ESPN+ is a brand of streaming-only sports programming primarily distributed through the ESPN direct-to-consumer streaming service, both owned by ESPN, which is a joint venture between the Walt Disney Company (which owns 72% via indirect subsidiary ABC Inc.) and Hearst Communications (which owns 18%), and the National Football League (which owns 10%). The service launched on April 12, 2018.
From April 2018 to August 2025, ESPN+ was an over-the-top subscription video streaming service available in the United States, operating using technology of Disney subsidiary BAMTech, now known as Disney Streaming. As a streaming service, ESPN+ was marketed as an add-on to ESPN's core linear networks, with some of ESPN+'s content previously offered exclusively to cable subscribers via ESPN3 and the ESPN app. ESPN+ did not include access to these services, as they continued to only be available through television providers. Thus, some of ESPN's sports rights were not carried on ESPN+.
