Fox One Joins ESPN in Powerful $39.99 Stream Bundle Launch

Prime Highlights

Fox One and ESPN’s standalone service launch on August 21, 2025.
Starting October 2, they also will offer them both combined as part of a package for $39.99 monthly, saving $10.

Key Facts

Fox One is $19.99 monthly with news, sports, and local programming.
ESPN’s product is $29.99 monthly with in-depth sports coverage and WWE programming.

Key Background

Fox and ESPN revealed concurrently on Aug. 11, 2025, their respective over-the-top direct-to-consumer streaming products, each of which debuts Aug. 21—just in time for highly touted college football and NFL seasons. ESPN’s new product will provide access to all of its linear networks, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, and ESPN Deportes. Subscribers will get a better app experience with added personalization, multiple viewing options, fantasy sports, live stats, and sports betting information. Fox One, however, is pricing its launch at $19.99 per month and combines Fox News, FS1, FS2, local channels, and entertainment programming. Subscribers will be given the option to include Fox Nation at a reduced price, which is worth an all-in-one package for news and sports enthusiasts.

The firms have indicated that beginning October 2, the two services will be offered together for $39.99 a month. That is $10 cheaper than buying them separately and is positioned as a new version of the nixed “Venu Sports” joint venture plan. That effort was initially abandoned because of regulatory issues, but the new strategy sidesteps the regulatory issues while providing consumers roughly the same value.

The package unmistakeably addresses the expanding market of cord-cutter and cord-nevers who desire value and convenience in watching good-quality live sports for little expense.

As competition gets fiercer—Warner Bros. Discovery also is debuting a rival sports streaming platform—ESPN and Fox’s initiative puts them at the center of providing sports programming on value grounds. The tie-up demonstrates the prevailing trend within the media environment, wherein long-established broadcasters are adopting digital-first consumption patterns through content bundling, cost savings, and a better consumer experience.
