Select “Subscribe to ESPN+ only” or “Get Bundle,” depending on the plan you want.
- Log in or create a MyDisney account. (You might already have one if you’ve signed up for any ABC, Disney Parks, Marvel, or Star Wars subscriptions.)
- Pick your ESPN+ plan, enter your billing info, and confirm your subscription.
- Start streaming!
ESPN+ deals and promotions
ESPN+ offers a few smart ways to save money. First, it’s important to point out that the annual plan costs $119.99/yr., which saves you $23.89 per year compared to paying monthly.
You can also bundle ESPN+ with Hulu and Disney+ for as low as $16.99 a month. That’s almost $15 in monthly savings versus subscribing to each service separately.
Prefer a full-fledged live TV plan? Hulu + Live TV’s ad-supported and ad-free plans ($82.99–$95.99/mo.) include ESPN+ and Disney+ at no extra charge. That means you’ll get everything the Disney Trio Bundle offers and 95+ live channels, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, and ESPNU.
Looking to try ESPN+ for free?
ESPN+ doesn’t offer a free trial, but that doesn’t mean you’re totally out of luck. If you sign up for Hulu + Live TV’s three-day free trial, you’ll get access to ESPN+ along with Disney+ and those 95+ live TV channels.
Check out our ESPN+ Free Trial guide for tips on how to make the most of that trial, plus other ways to score ESPN+ access.
What real customers say about ESPN+
Sports fans have mostly positive feelings about the ESPN+ experience. In our 2025 Customer Satisfaction Survey, ESPN+ earned an overall satisfaction rating of 77%. Users praised its live sports coverage, original content, and reasonable price. But they also flagged a few issues, including connection problems, regional blackouts, and the lack of traditional ESPN channels.
Here’s a sampling of what real ESPN+ subscribers had to say:
“We get ESPN+ as part of a bundle, so the price is reasonable. It is nice to have when other services don't carry a game.”
“Sometimes it takes a while for it not to be blurry or lagging. Every once in a while, it will freeze in the middle of watching something.”
These opinions echo our own findings at CableTV.com. In my full ESPN+ review, I named ESPN+ the Best Bang For Your Buck service for sports, highlighting many of the same pros and cons. It’s a great fit for fans of college sports, UFC, NHL, and international soccer. But if you’re hoping to stream ESPN’s main cable channels, you’ll come away disappointed.

ESPN+ features and user experience at a glance
ESPN+ landed in the middle of the pack for user experience in our most recent Customer Satisfaction Survey. Features like the ones below are solid perks for sports fans, but some are only available on specific devices. Also, common streaming features like user profiles and a watchlist option are completely missing.
Simultaneous streams
ESPN+ allows up to five simultaneous streams. Whether you’re sharing your account with family or just multitasking between devices, it’s a nice perk. Keep in mind, though, ESPN+ caps UFC PPVs at two simultaneous streams.
Hide live scores
Want to open the ESPN app without scoreline spoilers? ESPN+ lets you toggle off live scores for select events in the app settings. It’s a small but thoughtful feature that’s perfect when you’re catching up on replays.
Multicast (Apple TV and Xbox only)
One of ESPN+’s most underrated features is its Multicast option, which allows you to stream up to four live events at once. It’s only available on Apple TV and Xbox devices, but it’s perfect for those crowded sports days when flipping between games just won’t cut it.
Spanish-language broadcasts
ESPN+ includes a growing library of Spanish-language content and broadcasts. You’ll find it across select soccer matches, MMA fights, and on-demand shows. Availability varies by event, but it’s nice to have the option if you prefer sports en Español.
ESPN+ FAQ
What does ESPN+ include?
ESPN+ gives you access to thousands of live events from a wide range of sports leagues and competitions, including the NHL, Bundesliga, PGA Tour, UFC, and more. It also includes exclusive studio shows, ESPN+ Originals, the entire 30 for 30 film library, and premium articles from top ESPN writers.
What is the cheapest way to get ESPN+?
The most affordable way to get ESPN+ on its own is with the monthly plan ($11.99/mo.). But if you’re in it for the long run, the annual plan ($119.99/yr.) saves you about 20% per year. You can also get ESPN+ through bundles like the Disney Bundle Trio, which is a better value if you also want Disney+ and Hulu.
Can I cancel ESPN+ anytime?
Yes, you can cancel ESPN+ whenever you want and still keep access until the end of your billing cycle. Just log on to a computer or mobile browser and visit your account page to manage your subscription.
Can restaurants stream ESPN+?
Yes, ESPN+ for Business is available to bars, restaurants, and other commercial venues through DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS. To learn about your pricing options, you can contact distributor Joe Hand Promotions at 1-866-649-6166.
