Here is everything you need to know about the ESPN streaming service, including the plans that are currently available for subscribers.

Bob Iger, Disney CEO, and Jimmy Pitaro, ESPN chairman, join CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to discuss ESPN's new direct-to-consumer platform, how the success of the app will be measured, and much more.

A new feature called “StreamCenter” will sync a user’s ESPN app and TV, allowing viewers to follow real-time stats, betting odds and shopping deals alongside a sporting event. The synced-up platforms will also enable viewers to use their mobile device as a secondary controller for the program that appears on their TV screen, the company said.

After years of being asked how it would respond to the streaming explosion, ESPN is finally unveiling a new direct-to-consumer app designed to offer its clearest answer yet to that existential question.

Fueled by its massive array of rights deals, the brand (which launches Aug. 21) is being counted on to boost daily engagement with Disney's flagship streamer, reduce churn and draw sports fans to sign up.

ESPN boss Jimmy Pitaro talks about balancing streaming vs. cable, the rise of sports betting, and diversity in the Trump 2.0 era.

The Hulu app won't be around too much longer, but the service will live on, Disney announced Wednesday. Disney will be "fully integrating" Hulu into its Disney+ service, the company revealed at its quarterly earnings meetings.

ESPN has agreements with several cable TV distributors to provide full access to the new app on launch through authentication, including Charter, Verizon, and DirecTV. Hulu + Live TV and Fubo, both now owned by Disney, will also provide access to ESPN’s new service for no additional charge.
