Disney Reveals Timing Of ESPN Stand-Alone Streaming Launch


Disney CEO Bob Iger says ESPN's bulked-up streaming service will launch in the fall of 2025, or possibly even as soon as August of that year.

The stand-alone offering will follow this fall’s planned launch of a high-profile joint streaming venture pooling the sports properties of Disney-ESPN, Warner Bros. Unlike the JV’s app, though, it will surround video programming with ESPN-branded interactive features, including statistics and data related to betting and fantasy sports. Disney is continuing to try to line up a strategic partner to help drive the distribution of the new ESPN app and has reportedly held talks with the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball.
