I'm not sure I understand the difference in this offering. Is this basically just live-streaming the linear channels?

Yes, this will be a full streaming service with the linear channels included. ESPN+ doesn’t include the linear channels

But do you get ESPN+ as well, or is it just the linear?

The unlimited package has ESPN+ included. For a cord cutter like me, this works. I have the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ bundle now. I'll just shift that over to the ESPN one since it's only $8 more a month.

You get everything that came with ESPN+ and the linear channels.

There’s also going to be a limited $11.99 version which seems to just be ESPN+ going to a new price

Okay, so it's either "ESPN+" alone or "ESPN" that includes both linear and plus? I think they are making this confusing. Not that I care, I rarely even watch sports.

ESPN Unlimited Plan = All Linear channels that ESPN offers as well everything currently on ESPN+

ESPN Select Plan = ESPN+

So, there is no "ESPN+" standalone plan at all? Confusing indeed.

The ESPN Select plan is the new naming convention for ESPN+.

That’s literally the only change, ESPN+ still has a standalone offering as laid out in the press release shared previously, it’s just going by a different name.

ESPN+ has become the ESPN Select Plan and is $11.99 as a standalone service

Okay, so, confusing. Got it. Good luck to them on that.
