ESPN+

ESPN+ is a brand of streaming-only sports programming primarily distributed through the ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service, both owned by ESPN, which is a joint venture between the Walt Disney Company (which owns 72% via indirect subsidiary ABC Inc.) and Hearst Communications (which owns 18%), and the National Football League (which owns 10%). The service launched on April 12, 2018.

From April 2018 to August 2025, ESPN+ was an over-the-top subscription video streaming service available in the United States, operating using technology of Disney subsidiary BAMTech, now known as Disney Streaming. As a streaming service, ESPN+ was marketed as an add-on to ESPN's core linear networks, with some of ESPN+'s content previously offered exclusively to cable subscribers via ESPN3 and the ESPN app. ESPN+ did not include access to these services, as they continued to only be available through television providers. Thus, some of ESPN's sports rights were not carried on ESPN+.

Remaining ESPN+-branded content includes combat sports (including coverage of the Ultimate Fighting Championship), college sports, hockey (including up to 50 exclusive National Hockey League games per-season and all out-of-market games), soccer, golf (including PGA Tour Live and coverage of the PGA Championship), tennis and cricket. Major League Baseball's out-of-market sports package, also operated through BAMTech, was sold through the platform as an add-on. The service also featured archive content, ESPN original documentaries and access to premium content on ESPN.com.

ESPN+ became part of the new ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service when it launched on August 21, 2025, with the previous ESPN+ streaming product rebranded as ESPN Select. However, ESPN+ will remain active as a programming brand for an unspecified period of time due to contractual obligations with some of its content providers. ESPN+ will also continue to be distributed to commercial establishments as a standalone package.
