ESPN Plus offers thousands of live sports events. Fans of the MLB , NHL, UFC, and PGA will all find a home with ESPN Plus, and soccer fans will find Bundesliga, Emirates FA Cup, La Liga, and U.S. Open Cup soccer, among others. College sports fans will enjoy football, baseball, hockey, basketball, and more with coverage spanning several conferences and leagues.
In addition to live sports, ESPN Plus offers content featuring some of the biggest names in professional sports, like Peyton Manning and Derek Jeter. If you prefer to read your sports content and commentary, you also get access to more than 3,000 exclusive articles from some of the best sportswriters, like Heather Dinich and Mel Kiper Jr.
But just how much is ESPN Plus? If you opt to pay monthly, you’ll spend $10.99 per month on the service. If you decide to pay annually, you’ll pay $109.99 per year, which is a 15% savings.
Disney Plus Bundle: ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and Hulu
Sometimes, as sports fans, we live with family members who don’t share our passions (maybe they prefer their baseball to feature Goofy). They might like to watch something other than live sports or original sports content, in which case the Disney Bundle , which includes Disney Plus and Hulu alongside your ESPN Plus subscription, is an excellent option.
Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney buffs will love what Disney Plus brings to the table: everything from Disney classics like “Cinderella” to Marvel favorites like “WandaVision” and Star Wars series like “The Mandalorian.” This extensive on-demand library, when coupled with Hulu’s massive trove of on-demand content, means there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.
There’s no annual plan like with basic ESPN Plus — instead, you choose whether or not you want ads with your Disney Plus and Hulu (ESPN Plus comes with ads regardless). The ad-supported bundle costs $14.99 per month, while the ad-free runs $24.99 monthly.

Is ESPN Plus worth it?
For most sports fans, ESPN Plus offers a cost-effective method to access their teams’ games — we’re talking about you: UFC, MLB, and NHL fans. Football fans may find disappointment with the inability to stream games live, as might NBA fans.
At $10.99 per month (or $109.99 per year), ESPN Plus isn’t expected to keep pace with more complete (read: expensive) streaming services like Fubo or Hulu + Live TV. To keep the ESPN Plus price down, you’re going to have some blind spots content-wise. Price-wise, Netflix is the most comparable streaming service, but it won’t get you any live sports, and with the Disney Bundle, you can find plenty of non-sports content to stream, anyway. There’s no free trial , but with such low costs, trying the service isn’t as daunting.
The cheapest way to get ESPN Plus is to purchase an annual subscription for $109.99 per year, which nets you a 15% savings over the $10.99 per month plan. The savings makes this a top choice for ESPN Plus packages.
Is ESPN Plus free with Amazon Prime?
ESPN Plus and Amazon Prime are two completely separate services. ESPN Plus is not free with Amazon Prime.
What channels do you get with ESPN Plus?
Despite sharing a name with the popular sports channel, ESPN Plus doesn’t offer any live channels. Rest assured, however, that you’ll have plenty of live sports to watch.
