Fox One and ESPN Unite in a Massive Streaming Bundle That Could Shake Up Sports Television

In a bold move to capture the growing audience that is abandoning traditional cable for on‑demand entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Co. has announced a new partnership with ESPN, creating a single streaming bundle that promises “massive sports content” for a price that rivals the most popular sports‑only subscriptions. The deal, unveiled on Fox News’ sports page on Thursday, offers fans access to every Fox and ESPN channel, plus the new Fox One streaming service, all in one convenient package. While the headline price is competitive, the real draw is the breadth of live and on‑demand content, and the fact that the bundle is available for streaming on a wide range of devices—from smartphones and tablets to smart TVs and gaming consoles.

What the Bundle Covers

At its core, the bundle is a merger of two powerful brands: Fox’s long‑standing live sports lineup and ESPN’s expansive sports media empire. Here’s a quick rundown of what subscribers can expect:

In addition to the channels listed above, the bundle includes “Fox Sports Radio” and “ESPN Radio,” both of which stream live audio for a variety of sports events. For fans who want to stream games on the go, the Fox One app supports “app‑only” play‑by‑play, while ESPN’s “ESPN Play” app offers the same feature for its linear channels. Together, the two platforms offer an unprecedented number of hours of live sports each year.

Pricing and Availability

The bundle is priced at $13.99 per month (or $159.99 annually), a rate that undercuts the $15.99 monthly price of the standalone ESPN+ subscription and the $11.99 monthly fee for the newer “Fox One” package. The deal also comes with a 30‑day free trial for first‑time users. While the price is competitive, the real value proposition lies in the sheer amount of content: a combined catalog that rivals or surpasses what you can get from Disney+, Peacock, or HBO Max.

Fox One is available on major streaming devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and the Amazon Alexa platform. The ESPN+ portion of the bundle is likewise available on the same array of devices. Importantly, the bundle supports HD and 4K streaming for select sports events (such as the Super Bowl, NBA playoffs, and World Series) when the user’s device and internet connection support it.

How the Deal Benefits Fans

1. All‑In‑One Access
   Before the bundle, sports fans needed separate subscriptions for each network they cared about—ESPN+, ESPN’s linear channels, Fox Sports 1, and Fox Sports 2, and often a separate Fox News subscription. With the new package, one monthly fee covers everything.

2. Live Game Variety
   From Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football to college football “The Power Play” and the NCAA basketball tournament, fans can stream their favorite games without flipping between apps.

3. On‑Demand Content
   Each platform has a robust on‑demand library. Fox One offers “Fox Sports on Demand,” including classic sports events and documentaries. ESPN’s library is even larger, with hundreds of hours of “SportsCenter” highlights, “College GameDay,” and “E:60.”

4. Cross‑Platform Experience
   The new bundle is built for mobile, ensuring fans can watch games while traveling. It also supports “second screen” features, such as live statistics and alternate camera angles, that enhance the viewing experience.

5. Ad‑Free Options
   While the base bundle includes ads, both Fox One and ESPN offer premium tiers that remove advertisements from all channels for an additional fee. This is especially attractive to fans who are weary of the increasingly intrusive ad breaks on streaming platforms.

Industry Context

The streaming boom has forced traditional broadcasters to rethink how they deliver content. In 2023, streaming subscriptions overtook traditional cable in revenue for the first time in U.S. history, a trend that accelerated during the pandemic. ESPN’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s sports assets—along with their own “ESPN+” launch—was a strategic move to stay relevant. Meanwhile, Fox’s launch of “Fox One” in 2022 was a response to the decline in linear sports viewership. The new bundle is, in essence, the culmination of years of experimentation, bringing the two streaming giants together under one subscription umbrella.

Analysts say that the partnership could be a game‑changer for sports‑centric streaming. “By combining their linear and streaming offerings, Fox and ESPN can attract a broader audience, from the casual sports fan who just wants a Super Bowl to the die‑hard follower of niche leagues,” says Mark Schmitt, a sports media analyst at Deloitte. “It also gives both networks a foothold against competitors like Amazon Prime Video, which is adding its own sports content.”

Final Thoughts

The Fox One‑ESPN bundle is a clear indicator that sports broadcasting is still king but must be served via flexible, digital channels. The price point is reasonable, especially when compared to the fragmented costs of other streaming services. For fans who want comprehensive coverage of the NFL, NBA, MLB, college sports, and even international events like UFC, this bundle is the only one‑stop shop for live action, commentary, and analysis.

As the streaming market continues to evolve, partnerships like this one could set a new standard for how sports content is packaged and sold to consumers. For now, fans have a compelling reason to ditch the cable box and hop onto a platform that promises “massive sports content” at a price that’s hard to beat.
