FAMU, and other HBCU football fans, looking to catch football games on ESPN+ this fall will have shell out a bit more money this year, as the monthly price of ESPN+ will jump from $6.99 to $9.99 per month. In addition, the price for the annual plan will increase from $69.99 to $99.99.
The new rates take effect on August 23rd. The steep 43% increase is the second subscription price hike in a little more than a year.
ESPN says, "the change reflects the significantly increased scope, scale and value of ESPN+ as we continue to add significantly to both live sports and original programs and series, and it is part of an established plan to ensure ESPN+ is a profitable and strong long-term business."
