Quick verdict
ESPN Unlimited (Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle) costs $14.99/mo standalone, $20.99/mo bundle, and covers UFC, college football, MLS, La Liga, plus the rebranded ESPN linear network for the first time in 2025. But it does NOT carry: NFL Sunday Ticket, NBA League Pass, full Premier League, or World Cup 2026 (those go to FOX/Telemundo). IPTV4WorldCup covers EVERYTHING ESPN does plus all those gaps, in 4K, for $7.50/mo on annual.
