ESPN+ Raising Prices of UFC PPVs, Subscription Price For 2021

UFC fans wanting to watch shows on ESPN+ will be out a little more money, as the service is raising its prices for 2021. Variety reports that the price of ESPN+ will rise from $49.99 a year to $59.99 a year starting on January 8th. In addition, the price of UFC PPVs on the service will go up from $64.99 to $69.99.

The service has raised the price of UFC PPVs twice since they landed on the service in 2018. They previously went up from $59.99 to $64.99 at the start of 2020. The service notes that renewals of annual subscriptions for existing customers will remain at $49.99 until at least March 2nd.

The monthly price of $5.99 will remain for those who do not do an annual price. The annual price is still a discount of 17% from the monthly price. The Disney bundle of Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu will stay at $12.99 a month until March, when it bumps up to $13.99.

The previous price increase did not slow ESPN+’s growth, as it nearly doubled to 11.5 million subscribers in the past year.
