ESPN has announced a new direct-to-consumer streaming service, set to launch in the fall at $29.99 monthly, allowing fans access to all ESPN networks and content. This move is significant for sports enthusiasts, particularly UFC fans, as previously, many were unable to watch exclusive ESPN events without a cable subscription. ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro emphasized that this service changes the game for direct access to ESPN offerings. Additionally, UFC events will remain exclusive to ESPN until the end of 2025, after which they may seek new broadcasting partnerships.
"Fans have never been able to buy our ESPN networks directly before. That will all change. This fall everything ESPN has to offer will be available in one place."
"This is indeed a landmark moment for ESPN & for sports fans everywhere."
"ESPN will be increasing its focus on streaming in the coming months with an update that will directly affect Ultimate Fighting Championship fans."
"The UFC's deal with ESPN will conclude at the end of 2025... ESPN holds the exclusive rights to all UFC events."
