<p>Streaming service competitors Apple TV+ and <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/channels/paramount-plus-soccer-schedule/">Paramount+</a> may soon become available in a bundle. The bundle would allow subscribers to gain access to the two platforms at a reduced cost. Currently, Apple TV+ is $9.99 per month. Paramount+ is slightly cheaper at $5.99 per month. There is also an ad-free option for Paramount+ that is $11.99. The combined price of the bundle would, therefore, be under the cost of $22 for each month.</p>



<p>The <em><a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/apple-and-paramount-discuss-bundling-their-streaming-services-226972d1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wall Street Journal</a></em> says talks between Apple and Paramount are still in the preliminary stages. There are limited details on what a deal between the two would look like. However, this does not indicate Paramount and Apple are merging.</p>



<p>Previously, there had been musings of Apple linking with other streaming services. For example, Apple had links with purchasing ESPN from Disney. This potential bundle between Apple TV+ and Paramount+ is just a way for both services to build their subscriber base and retain users.</p>

<p>Apple and Paramount have worked together in the past, too, on something identical to this bundle. In 2021, Apple TV+ subscribers could subscribe to Showtime and CBS All Access at a 50% discounted rate. </p>



<h2>Apple TV+ bundle with Paramount+ may help it catch up</h2>



<p>That bundle in 2021 came just two years after Apple TV+ launched. Over two years later, Apple TV+ is still fighting an uphill battle to make a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tv/paramount-and-apple-tv-increase-market-share-20231016-WST-462414.html">dent in the streaming market</a> in the United States. Both Apple TV+ and Paramount+ have a market share of less than 10%. Even combined, Apple TV+ and Paramount+ have less of a market share than Max, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. However, both sides have increased their breakthrough into the streaming market in 2023. Both of these services increased their market share by 1%. </p>



<p>For sports fans, this is also a way to get Apple TV+ for cheaper, even if the Apple service does not have live sports. Apple does have the rights to Major League Soccer. However, MLS Season Pass is separate from a subscription to Apple TV+. Users of Apple’s service do get a discount on watching MLS Season Pass. Still, it is a separate payment of $12.99 per month even with Apple TV+.</p>

<p>Therefore, a discounted subscription to Paramount+ is a great offer for soccer fans who may also want Apple TV+ for its other content. Paramount+ has live coverage of the <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/champions-league-tv-schedule/">UEFA Champions League</a>, <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/serie-a-tv-schedule/">Serie A</a>, international competitions and more. It is one of the biggest necessities for soccer fans in the United States.</p>



<h2>Apple doing other things to grow audience</h2>



<p>If adding the sports repertoire of Paramount+ is one step Apple is taking to boost the streaming audience, it is doing the same elsewhere. Apple put some of its original films in theaters before bringing them back to the streaming service exclusively. For example, <em>Killers of the Flower Moon</em> and <em>Napoleon</em> are both Apple movies that are raking in money in movie theaters. Then, these movies will come to Apple TV+, where more people will look to stream them.</p>



<p>With Apple also looking to add other sports properties, including rumors of the Bundesliga or Formula 1, the streaming service could be making waves in the sports world soon.</p>

Apple, Paramount+ in talks to sell bundle for streaming services

Streaming service competitors Apple TV+ and Paramount+ may soon come available in a bundle at a discounted price.

<p><a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" target="blank" rel="noopener"></a></p><div><figure class="image"><a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" target="blank" rel="noopener"></a></figure></div><p></p>
<p>Now that ESPN+ is $9.99, many people may be curious how to get the Disney Bundle. For just $4 more per month, the content available in the bundle makes it more logical for subscribers.</p>
<p>Not everyone would use each of the services included. However, the bundle used to be $7 more per month. That does not make much sense, especially if you are devoted solely to sports, not movies and TV shows. Yet, the price difference between ESPN+ and the Disney Bundle is now just $4 per month.</p>
<p>That $4 provides access to Hulu and Disney+, which feature TV shows, documentaries, movies and other more ‘traditional’ forms of entertainment.</p>
<p>Interestingly, there are people that believe the jump in price for ESPN+ is a ploy to push more subscribers on to the Disney Bundle. To be fair, ESPN+’s content does not see any major jumps. The <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/08/19/espn-plus-renews-eredivisie-rights-to-continue-showing-dutch-soccer/">Dutch Eredivisie</a> and the <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/2022/07/25/espn-english-championship-deal/">English Football League</a> had rights renewed with ESPN+ in the last month. However, ESPN+ was already the home of these leagues for American viewers.</p>
<p>At the same time, the <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" target="blank" rel="noopener">Disney Bundle</a>, which does include ESPN+, does not see any price increase. So, here is how you can get the bundle to open up new programs while also retaining ESPN+.</p>
<h3>How to get the Disney Bundle</h3>
<p>If you do not have ESPN+ already, then subscribing to the bundle is fairly straightforward. The subscription is $13.99 per month, and that provides access to <a href="https:\/\/worldsoccertalk.com/providers/disney-plus/">Disney+</a>, ESPN+ and Hulu. As of now, those services cost $7.99, $9.99 and $6.99 each per month, respectively. In total, that is just under $25 per month. With the Disney Bundle for $13.99 per month, you save $11 per month when you get the Disney Bundle.</p>

<p>Now, you may be thinking that you do not need those other options. However, perhaps your family does have interest in the content on Hulu or Disney+. With the Disney Bundle, one $13.99 subscription per month allows four devices to use the bundle simultaneously.</p>
<p>The base fee for the Disney Bundle is $13.99. There is also a price plan that has the ad-free version of Hulu. This is $19.99 per month, which matches the individual $6 increase between Hulu and Hulu without ads.</p>
<p>If you already have ESPN+, here’s how to <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/863124/9070" rel="noopener" target="_blank">upgrade your account to the Disney Bundle</a>.</p>
<h5>Available content</h5>
<p>As stated, the plethora of content you would have access to is perhaps not for everybody. Some people dedicate their entertainment to sports only. Regardless, the <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/c/330866/865651/9070" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Disney Bundle</a> is a small jump in price from <a href="https:\/\/go.web.plus.espn.com/mWebq" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ESPN+</a> on its own. Effectively, you gain access to&nbsp;<em>both&nbsp;</em>Hulu and Disney+ for half of what those services cost individually.</p>
<p>Disney+ lives up to its name. With new series, movies and documentaries debuting regularly, Disney+ is perfect for families. Plus, it has Star Wars, the Marvel universe and plenty of other content outside of its stereotypical ‘children’s’ content.</p>
<p>Similarly, Hulu carries a wide variety of content that differs in genre and its target audiences. Hulu produces its own content, such as The Handmaid’s Tale, Run or Little Flies Everywhere. Plus, Hulu allows people to watch shows on FX the day after their air live. Therefore, if you are keeping an eye out for the upcoming soccer documentary Welcome to Wrexham, Hulu will have the show on the Thursday after each episode airs Wednesday night.</p>


In the wake of ESPN+'s latest price increase, many people want to know how to get the Disney Bundle to save money and get new content.
