What Is ESPN+?
Like Max, ESPN+ (or ESPN Plus) is ESPN’s online streaming subscription service and app, which lets sports fans watch live and on-demand content, including tournaments, games and sports series on their devices without needing a traditional cable TV plan.
How Much Does ESPN+ Cost?
ESPN+ costs just $9.99 per month for its standard package. This is a great option if you only want to catch certain seasons or specific tournaments.
Price: $9.99 $ESPN+ Monthly Subscription
ESPN+ also offers an annual package, which costs $99.99 for the entire year — saving you about 20% in the long run. You’re not locked into paying for ESPN+ either, and you can cancel your subscription whenever you want.
But it’s now your last chance to get an annual subscription to ESPN+ at this price point. Starting Oct. 12, 2023, the annual price will jump to $109.99. You’ll want to act fast to save yourself an extra $10 on your ESPN+ subscription.

What Can You Watch on ESPN+?
ESPN‘s streaming app is one of your best options for watching exclusive events and live sports online, from events like the Australian Open to NHL games and even college sports. But you’ll also be able to stream shows and even ESPN’s acclaimed 30 for 30 documentary series, from Vick to Breakaway.
For UFC fans, ESPN+ is a must-have to stream fights in real time. It’s your online streaming home for weekly UFC fight nights and ESPN+ is also where you’ll find exclusive pay-per-view events (though you’ll need to pay a PPV price to watch the anticipated title fights live).
ESPN+ also includes HD streaming on your phone, plus you can watch sports and other content on devices like your Apple TV, iPad and Amazon Fire TV. Those aren’t the only devices you can stream ESPN+. You can also watch ESPN+ using Roku, Samsung smart TVs, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and 5, to name a few. No matter what you’re streaming on, you should be able to rewind and rewatch big plays on up to three gadgets at the same time.

If you were hoping to score a free trial to ESPN+, we have some bad news: ESPN+ doesn’t currently offer a free trial deal on its own. That said, you can still get a decent discount for ESPN+ a few other ways. Read on for our favorite ESPN+ deals and discounts.
