• A limited-time bundle offers ESPN Unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu for $29.99 per month for the first year, with an NFL+ Premium bundle set for Sept. 3 at $39.99 and a Fox One bundle on Oct. 2 at $39.99.
• Key features include a personalized ‘SportsCenter for You’ with AI-narrated highlights, StreamCenter second-screen stats and controls, a vertical short‑form feed called Verts, integrated fantasy and betting views, multiview on connected TVs, and in‑stream shopping via Fanatics.
• Multiple outlets report a preliminary three-year framework in which ESPN would acquire exclusive digital rights to MLB.TV out-of-market games, in-market rights for Cleveland, San Diego, Minnesota, Arizona and Colorado, and roughly 30 exclusive national games on a non-Sunday night; the deal is not finalized.
• Existing pay-TV customers with participating providers (including DirecTV, Spectrum, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo and Verizon) can authenticate into the app at no extra cost, and current ESPN+ subscribers are being migrated to the Select tier.
