ESPN Unlimited plans & pricing
1 plan, from $31.99/mo. Price history.
Prices verified as of October 14, 2026.
TL;DR
- Annual billing: offered, saves up to 17% vs monthly
- Cheapest way to watch: Unlimited Annual at $319.99/yr (about $26.67/mo)
Which plan should you pick?
- Unlimited is the whole ESPN: every linear channel (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network) plus the full ESPN+ library and WWE premium live events.
- At $31.99/mo it is the priciest single sports subscription in the planner. Only pay for months you actually watch ESPN's linear channels.
- The annual plan ($319.99) saves about 17% vs monthly, but only wins if you watch year-round. Hibernating the offseason usually beats it.
- If you already pay for YouTube TV or another live TV service, check the ESPN app first: many pay-TV packages include ESPN Unlimited at no extra charge.
