The previously announced ESPN standalone app finally has a release date: Thursday, August 21. The app, which Disney CEO Bob Iger called the "ESPN Flagship" in May, will offer all of ESPN's cable channels for a hefty $29.99 a month for the "unlimited" plan.
In a press release, communications director Olivia Coryell said that the new app would "introduce a more personalized, dynamic viewing experience for fans." New features included updated multiview, game stats, betting information and more.
There are multiple ways to access ESPN now and here's what it'll cost you:

ESPN has had a busy summer acquiring the rights to air a variety of sporting events, including recent acquisitions of WWE premium events, which are moving over from Peacock.
The sports broadcaster also just acquired Redzone and the NFL Network in a deal that gives the NFL equity in ESPN.
ESPN has long been compromised journalistically since it covers the same sports that it pays to broadcast. This NFL deal further deepens ESPN’s conflict of interest. But if you just want the games and Steven A. Smith to yell at you about sports betting and fantasy sports, perhaps that won't be a big deal.
Other sports in ESPN's coverage include the U.S. Open, international soccer, volleyball, field hockey, women's college soccer, and soon, the WNBA playoffs, PLL playoffs, and NBA and NHL seasons.
