This subject probably should have been its own thread already.
ESPN has announced ESPN+ will launch on April 12. The price is $4.99/month or $49.99/year.
It has been previously reported that MLS Live will be folded into ESPN+. So far in 2018, MLS Live has been running for free on the same basic platform that has been used in the past. The only substantial difference has been a lack of condensed games. My friend who works at BAM has told me that the condensed games will be part of the ESPN+ offering once it launches (I don't know if that will apply from the start).
Early articles about ESPN+ are coming out. There will not be any access to the programming on the main ESPN cable channels. This is all about extras. It seems that the MLB and NHL content will be one free game a day with an add-on available to stream all the games. MLS is not going to require the add-on, but the games will be restricted to out-of-market games.
This article states that "For the out-of-market MLS junkie (or die-hard Chicago Fire fan), ESPN+ looks like a godsend." But there doesn't seem to be much of interest to the average sports fan.
