Today, Disney has announced that it has teamed up with SiriusXM to offer select SiriusXM subscribers in the United States can now get up to a 6-month subscription to ESPN+.  New and existing ESPN+ subscribers in the United States will also be eligible to get a 6-month subscription to SiriusXM’s streaming-only service beginning later this month.

Through this offer, ESPN+ subscribers will be able to access SiriusXM’s full library of content on the SiriusXM app, including hundreds of expertly curated, ad-free music channels, the most extensive lineup of live pro and college sporting events in audio, and more than 20 sports-focused channels that deliver reactions and analysis from industry experts and insiders 24/7. They’ll also be able to stay informed and entertained with the latest in news and politics, entertainment, comedy, and beyond with celebrity interviews, iconic hosts, trusted opinions, non-stop laughs, and so much more, available only on SiriusXM.

Eligible SiriusXM subscribers, beginning with Platinum VIP and expanding to additional tiers next month, can access ESPN+, the No. 1 sports streaming platform, where they can view thousands of live sports events and replays, on-demand original content, premium articles, and more. ESPN+ offers sports fans more than 32,000 live sports events each year, including exclusive UFC events; more than 50 exclusive and 1,000 out-of-market NHL games per season; college sports including football, basketball and nearly a dozen other sports from 20 conferences, top domestic and international soccer, golf, Top Rank Boxing, Grand Slam tennis, MLB games, international cricket, exclusive ESPN+ Original series and studio shows, and access to the entire library of ESPN’s award-winning 30 for 30 films.

Sean Breen, Executive Vice President, Platform Distribution, Disney Entertainment and ESPN, said in a statement:

“Collaborating with SiriusXM on this offer will not only provide ESPN+ subscribers with access to their vast entertainment offerings, but it also opens the door for SiriusXM customers to experience our premium sports content on ESPN+.  This deal underscores our commitment to providing consumers with unparalleled access to best-in-class programming spanning all genres and interests.”

Jeff Dallesandro, Senior Vice President, Streaming Distribution Partnerships, SiriusXM, added:

“ESPN and SiriusXM are powerhouses in sports news and entertainment, and we’re thrilled to expand upon our longstanding relationship with this new agreement.  Designed to bring listeners and viewers closer to the personalities, players, teams and leagues they love by combining both SiriusXM’s and ESPN+’s live sports programming, exclusive analysis, and extensive on-demand content, this collaboration will deliver value for fans while also potentially driving growth for each brand.”

Throughout this college football season, ESPN and SiriusXM are also teaming up to deliver great programming to fans on ESPN Radio’s College Campus tour. The tour features ESPN Radio and SiriusXM College Sports Radio shows broadcasting live on Saturday mornings from a customized Airstream trailer at prime tailgating locations. ESPN Radio and SiriusXM hosts will be at some of the season’s biggest college football matchups, including this Saturday’s SEC matchup between Texas and Vanderbilt in Nashville.

Roger’s Take: This feels like a good offer for both ESPN and SiriusXM subscribers, since it goes both way and is a nice bonus.  Later this year, ESPN+ content will also be available through the new ESPN hub within Disney+, so it’s likely that more people will be checking out ESPN content in the future, so it might be worth checking out if you are eligible.
