ESPN’s 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.
ESPN’s streaming service will be offered with a choice of two plans. The $30 per month ($300 annually) "unlimited" offering includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks, as well as ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. With this plan, you’ll have access to all of ESPN’s live events, on-demand content and original documentaries, and if you bundle it with Disney+ and Hulu you’ll pay nothing extra for the first 12 months. This is a launch offer, so no guarantees it’ll apply for long.
The alternative is ESPN’s "select" plan, which costs $12 per month ($120 per year) and includes access to all content on ESPN+, the company’s 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 ESPN’s new platform, with major events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam and the Royal Rumble available to watch in their entirety. You’ll be able to stream 2026’s 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.
