ESPN+

ESPN+ has evolved into an essential streaming service for sports fans, offering live events, exclusive content, and original programming not available on ESPN's linear channels. At $10.99/month, ESPN+ provides remarkable value for dedicated sports enthusiasts.

Live sports coverage spans UFC (exclusive home for pay-per-views), MLB, NHL, MLS, college sports, golf (PGA Tour live), tennis, and international soccer including LaLiga, Bundesliga, and FA Cup. The breadth covers both major leagues and niche sports that rarely appear on traditional ESPN.

Exclusive content includes ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 documentaries, original series, studio shows, and the complete ESPN Films library. Detail with Peyton Manning, the sports science series, and athlete profiles provide deeper engagement beyond live games.

Integration with the ESPN app creates a unified experience where ESPN+ content appears alongside ESPN and ESPN2 coverage (with TV provider login). The Disney Bundle combining ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu provides additional value for households with diverse viewing needs.

UFC fans essentially require ESPN+, as all UFC pay-per-views must be purchased through the platform. While PPV events cost extra, ESPN+ membership is required to access them, making it unavoidable for MMA enthusiasts.
