Launch Details and Pricing
Individually, ESPN’s new DTC service will cost $29.99/month, and Fox One will be available for $19.99/month. Bundling both services saves consumers approximately $10 monthly. Both services are set to go live on August 21, 2025, just before the college football and NFL seasons begin. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The bundle offers access to major sports leagues—including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college sports, NASCAR, UFC, and the FIFA World Cup—and includes all of ESPN’s linear channels, as well as Fox’s extensive lineup of news and entertainment channels. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
