ESPN raises streaming subscription prices in September

ESPN announced that it will raise the price of its subscription plans effective September 17, a move that will also affect bundles that include Disney Plus. The change comes after a support‑page post by Sports Media Watch and was reported by The Verge. The new monthly rates will see ESPN Select climb to $13.99 from $12.99, while the Unlimited tier will increase to $31.99 from $29.99.

Annual subscriptions will see a similar bump. The ESPN Select yearly plan will rise to $139.99 from $129.99, and the Unlimited yearly option will jump to $319.99 from $299.99. Bundles that pair Disney Plus with ESPN Select—such as Disney Plus (with ads), Hulu (with ads), and ESPN—will also reflect the higher price point, though the exact bundle figures were not listed in the announcement.

Subscribers who are currently on the affected plans will see the new rates applied on September 17. The adjustment is part of ESPN’s broader strategy to align its pricing with the value offered by its premium content and bundled services.
