Story Highlights

Disney officially pulled back the curtain on its new direct-to-consumer streaming service Tuesday morning, announcing that it will be named simply ESPN. The DTC service, which will launch in early fall, will offer two plans: an unlimited package that delivers the entire suite of ESPN networks and content for $29.99/month and a select option that will include ESPN and other content -but not live feeds of ESPN's linear networks - for $11.99/month.

The unlimited plan also offers bundling opportunities with Disney and Hulu, including a special offer at launch for $29.99/month for the first 12 months.

At launch, ESPN will introduce a series of enhancements to the ESPN App on mobile and connected-TV devices. The new features and functionality will be available to all fans who watch on the ESPN App, whether they subscribe directly or through a traditional pay-TV package.

We are providing everything ESPN has to offer directly to fans and all in one place, said ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro in the announcement. As we thought about the name, we kept returning to the fact that, across every generation, ESPN is the most trusted, loved, and recognized name in sports and that we should keep it simple and double down on the power of ESPN. Our straightforward approach to name and pricing will help fans cut through the clutter, and provide them compelling options to access all our content within the enhanced ESPN App. It will be the ultimate sports destination for personalized experiences and features, and, on top of that, fans will be able to choose to bundle ESPN with the industry-leading Disney and Hulu streaming services.

The Unlimited Plan: All Linear Networks Plus Top-Tier VOD Content The unlimited plan will give fans access to all of ESPN's linear networks - ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes - in addition to ESPN on ABC, ESPN , ESPN3, SECN , and ACCNX, covering 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, studio shows, original programming, and more.

ESPN's unprecedented rights portfolio comprises the NFL; NBA; NHL; MLB; WNBA; UFC; UFL; SEC; ACC; Big 12; College Football Playoff; 40 NCAA championships including the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship; LaLiga, Bundesliga, NWSL, and FA Cup soccer; Australian Open, Wimbledon, and US Open tennis; The Masters, PGA Championship, PGA TOUR, and TGL golf; Little League World Series baseball and softball; Premier Lacrosse League; and more. ESPN's leading studio shows include the iconic SportsCenter, Get Up, First Take, NFL Live, The Pat McAfee Show, Pardon the Interruption, College GameDay, NBA Today, along with on-demand content 30 for 30 films, and ESPN Originals.

Monthly subscription: $29.99

Annual subscription: $299.99

Disney , Hulu, ESPN unlimited bundle: $35.99/month (with ads on Disney /Hulu), $44.99/month (no ads on Disney /Hulu)

Special offer at launch: Disney , Hulu, ESPN unlimited bundle for $29.99/month for the first 12 months (with ads on Disney /Hulu)

The Select Plan: ESPN , Studio Show, VOD Replay, and Original Content The select plan will provide subscribers with access to all content available on ESPN , including more than 32,000 live sports events annually, a robust library of exclusive studio shows, on-demand replays, and acclaimed original content.

Monthly subscription: $11.99

Annual subscription: $119.99

Disney , Hulu, ESPN select bundle: $16.99/month (with ads on Disney /Hulu), $26.99/month (no ads on Disney /Hulu)

Existing ESPN subscribers will automatically become subscribers to the new service, based on their current subscription level. Standalone ESPN subscribers get the ESPN select plan, and subscribers to Disney /Hulu/ESPN bundle get the ESPN select bundle. Fans with subscriptions to the Disney , Hulu, and ESPN bundles will be able to watch ESPN content within Disney seamlessly alongside Disney and Hulu entertainment and family programming.

As previously announced, ESPN will also continue to be available through traditional MVPDs and DMVPDs. Additional details, including the specific launch date, will be announced this summer.
