ESPN streaming plans are getting more expensive
ESPN is increasing subscription prices for its standalone streaming plans and several Disney Plus bundles starting September 17th. While standalone ESPN plans are seeing their first price hike since launch, some Disney Plus bundles remain unaffected.
Why it matters
