The sports giant is rolling out a pair of direct-to-consumer streaming plans on the ESPN App that do not require a cable subscription.

As for those bells and whistles, ESPN will launch “Verts” within its app. Think of Verts like a sports TikTok. It will feature swipeable vertical video which will be personalized to your viewing habits.

The revamped app will feature a TikTok-style vertical feed for highlights, AI-generated news in ESPN anchors' voices, multi-view channels, and more.

It’s basically a way to get all of ESPN’s disparate networks in one subscription. At launch, there are 12 networks under the tent: This is primarily for folks who don’t have cable, satellite or a multi-channel streaming service like Fubo (a commercial partner of The Athletic) or YouTube TV.

After years of being asked how it would respond to the streaming explosion, ESPN is finally unveiling a new direct-to-consumer app designed to offer its clearest answer yet to that existential question.

It's a new era of sports streaming! ESPN's all-in-one DTC streaming service and new app are live. Here's everything you need to know.

ESPN’s years-long march towards a direct-to-consumer subscription service is about to culminate -- here's what subscribers can expect.

ESPN has agreements with several cable TV distributors to provide full access to the new app on launch through authentication, including Charter, Verizon, and DirecTV. Hulu + Live TV and Fubo, both now owned by Disney, will also provide access to ESPN’s new service for no additional charge.

ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro says the new streaming service is "all of ESPN." ESPN's new streaming service is here, offering sports fans a way to view their own personalized version of " SportsCenter ," among other features.

The launch of an ambitious streaming platform, complete with AI features, looks to shift how we interact with sports. Can it really change the game?
