First launched in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/espn-plus-streaming-launched-855140\/\">April 2018<\/a>, the service now has over two million subscribers. Like other premium video streaming services including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/new-on-netflix-939257\/\">Netflix<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/new-on-hulu-939207\/\">Hulu<\/a>, ESPN Plus is a standalone service; you don&rsquo;t need to be a subscriber to one of its old-fashioned TV channels to access it. That said, this is meant to be complementary to your existing ESPN channels.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we will go over what ESPN Plus is, how much the service costs, what devices you can watch it on, and what special features, sports, and shows it has.<\/p>\n<h2>What is ESPN Plus?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-962602 noname aa-img lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-840x517.jpg\" alt=\"Preview of ESPN Plus movie recommendations screen.\" width=\"706\" height=\"434\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-840x517.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-840x517.jpg 840w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-16x10.jpg 16w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-32x20.jpg 32w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-28x17.jpg 28w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-56x34.jpg 56w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-64x39.jpg 64w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-1000x615.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-1200x738.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1-325x200.jpg 325w, https:\/\/cdn57.androidauthority.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/espn-plus-1.jpg 1548w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-attachment-id=\"962602\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So what exactly is ESPN Plus?
