The short answer
ESPN* PLUS represents a monthly ($11.99) or annual ($119.99) standalone sports streaming subscription from ESPN and Disney.
Understanding your ESPN+ charge
A charge marked ESPN* PLUS on your billing statement indicates an active standalone ESPN+ Sports Streaming membership billed by ESPN Inc. / The Walt Disney Company. ESPN+ provides live coverage of college football and international soccer, alongside exclusive studio analysis and original sports documentaries. While sports fans frequently bundle this service with Hulu or Disney Plus, an explicit ESPN descriptor signifies that your account was set up as an independent subscription directly through ESPN rather than as a consolidated Disney bundle invoice.
This debit recurs automatically every thirty days at $11.99 or annually at $119.99 unless cancelled ahead of time. Many cardholders activate an ESPN+ plan to watch a specific sporting event, such as a regional college game or an exclusive tennis broadcast, only to forget that the service continues billing on a recurring schedule. Spikes in the billed amount can also happen if someone in your residence ordered an exclusive pay-per-view event, such as a UFC main card, which charges directly to the payment method on file.
To cancel or verify your subscription status, sign in to your profile at plus.espn.com and navigate to Account Details to manage your active plan. If your subscription was initiated through a third-party mobile or connected television service like Apple Subscriptions or Google Play, you will need to cancel recurring billing through that platform's subscription hub. If no one in your home watches sports and you did not sign up for the platform, notify your credit card issuer to dispute the unauthorized charge and block further transactions.
