Fox, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery’s joint sports streaming venture Venu Sports has finally set its long-awaited price tag.
The service, which is slated to launch this fall, will cost $42.99 per month, with a seven-day free trial. Anyone who signs up for Venu’s launch price will be able to receive the service for 12 months at that price from the time of sign up, with the ability to cancel at anytime.
Venu, which is targeted at sports fans outside of the traditional TV bundle and is available directly through a new app, will offer subscribers thousands of live sports from all the major sports leagues and top college conferences and access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV, as well as ESPN+.
Content will include live game and event coverage of the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA, NCAA Division I football and basketball, U.S. and international soccer, combat sports, Grand Slam tennis, championship golf, INDYCAR, NASCAR and F1 auto racing, and more.
It will also include studio shows and pre and post-game programming such as ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” “First Take,” “Get Up!,” “College GameDay” and “The Pat McAfee Show,” FOX’s “NFL Sunday,” “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” “First Things First,” and TNT’s “Inside the NBA.”
Additionally, it will include a library of on-demand sports content, such as ESPN’s “30 for 30,” ESPN+ originals, ESPN Films, documentary programming from Fox Sports Films and more. Subscribers will also have the ability to bundle the product with Disney+, Hulu or Max.
“With an impressive portfolio of sports programming, Venu will provide sports fans in the U.S. with a single destination for watching many of the most sought-after games and events,” Venu Sports CEO Pete Distad said in a statement. “We’re building Venu from the ground up for fans who want seamless access to watch the sports they love, and we will launch at a compelling price point that will appeal to the cord cutter and cord never fans currently not served by existing pay TV packages.”
