Social media users hatesd everything about this change in price.

“I always hated how ESPN+ ends up impacting, and costing, mid-major college fans the most,” one fan wrote.

Wonderful, ESPN + is increasing their monthly price to $9.99 a month. Another reason not to pay for it! @RadioPal1580 @RadioRandy777 @sportscloud @SBergerBOSTON @BoogiePhoenix @smac500 @JustTheTip_18 @FishTank414 @DTE3 @chief_skol @goodcat_PT @averagejoeinaz @TheJimP19 https://t.co/xGIlxtBZuj

Guess I better breakdown how much I spend on basketball subscriptions per year.

Just odd for a service to raise prices when they remove all on-demand content and take away a lot of the positive allure of their product… https://t.co/PNN7B5cW6Q

Considering they’re about to lose MLS and they already lost Serie A, this is really Bundesliga/German Soccers big chance to be the number one option here. And that can’t happen without making 2.Bundesliga/Pokal games more accessible. Even get Frauen Bundesliga rights. https://t.co/jddnZ3IKL8

ESPN announced that ESPN+ would officially launch in 2018 and confirmed its $4.99 per-month pricing. As you can see, it has already had a price bump from when it first started.

If things stay on course, then another one should be coming in 2024.
