Overview
- ESPN posted support‑page changes that take effect Sept. 17 raising ESPN Unlimited from $29.99 to $31.99 per month and the annual Unlimited plan to $319.99 while ESPN Select moves from $12.99 to $13.99 monthly and to $139.99 yearly.
- Disney+ and Hulu bundles that include ESPN Select will rise, with the ad‑supported Disney+ + Hulu + Select bundle moving to $21.99 from $19.99 and the ad‑free version to $32.99 from $29.99.
- Disney is increasing the closed legacy bundle that pairs ad‑free Disney+ with ad‑supported Hulu and ESPN Select from $24.99 to $27.99 for existing subscribers and the package remains unavailable to new signups and cannot be rejoined after cancellation.
- Roughly four in five ESPN Unlimited subscribers signed up through the Disney+/Hulu bundle so most Unlimited users will not see a direct price change and many pay‑TV customers can access Unlimited at no extra charge via authentication with major providers.
- This is ESPN’s first post‑launch price increase about a year after the direct‑to‑consumer rollout and analysts say it tracks wider streaming price pressure that could drive some cancellations or shifts between Disney’s newer bundle options.
