Sorry, Sports Fans. This Popular Streamer Is the Latest to Get a Price Hike
Streaming price hikes just keep coming. Last week, it was Peacock ; this week, it's ESPN. The sports streaming giant's ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited plans will be pricier, effective Sept. 17.
The ad-supported ESPN Select plan, which includes everything you get with ESPN+, will go from $12.99 per month to $13.99 per month. Meanwhile, the Unlimited plan, which opens access to ESPN's linear networks, will go from $29.99 per month to $31.99 per month.
Annual costs also get a revision. ESPN Select will go from $130 to $140 per year, while the Unlimited plan will jump from $300 to $320 per year.
The changes were first spotted on an ESPN support page by Sports Media Watch . These are the first price hikes since Disney revamped the app last year, and they also affect three ESPN Select bundles. The Disney+ (with ads), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN Select bundle will now cost $21.99 per month, up from $19.99 per month, while the Disney+ (ad-free), Hulu (ad-free), and ESPN Select bundle will cost $32.99 per month, up from $29.99 per month.
Interestingly, the Disney+ (ad-free), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN Select bundle, which is no longer available for new customers, is also getting a price bump, from $24.99 to $27.99 per month. Bundles with ESPN Unlimited have been spared for now.
