If you want to purchase the ESPN DTC plan, sign-up beginning tomorrow. For $29.99, you get all ESPN channels and programming including ESPN+, SEC Network, and ACCN. They will also offer a plan for the same price that includes Disney+ and Hulu for 12 months.

ESPN DTC Sign Up

Fox One offers all of the Fox sports programming plus B1G Network and their news, local (some markets), and weather channels for $19.99/month.

Fox One Sign Up

For those interested in sports programming only, they can save a few bucks instead of buying YouTubeTV, cable packages, DirecTV, etc.

I can split YoutubeTV for cheaper than those.

How many streams does each service provide? What is usage outside of your home like?

ESPN subscriptions allow simultaneous streaming on up to three (3) devices for most content, including on-demand shows and live events. For certain additional content, such as pay-per-view events, the limit may be two simultaneous streams.

Nothing specific on the website but I assume it will be the same as ESPN+.

I thought the $30 special was for the year
I still won't be paying $30/month but it crossed my mind for a moment.

@notsince98

I don't see anything on the website about either of those items. I would assume that nothing changes from today's constraints but that might not be accurate.

I saw up to 3 streams for ESPN.
Also, in a couple weeks they will have a deal to add Fox to ESPN for around $10 a month.

I'm going to give it a go since YTTV runs $90 month and all I watch on it is Sports for the most part.

Find one person to split YTTV with an you are down to $45/mo and saving money over the ESPN option.

Y'all gotta understand that this isn't for people that have YouTube TV or some other streaming service. It's for people that only want to watch ESPN and don't care about having any other tv options.

Also if you have DirecTV Stream service, they are going to add this ESPN and Disney/Hulu package for free in the coming days.

But you still have to have something else to be able to get the NFL games on ABC, CBS, Fox, etc. correct?

Doesn't work for me.

Guess I have to keep Hulu + Live TV. Really want to dump that.

ABC will come with the ESPN package. Fox comes with the Fox sports package. CBS comes with paramount+ and I think NBC can be streamed for free or at least included with Peacock. But if you get all that just for sports, you'd be better off with YoutubeTV or DirecTV stream or even FUBO.

Agreed.

Was hoping this would offer an option to dump Hulu Live but it doesnt appear it will.

This is a pretty massive deal. I’ll be curious how the other big players respond. YTTV has gotten stupid expensive.
