ESPN Unlimited is a sports lover dream: Check price, plans and other key details about the new streaming service

This week, Disney launched ESPN direct-to-consumer sports streamer — to get “all of ESPN, all in one place". This means there is no need to subscribe to a cable, satellite or internet TV service.

ESPN has unveiled an AI-fueled feature that mimics the voice of TV anchors as part of a slate of app-based features set for release on Thursday, alongside the launch of the sports network’s streaming service, the company said this week. The new feature, called “SportsCenter for You,” will provide personalized videos specific to a user's interests and reliant upon AI-generated commentary derived from the voices of SportsCenter anchors Hannah Storm and Gary Striewski, among others.

The premium ESPN Unlimited tier is regularly priced at $29.99 per month. But some pay-TV subscribers already have access to everything in ESPN Unlimited as part of their plan, for no additional charge.

What is ESPN unlimited?

ESPN Unlimited is now rolling out across select TV and streaming packages. The service is included with certain plans from Charter’s Spectrum, Disney’s Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV (streaming-only), and FuboTV. Disney’s prior agreements to bundle ESPN+ with TV providers have now been upgraded to cover ESPN Unlimited.

Verizon has also confirmed that Fios TV subscribers will gain access to ESPN Unlimited “in the coming weeks.” However, not every plan includes the service. For instance, Spectrum customers only get ESPN Unlimited (along with Disney+) on Spectrum TV Select, Spectrum TV Select Signature, and Spectrum TV Select Plus.

Some major providers currently not offering ESPN Unlimited include Comcast (Xfinity), Dish Network, YouTube TV, and Altice USA (Optimum). According to Hulu’s customer support site, if ESPN Unlimited isn’t part of your package, you can still access ESPN content through your TV provider and enjoy Disney+ and Hulu with separate subscriptions. Disney also encourages fans to request their TV provider add ESPN Unlimited if it’s not included.
