Hot off the heels of its latest price hike, Disney Plus is giving its Australian subscribers access to ESPN later this month.
From Wednesday the 26th of March, all Australian Disney Plus subscribers (Standard and Premium) will gain access to "more than 10,000 hours of ESPN's live sports action" at no extra charge (well, no extra charge other than the recent $2 - $3 per month price increase.) Australia and New Zealand will be the first countries outside of North America to see ESPN integrated into their Disney Plus subscription.
The ESPN hub on Disney Plus will include two live sports channels: ESPN and ESPN 2. It will offer live streaming and on-demand catch-up for popular sports panel shows like SportsCenter, The Pat McAfee Show, NBA Today and First Take, as well as ESPN's back catalogue of 30 for 30 documentaries.
Sports streaming on ESPN will include comprehensive basketball coverage of the NBA, WNBA and FIBA, in addition to major events like the NBA Playoffs, the NCAA March Madness, MLB Opening Day, UFC Fight Night and the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
New subscribers will be stung with the new monthly price for Disney Plus, that's $15.99 per month for Disney Plus Standard and $20.99 per month for Disney Plus Premium.
