If you want an easy way to watch sports on the go, ESPN Plus is what you're looking for. The streaming app extension of ESPN, the app's name is literal: it's everything ESPN and then a little bit more.
Owned by Disney, ESPN Plus documentary content, sports highlights and factual shows. But the main reason you're likely subscribing is the live sports the app airs: there's college basketball, PGA Tour, IPL cricket, MLB and NHL games and a lot more.
There are a few sports streaming services on the block, and while rivals like DAZN, Fite TV or Apple TV Plus MLS may be better for specific sports, ESPN Plus has a broader range.
Plus, ESPN Plus is more affordable than lots of the competition at $9.99 monthly, and it's even cheaper if you get it as part of the Disney Bundle (more on that below).
But even if you can't get or don't care for the Disney Bundle, and despite the lack of an ESPN Plus free trial, this is a great streaming service for sports fans.
What is the ESPN Plus price?
ESPN Plus currently goes for $9.99 a month, or $99.99 a year if you pay annually instead of monthly. You can cancel whenever you want, so, if your favorite sport isn't in season, just cancel and come back when you're ready.
And even better, you could also consider bundling the ESPN Plus subscription cost with a couple of other streaming services — Hulu and Disney Plus — known as the Disney Bundle for $12.99 per month. So it's not just good value in and of itself. Packaged with two of the most popular streaming services around, it's still extremely affordable to package. Here's everything you need to know about an ESPN Plus subscription plan.
We sometimes see other streaming deals on the service too, if you can wait to see the games.

Save on ESPN Plus — consider the Disney Bundle
If there's any chance at all that you might also subscribe to Disney Plus or Hulu, then you absolutely must check out the bundle that gets you both of those services along with ESPN Plus for a single price.
It's called the Disney Bundle, and it gets you Disney Plus, the basic Hulu subscription and ESPN Plus all for a single price of just $13.99 a month.
That gets you all the incredible content on Disney Plus, including films and shows from the world of Star Wars — The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian — the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes the excellent WandaVision and Loki. There's also Pixar, Nat Geo and of course the rest of the Disney universe. You get all that, plus Hulu and ESPN Plus.
And it gets even better.
If you're looking for a new way to stream live TV, you can add Hulu With Live TV to your bundle and make the ESPN+ cost make even more sense. That bundle costs $69.99 a month. So now you have ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and the basic Hulu on-demand service, plus Hulu With Live TV, which gets you dozens of live streaming channels. That's just about the most cost-effective ESPN Plus deal there is.
