Get Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited for $29.99/Month for Your First Year

I wish they would stop shoving ESPN down our throats. For a long time Disney had an insane carriage agreement where basic cable subscribers were essentially subsidizing ESPN, but now that cable has collapsed, they’re trying to force it into their streaming bundles. The rest of us should not be forced to subsidize sports.

Fellow sports-indifferent viewer here. There are bundles now that exclude ESPN. I have the one with Disney, Hulu and HBO Max.

You mind saying how (or anyone else chime in?)?

My Disney promo ended recently and I let it expire. Told the kids this week I would see what new offers there may be. The best I can see so far is by adding it to my Verizon perk thingy for $10 a month. It used to be included in my Verizon plan, but my last upgrade to make the iPhone 16 pro free meant moving to a diff data plan that didn’t include the Disney perk.

That's the price of two movies out each month, if you don't get any food at the theater. Yeesh.

same promos they run every Black Friday. I've had $1 Hulu for like 6 or 7 years now and $2 Disney add on for the last few.

As someone who enjoys college football, this isn't a bad price to get ESPN. I can use it for a few months and then cancel.
 
I have Hulu and Disney (with ads) for 2.99 a month. This is offered every single year on Black Friday. Why would anyone get anything else? Also, I'm pretty sure I remember this bundle was under $20 last year.

It’s quite the opposite though, ESPN is keeping the company afloat and they’re trying to push Disney+ on people who wants ESPN + Hulu.

Sports is the only thing keeping these companies afloat.

Can anyone confirm if ESPN Unlimited requires your precise GPS location to stream on iOS?? That's the only turn off for me.

Back when Disney was able to shoehorn ESPN into everyone’s basic cable packages, it was a money printing proposition. Now that that arrangement has essentially collapsed, the network has become far more costly, with Disney continuing to have to shell out massive sums to broadcast various sports leagues without the same guaranteed revenue.

There is ESPN (cable) and ESPN+ (subscription sports). Even with the subscription EPSN+, local blackout rules in effect for your sport are still in effect. We pay ESPN+ for about 6-7 months a year for NHL. Almost all the games are there except for a few that, for some reason, are on other networks. The app sort of sucks as there is no way to prioritize your sport (Hockey, for instance), and one has to sift through every freaking sport to find your content.

ESPN Unlimited is, I believe, a combo ESPN and ESPN+. It's cheaper for us than NHL Center Ice ever was, so it's a good value.

Yep, crazy how things change. Now, sports subsidizes the rest of television.
