Disney+ to Add Free ESPN Streaming Content Starting in December


Disney+ will add an ESPN 'tile' on Dec. 4, and the company will offer some live sports and other ESPN shows for no extra cost.

ESPN+, which carries thousands of sporting events but not the full linear TV lineup across ESPN nets, costs $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year, after a price hike effective Oct. 17. Disney promises that ESPN Flagship will give subscribers access to “an enhanced array of innovative digital features, creating a sports destination unlike anything available in the marketplace today. These expanded content offerings should generate higher engagement, resulting in lower churn, as well as even greater advertising potential,” per Iger and Johnston’s commentary.
