At long last, ESPN has chosen a name for its upcoming all-access streaming service.

Ready?

It’s “ESPN.”

Disney’s sports media division will announce the new — and also sort of old — name for the all-access streaming application at a media event next week, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be named speaking about not-yet-public details. A Disney spokesperson declined to comment.

Disney executives have referred to the streaming product, which is expected to cost $25 or $30 a month, as “flagship” internally for the past two years as they have developed the service. It will consist of everything ESPN has to offer, including all games; programming on other ESPN cable networks such as ESPN2 and the SEC Network; ESPN on ABC; fantasy products; new betting tie-ins; studio programming; documentaries and more.

I am surprised they didn't lean into ESPN+ and will keep it as a separate product. I am guessing intro pricing at $19.99; but that is just a guess.
