Since 2018, ESPN Plus has been a one-stop shop for sports fans who want to stream their preferred games and matches. For just $10.99 per month, you get the world's largest digital library of live sports, original content, and sports-related documentaries. 

That all sounds great, but how do you sign up? How do you log in? Fear not, this guide will answer all of your most burning questions, plus we'll share some info on the Disney streaming bundle (which includes ESPN Plus) and some of the content that's available to watch.

How much does ESPN Plus cost?

ESPN Plus doesn't offer a free trial and with the new pricing for a monthly subscription, you can sign up for a standalone ESPN Plus account for $10.99 per month, or you can bundle it with Disney Plus and Hulu for just $14.99 per month. 

Both of these options come with no long-term commitment required and you can cancel at any time. Additionally, there are no differences in the amount of content shown between either option; it simply depends on whether you find it valuable to also have access to the Disney Plus and Hulu services.
