The tile just says \u201cESPN,\u201d because for right now, it\u2019ll only include the live games and shows that are normally part of ESPN Plus. But next year will mark the long-awaited debut of a <em>true<\/em> ESPN streaming service \u2014 you know, the actual cable channel with shows that sports fans can\u2019t live without \u2014 and that\u2019ll eventually be accessible through this Disney Plus portal, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Disney\u2019s reasoning for putting all this content under one umbrella is simple: it wants to get more people signed up for the Disney Plus \/ Hulu \/ ESPN Plus triple-package bundle. And the less friction there is, the more appealing that bundle becomes for customers who might only be paying for the core service right now. To help push the bundle even harder, Disney Plus subscribers can now access \u201ca curated selection of live sports events and shows from ESPN Plus and movies and series from Hulu.\u201d The tiles for both services will now appear in the main navigation even if you\u2019re not paying for Hulu or ESPN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"my-9\">\n<p><figcaption class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup inline text-gray-13 dark:text-gray-e9 [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-black [&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:text-gray-e9 dark:[&amp;&gt;a:hover]:shadow-underline-gray-63 [&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-13 dark:[&amp;&gt;a]:shadow-underline-gray-63\"><em>If you\u2019re a bundle subscriber, you get all the stuff!

ESPN Plus offers access to \u201cover 30,000 live sports events each year\u201d along with plenty of original content. But this is really just a half-step towards the end goal of bringing real, linear ESPN to the service. Disney says what we\u2019re seeing today is \u201cthe groundwork for an expanded sports offering on Disney Plus in the US upon the launch of ESPN\u2019s flagship direct-to-consumer product, expected in fall of 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">That ESPN streaming service is expected to launch as early as August and has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5355283\/2024\/03\/20\/espn-tv-rights-nfl-nba\/\">rumored to cost upwards of $30<\/a> per month. Yes, just for ESPN. You\u2019ll be able to view it through Disney Plus, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/2\/7\/24065449\/the-real-standalone-espn-streaming-channel-will-launch-in-the-fall-of-2025\">CEO Bob Iger has said<\/a> the ESPN app will offer a more feature-packed sports experience with integrated betting and fantasy leagues. The Disney option is there for people who want the convenience of everything being crammed into a single app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">Disney is determined to make its streaming business a reliable profit maker, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/11\/14\/24296307\/disney-plus-streaming-business-profit-q4-2024-earnings\">the real money is in bundles and ad-supported plans<\/a>. On the ad front, advertisers will have the ability to purchase inventory \u201cby sport, league, team, within live events, and across all marketplaces\u201d now that ESPN content is streaming within Disney Plus. The company has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/9\/25\/24254189\/disney-plus-password-sharing-pricing-extra-member\">taken steps to tackle password sharing<\/a> and now charges customers between $6.99 and $9.99 for letting others sign into their Disney Plus account from a different location.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The cost of subscribing to Disney Plus is inevitably going to keep climbing higher. And Disney will no doubt cite the app\u2019s value as an all-encompassing entertainment hub \u2014 now with sports \u2014 as the rationale for those hikes. For the end user, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24152330\/netflix-hulu-disney-plus-hbo-streaming-cable-video-verge\">it can all feel reminiscent of cable<\/a>, but that\u2019s the streaming era we find ourselves in. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/12\/4\/24312617\/espn-disney-plus-now-available-bundle-free-preview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new ESPN tile is being added to the app\u2019s homescreen.
