For sports fans, ESPN is a familiar name. But ESPN+, its streaming service launched in 2018, still leaves some wondering what it offers. While ESPN+ *does* stream live sports, it's best understood as a supplement to traditional ESPN channels, filling in gaps and providing exclusive content.
This comprehensive guide covers ESPN+ in 2025, including service details, live sports, pricing, and more.
ESPN+ is a subscription streaming service offering live sporting events, exclusive ESPN films and series (unavailable on standard ESPN channels), premium articles, and more. Subscribe standalone or as part of the Disney Bundle (Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu).
Important Note: ESPN+ does not include access to standard ESPN channels like ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNEWS. You'll need a cable or live TV subscription for those.
However, ESPN+ boasts a growing library of original programming, including shows like Man in the Arena with Tom Brady, Peyton's Places, and ESPN FC. Since 2019, it's been the exclusive streaming home for NFL Primetime, offering Sunday night highlights and analysis. The entire 30 For 30 documentary series is also available.
For sports news enthusiasts, ESPN+ Premium Articles provide in-depth analysis, rankings, mock drafts, and more from top ESPN writers.
