Hulu Bundles: Disney Plus, ESPN Select, and More

Hulu bundles and pricing

Thinking about getting Hulu or upgrading your current plan? Good news: Hulu bundles offer a smart way to save. Instead of juggling multiple streaming bills, you can combine some pretty top-notch services under one subscription.

Our Hulu Deals page highlights notable ways to cut costs, such as combining Hulu with Spotify. But the Disney Bundle stands out as our favorite pick for value, offering combinations of Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN for $12.99–$54.99/mo.

Of course, I wouldn’t write a whole guide like this if the bundling stopped there. You can also pair Hulu with HBO Max or NFL+ for even more content. Plus, Hulu offers add-ons like Live TV for those who want cable-like access, as well as premium channels like STARZ and Paramount+ Premium to expand your viewing options. Keep scrolling for my complete rundown.

Bundling Hulu with Disney Plus and ESPN

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.

*Ads will be served in select live and linear content. There is no ad-free version of ESPN Select.

For $19.99 a month, you get access to on-demand Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN Select. All three services will have ads, but you can remove ads from your Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions by upgrading to the $29.99-a-month Premium bundle.

If you’re not a big sports fan, you can downgrade to just the Disney+ and Hulu bundle, saving money and cutting ESPN Select from the deal entirely. You also can’t mix and match ad-free Disney+ with ad-supported Hulu. Only legacy customers can keep this configuration, but it’s no longer publicly available.

Disney+ is the home to all things Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, National Geographic, and, of course, Disney movies and TV series. You’ve probably heard of Disney+ hit originals like WandaVision and The Mandalorian; if not, welcome back to this alternate universe.

ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited offer live sports (mostly UFC, college sports, and soccer) and a massive library of sports documentaries and ESPN+ exclusive originals. However, it doesn’t act as a full replacement for the ESPN cable channel. Football fans will also appreciate the ability to add NFL+ to the ESPN Unlimited bundles, too.

Bundling Hulu with Disney Plus and HBO Max

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.

*Ads will be served in select live and linear content.

Some newer bundles in the Disney/Hulu-sphere are the Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max bundles. You can get all three of these services with ads for $19.99 a month (not too shabby, considering just ad-free HBO Max is $18.49/mo. itself), or cut the ads for $32.99 a month.

Adding HBO Max to Hulu’s bundling options is a great substitute for non-sports lovers who could pass on ESPN Select but still want another service to supplement Disney+ and Hulu.

Along with HBO classics like The Sopranos and Succession, HBO Max also includes most Discovery+ content, such as favorites from channels like Food Network, HGTV, and TLC. Check out our HBO Max channels guide to learn more about HBO Max’s current offerings.

Bundling Hulu + Live TV with Disney Plus and ESPN Select

Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.

*Ads will be served in select live and linear content. There is no ad-free version of ESPN Select.

The Disney+ bundle deal is also available for Hulu + Live TV, which combines the on-demand catalog of Hulu with 95+ live TV streaming channels.

Hulu + Live TV bundled with Disney+ and ESPN Select costs $89.99 a month with ads and $99.99 a month without. Keep in mind, though, that ESPN Select and the “Live TV” portion of Hulu will still both have ads, so you’re really only paying to remove ads from on-demand Hulu and Disney+.

These plans also come with an ESPN Select hub built into Hulu, which is a huge perk for sports fans like me. I love being able to stream everything within the Hulu app and avoid the sometimes-frustrating ESPN app interface.

Bundling Hulu with premium channels

Since they’re technically add-ons, not bundles, you don’t really save any money by subscribing to premium channels through Hulu—it is convenient, though. Hulu offers the following premium and channel package add-ons:

• Paramount+ Premium: $12.99/mo.
• STARZ: $10.99/mo.
• CINEMAX: $9.99/mo.
• Entertainment Add-on (15 channels): $7.99/mo.
• Español Add-on (9 channels): $4.99/mo.
• Sports Add-on (7 channels): $9.99/mo.

Bundling Hulu through third-party billing

If you already have Hulu, but you’re paying for it through a third party (like Roku, Spotify, or T-Mobile), you’d have to cancel that account to be eligible for Hulu bundles.

Those who already subscribe to Hulu or Disney+ directly can sign up for the bundle. ESPN Select and HBO Max subscribers can also do this, but they must contact Disney+ to make the switch (not cool).

The exception to the third-party billing rule is Verizon Wireless. Some Verizon Unlimited plans include the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN Select bundle at no extra charge, and is available to both new and current customers.
