ESPN’s online subscription content service ESPN Insider has been an available add on for ESPN.com virtually since the company first launched its own website. Insider subscriptions have been packaged a number of different ways over the years, including as a free perk of having a subscription to ESPN the Magazine.
Now ESPN is merging the content found on ESPN Insider with the company’s new OTT service ESPN+. Subscribers were informed of the change in an email that was posted on Reddit.
We have great news! ESPN Insider is merging with ESPN+.
What does this mean?
ESPN+ is the new multi-sport, video streaming service from ESPN. In the next few weeks, Insider content will be integrated into ESPN+. So, you’ll continue to receive the same Insider coverage you’re used to, plus live sports and exclusive originals–all at no extra cost!
What you can look forward to:
Live sports: Stream thousands of live events including Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer, Serie A international soccer, Top Rank Boxing and more!
ESPN Originals: Get on-demand access to ESPN originals, exclusive studio shows like The Fantasy Show, and the entire library of 30 for 30 documentaries.
Limited ads: ESPN+ subscribers get fewer ads across all ESPN digital products (ESPN.com, ESPN app).
Connectivity: Stream on the go or at home, on your smartphone, tablet, computer, and supported connected living room devices.
What you’ll continue to enjoy:
Insider’s premium content from experts like Mel Kiper, Todd McShay, Keith Law and others!
Tools to get an edge in your fantasy sports leagues, and Tournament Challenge brackets.
Continued delivery of ESPN The Magazine as a part of your subscription.
Your subscription will automatically become ESPN+ in the next few weeks and you will be renewed at next billing as an ESPN+ subscriber. See ESPN+ Subscriber Agreement for full details.
Both ESPN Insider and ESPN+ cost $4.99 per month, so there is no pricing change. This is a nice bonus for ESPN Insider subscribers that were weighing the pros and cons of signing up for ESPN+.
