ESPN is coming to Disney+ in Australia soon. Will that mean yet another price increase?
Disney has confirmed that it is launching its ESPN sports channel on Disney+ in Australia in the coming months.
The battle for streaming has well and truly pivoted to sport. Apple TV has the American soccer and baseball. Netflix set records with its broadcast of the Mike Tyson vs Logan Paul boxing match, and also has the WWE now. Amazon Prime Video has cricket and Stan has its own sports channel with access to Rugby, Tennis and more.
And that's not even focused on dedicated sports offerings like KAYO and DAZN (who also happens to be buying Foxtel).
So it's no surprise that Disney+ is pushing into sports in a more global fashion, launching ESPN on Disney+ in Australia in the coming months.
