Main difference

  • ESPN Unlimited includes all the major ESPN networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPN Deportes, plus ESPN on ABC and ESPN+ content.
  • ESPN Select gives you ESPN+ content only, so it is narrower and does not include the full set of ESPN channels.

  • ESPN Unlimited is priced at $29.99/month or $299.99/year.
  • ESPN Select is priced at $12.99/month or $129.99/year.

What you get

  • Unlimited is best if you want major live sports and the cable-like ESPN experience, including big events and the main ESPN channels.
  • Select is better if you mainly want the extra ESPN+ streaming catalog and lower-cost access to some exclusive games and studio content.

Simple way to think about it

  • Select = ESPN+ only.
  • Unlimited = ESPN+ plus the full ESPN channel family.
