How much does ESPN+ cost?

You can sign up for a standalone ESPN+ subscription for just $6.99 per month, or you can bundle it with Disney+ and Hulu for just $13.99 per month. Alternatively, this bundle is also available with ad-free Hulu for $19.99 per month.

Both of these options come with no long term commitment required, and you can cancel them at any time. There are no differences in the amount of content that is shown between either option, it simply depends on whether you find it valuable to have access to Disney’s new Disney+ service, along with the commercial-supported Hulu plan without Live TV. The bundle price is set to increase later this year, so you will want to get in on it now to lock in at the lower pricing.
