ESPN and Fox are set to launch a bundled streaming service combining ESPN's new app and Fox One, starting October 2, 2025, at a monthly price of $39.99. This joint offering aims to attract sports, news, and entertainment fans by providing access to live sports content from both networks under a single subscription. The collaboration marks a notable partnership between two major sports media rivals, coming seven months after the shutdown of Venu Sports. ESPN's new app will feature heavy integration with sports betting, including embedded links directing users to the ESPN Bet app operated by Penn Entertainment, complementing Disney's NFL partnerships on RedZone and NFL Network. Fox CEO of Direct-to-Consumer Pete Distad indicated plans to consider further bundling Fox One with other streaming platforms and adding podcasts, with profit projections described as "aggressive." Additionally, Fox is exploring bundling deals with other major streamers such as HBO Max, Disney Plus, Comcast's Peacock, and Paramount Plus. This move reflects a broader industry trend as streaming services increasingly compete to capture cord-cutting sports audiences.
