Last week, we learned that Verizon will soon increase the prices for its Disney Plus, ESPN, and Hulu perks , with plan add-ons increasing by a buck or two per month starting in September. Now, ESPN has announced that its streaming subscriptions and the bundles they’re included in will be going up in price for everyone, not just Verizon subscribers.

As we’ve learned from 9to5Mac , ESPN has announced price hikes for its ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited streaming plans. Select is increasing from $13 to $14 per month (or $140 per year, up from $130), while Unlimited is jumping from $30 to $32 per month (or $320 per year, from $300). Bundles including ESPN along with Disney Plus and Hulu are going up, too.

The bundle including Disney Plus and Hulu with ads along with the ESPN Select plan will cost $22 per month, up from $20. The version that includes ad-free Disney and Hulu streaming with ESPN Select will increase from $30 to $33 per month. Pricing is even going up for subscribers with the legacy version of that second plan, which is no longer available for new customers: it’s increasing $25 to $28 per month.

Prices for streaming services have been on the rise lately. Spotify , Netflix , Peacock , Apple Music , and more have raised fees this year, in tandem with steadily increasing sticker prices on hardware from smartphones to game consoles (and pretty much everything else, for that matter).

There is a slight silver lining in the case of ESPN Unlimited in particular, at least for some subscribers. While standalone ESPN Unlimited subscriptions are increasing in price next month, bundles including Unlimited won’t be affected by this round of price hikes. These changes take effect starting on September 17.
