ESPN is launching its own streaming service in the fall of 2025. This will be the cable sports channel’s flagship standalone platform.
The cable firm said it will include all of its programming in its streaming service. It will also feature a personalization function and will be integrated with ESPN Bet and the channel’s fantasy platforms, as per CNBC.
ESPN Streaming Release Date
While it was already mentioned that ESPN is introducing its streaming service in the fall of next year, the exact date of launch is unknown. It was reported that the sports media sector has long been anticipating the sports channel’s independent streaming since its parent company, Disney, has always been putting its programs in a bundle offering.
It was noted that once ESPN activated its own streaming service, which will be in direct-to-consumer format, non-cable subscribers will be able to watch ESPN programs for the first time. This is because access to the channel has always been part of the regular cable bundle.
Rates for ESPN’s Streaming
The news about ESPN’s streaming platform comes not long after it was announced that Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery are collaborating for a joint streaming venture. The JV is different from the new ESPN service because it will only focus on its own programs. For the pricing, the company did not say how much the new standalone service will cost, CNET reported.
“Ultimately, our mission is to make ESPN into the preeminent digital sports brand, reaching as many sports fans as possible and giving them even more ways to access the programming they love, in whatever way best suits their needs,” Disney chief Bob Iger said in a press release. “One way will be through the new streaming sports service coming this fall. This service will bring together our collective portfolios of sports channels and direct-to-consumer services – on a non-exclusive basis – providing consumers with more of the sports they want in a single place.”
