In a recent post, I outlined how the new streaming landscape for college football, with the launch of individual ESPN and Fox One services, would be a massive win for cord-cutters like me. Now, in an article from Cord Cutters News, there is even better news that makes these new services an even bigger "game-changer." A bundle is on the way that will save us even more money.
The Cost of the Game
In my previous article, I noted that the old way of getting all the channels for college football involved a subscription to a service like Sling TV for $40 per month, plus an $11 sports add-on, for a total of $51. With the new à la carte approach of a separate ESPN service and Fox One, the combined cost was going to be around $50 per month, which was already a nice saving. The Cord Cutters News article, however, confirmed a development that will make the new approach even more affordable.
ESPN and Fox are teaming up to offer a bundle of their two new services for just $39.99 per month. While both individual services are set to launch on August 21, 2025, with the bundle not becoming available until October 2, 2025. The delay means for the first month, I'd need to subscribe separately. Once that happens, the monthly savings of nearly $10 will be great.
This is a significant step in the right direction for cord-cutters. It shows that major players in the streaming industry are starting to understand what we want: the ability to pay for the content we actually watch without being forced into expensive, bloated packages. This new, focused bundle is a perfect example of giving the consumer a streamlined and cost-effective option for premium content.
My Streaming Life is about finding the best way to get the content I want while saving money, and this new bundle is a perfect example of the cord-cutting landscape evolving to offer more of both.
