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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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