ESPN’s standalone subscription streaming service, ESPN+, will launch on April 12th for $4.99 per month. Customers can also choose to pay the annual price of $49.99. The service lacks the core ESPN cable channel itself, but the company hopes a comprehensive mix of professional and college sports can make up for that and bring in customers anyway. There won’t be a separate app for ESPN+; it will be integrated into the main ESPN mobile app, which will move to a “completely redesigned and reimagined” look on the same day. Unfortunately, we don’t have any screenshots or a preview of what that will entail.

ESPN+ is being pitched as a major component of Disney’s direct-to-consumer streaming future. It arrives ahead of Disney’s own subscription service (set to debut in 2019), and the company is also expected to take majority ownership of Hulu when its colossal deal with Fox closes. Both ESPN+ and the Disney-branded service are by BAMTech, the streaming division that Disney bought a majority stake in last year.

ESPN+ will base its programming on four key areas. At the top of the heap is live sports, but your interest in the service will depend greatly on what it is you like to watch.

ESPN+ is a big part of Disney’s direct-to-consumer future

Subscribers will get one free MLB game each day. MLB.TV is available as an add-on for $24.99 per month. The same goes for the NHL: hockey fans can stream a free game each day during the 2018–2019 regular season and choose to add the full NHL.TV package to their ESPN+ subscription.

But if you’re a big fan of the major US professional sports leagues, ESPN+ still isn’t much of a replacement for cable and the traditional ESPN channels. In the most damning show of that, live NFL games are absent from the service altogether. You won’t find any Monday Night Football here.

Instead, ESPN is hoping that ESPN+ will attract fans of boxing, soccer, college sports, and international favorites like cricket and rugby. And there is a ton of that stuff. I’ve included it at the bottom of this post.

Aside from live events, ESPN+ will feature “high-quality original shows and films, exclusive studio programs, and an unmatched on-demand library.” The company says more specifics about what will be included in that vault will be released over the coming days and weeks.Keep in mind that you’ll still be dealing with the usual local blackout annoyances with a lot of the live events from the pro leagues. And again, ESPN+ doesn’t include the ESPN networks you might watch daily; those cable agreements still pull in way too much money for Disney and ESPN to truly give you standalone ESPN. So, if you only have ESPN+, you won’t be watching SportsCenter and you’ll be missing a lot of live, big-league content. But cable, satellite, and internet TV subscribers will still be able to get their traditional ESPN fix through the redesigned app, like always.

Here’s the long list of live sports that ESPN+ will really be based on. Is it enough for you to add yet another subscription to the pile?
