<p>For soccer fans, a streaming playing device is something such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV stick, Apple TV or something similar. In each of these cases, these are practically smart TVs that can hook up to anything with an HDMI port.</p>
<p>What makes these devices special is the fact that they allow access to the wide variety of streaming services. In the United States, soccer fans require subscriptions to four different providers just to watch the top five leagues in Europe. After that, other leagues in Europe are spread out. However, more often than not, the best streaming playing devices still carry those platforms.</p>
<p>It makes it easy for soccer fans to watch multiple leagues. In fact, many Americans opt for these streaming playing devices because of how easy it is to switch between something like Paramount+ and ESPN+. All it takes is a handful of clicks with the remote, and paid-subscriptions to the services, to watch all your favorite soccer leagues.</p>
<h3>The best streaming playing device for soccer</h3>
<p>Of course, the best way to have input into which one of these is the best is to use them all. In the effort to save some money, few people have that experience. However, these are fairly frequent items.</p>
<p>Speaking anecdotally, I use an <a href="https:\/\/amzn.to/3PvT5Mr" target="_new" rel="noopener">Apple TV</a> in the living room on a <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2020/09/21/roku-adds-peacock-tv-app-to-bring-premier-league-matches-into-more-homes/">Roku</a> TV. Therefore, if I use the smart TV portion of the Roku, I have access to the streaming playing aspect of that device. At the same time, one simple input change allows me to use the Apple TV. Therefore, I can speak for those two.</p>
<p>Personally, I find the Apple TV to be better. Yet, much of that stems from the fact that it is controllable via my phone. Passwords, changes in application, familiarity and more are reasons why the Apple TV suits my uses for watching soccer.</p>
<p>Even then, there are perfectly good reasons why the <a href="https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net/click-5531305-11715039" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Roku</a>, <a href="https:\/\/amzn.to/3vaHuu6" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Amazon Fire TV stick</a> or <a href="https:\/\/store.google.com/us/product/chromecast?pli=1&amp;hl=en-US" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chromecast</a> may be your favorite to use.</p>
<p>Knowing that, we want to know your opinion. Much of that is influenced by your use of one of these. However, if you have experience, be sure to tell why you like, or dislike, using a certain streaming playing device like the ones listed above.</p>

<p>ESPN+ is about to undergo yet another price increase for subscribers.</p>
<p>Starting on August 23, the price of <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN+</a> jumps up to $9.99 per month. There is also an annual option that comes in at a price point of $99.99.</p>
<p>Back when the services started in 2018, the cost was just $4.99 per month. As of now, that price is $6.99 monthly, with an annual option of $69.99. The jump from that up to $9.99 is an increase of 43%. This is a bold move considering the fact that many Americans are acting more fiscally conservative given the economic climate.</p>
<p>However, some estimate the jump in price to be a bump in the direction of users signing up for the <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Disney Bundle</a>. At a price of $13.99 per month, this service provides access to ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu. There are no plans in place to increase the price of the Disney bundle, making it just $4 more than ESPN+ on its own.</p>
<p>Over recent months, the <a href="https:\/\/www.statista.com/statistics/1054451/espn-plus-subscriber-us/">subscriber count on ESPN+</a> saw a steady rise. at the end of fiscal quarter two in 2021, the service pulled 13.8 million subscribers. One year later, ESPN+ has a subscriber count of over 22 million subscribers.</p>
<h3>ESPN+ price rising again</h3>
<p>ESPN+ claims that its reasoning for raising the price is increased content. With coverage of MLS, the NHL, PGA Tour and a number of college sports on the platform, there is clearly much to choose from. In fact, that does not include <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/watch-soccer-via-espn-plus/">the plethora of soccer</a> outside MLS. Coverage of LaLiga, Bundesliga, English Championship and more. Of course, ESPN no longer holds the rights to any of the men’s international tournaments. This includes past coverage of the World Cup, European Championship and more no longer appearing on ESPN.</p>
<p>ESPN does have more plans for the platform. This fall, there is set to be an exclusive NFL fixture on ESPN+ from Wembley Stadium on October 8. This, combined with increases in programming costs by 48% to $454 million per quarter, contributes to the ESPN+ rise in prices.</p>


ESPN+ price increase has occurred. With more content and higher production costs, we have the details about the new pricing plans.
