ESPN Unlimited Will Get Its First Price Increase, Alongside ESPN Select and Disney Bundle
ESPN prices go up on September 17
Just about a year ago, ESPN overhauled its existing subscription system. ESPN+ became ESPN Select, and the streamer introduced a new tier called ESPN Unlimited for sports fans seeking the full ESPN experience.
But now it’s time for ESPN’s yearly price increase. And both plans are getting in on the fun. ESPN Select’s new price is $13.99/mo., and ESPN Unlimited’s new price is $31.99/mo. Both changes will go into effect for current subscribers on September 17, 2026.

ESPN prices: then vs. now
The new ESPN prices are already live for new customers. But if you already subscribed to an ESPN plan before August 20, 2026, you’ll see the new prices on your first bill after September 17, 2026.
Here’s what you can expect:
ESPN monthly prices
| New price | Old price | ESPN+ content | ESPN channels | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESPN Select | $13.99/mo. | $12.99/mo. | ✔ | — |
| ESPN Unlimited | $31.99/mo. | $29.99/mo. | ✔ | ✔ |
ESPN annual prices
| New price | Old price | ESPN+ content | ESPN channels | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESPN Select | $139.99/yr. | $129.99/yr. | ✔ | — |
| ESPN Unlimited | $319.99/yr. | $299.99/yr. | ✔ | ✔ |
Both of ESPN’s annual prices are also getting a price hike. But it’s not an unreasonable one. They follow the same rule of thumb as most streaming services’ annual plans: the same as ten payments of the monthly price.
The Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited bundle will be staying the same amid the price changes, but the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Select bundle will also be increasing by $2–$3/mo. depending on the plan.
The other parts of the Disney Bundle — Disney+ and Hulu — will likely get their own price increase this October, if Disney follows its own trends.
So keep an eye out, and we’ll report when the next streaming service gets a price hike. It’s probably coming sooner than you think.
