The Walt Disney Company and Fox Corporation have rolled out a bundled offer that pairs the ESPN Unlimited streaming plan and Fox One app together.
The new ESPN Unlimited-Fox One bundle is now available for $40 per month — or $10 less than the individual retail cost of both apps if purchased separately.
ESPN Unlimited offers streaming access to the ESPN cable multiplex, including ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN U, ESPNews and several college sports channels. Sports from the “ABC on ESPN” brand is also available through the app.
Fox One includes streaming access to local Fox stations and affiliates, plus Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and Fox Sports 2 (FS2).
The ESPN Unlimited-Fox One streaming bundle is available through the websites of each respective service.
The Desk was the first to report in June that Fox executives were discussing possible streaming tie-ups of their Fox One app with other services, including those offered by Disney and Warner Bros Discovery (WBD). The three companies previously participated in a streaming joint venture called Venu Sports, which was sued out of existence by Fubo.
Fox confirmed it was bundling Fox One with ESPN Unlimited shortly after the streaming app was announced. A high-level Fox source said the company is still interested in partnering with WBD and other companies, including Comcast and Paramount, to help accelerate the reach of its streaming app in households that have ditched cable and satellite. Pete Distad, the CEO of Fox Streaming, has also affirmed a desire to bundle Fox One with other services, though he hasn’t named them.
