Streaming Sports Packages Up for Grabs by ESPN and Fox via Theirreshaped services
Disney's ESPN and Fox Corporation have unveiled a joint streaming bundle set to launch on October 2, 2025, priced at a competitive $39.99 per month. This bundle, which offers a saving of $10 compared to subscribing to each service individually, combines ESPN's direct-to-consumer (DTC) service and Fox's new Fox One streaming service [1][2].
The bundle encompasses a wide array of sports channels and events. ESPN's full live channel lineup includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN on ABC, ESPN+, SEC Network+, and ACC Network Extra. Fox One, on the other hand, features FS1, FS2, and Fox local stations [1][2].
The sports coverage offered by this bundle is extensive, with live streams from major leagues and events such as the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, college football and basketball, NASCAR, INDYCAR, UFC, and the upcoming FIFA World Cup. ESPN alone offers around 47,000 live events yearly, along with replays, studio shows, and original programming [1][2].
Both ESPN DTC and Fox One will be available separately starting August 21, 2025, before the combined bundle launches on October 2, 2025 [1][2]. This new bundle aims to provide a comprehensive and cost-effective sports streaming experience that could potentially replace traditional cable or live TV sports packages for fans seeking flexibility and volume.
The bundled offer does not include Disney's stand-alone Fox One and ESPN services, which debuted on August 21, 2025. This collaboration reflects both companies’ strategy to meet sports fans’ demand for direct, versatile streaming with premium content across devices at an attractive price [2].
The new bundle is a re-emergence of a previously scuttled streaming project that would have included sports offerings from Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros Discovery. However, the current bundle does not include any of Warner Bros. Discovery's products.
Sean Breen, executive vice president of Disney Platform Distribution, has stated that the collaboration reflects Disney's commitment to delivering premium experiences across platforms. Tony Billetter, senior vice president of strategy and business development of Fox's direct-to-consumer operations, has stated that the alliance is evidence of Fox's desire to deliver the best possible value and viewing experience to customers [2].
The new bundle is portrayed as being in the interest of sports fans, with ESPN's premium tier offering extras such as WWE Premium Live Events starting next year and plans to include NFL Network following its acquisition [3].
