New Packages and Offerings
As part of the agreement, DirecTV subscribers can now choose from various package options that include Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Plus, along with future offerings from Disney’s upcoming flagship direct-to-consumer service at no added cost. The new collaboration aims to provide tailored service options across multiple genres, including sports, entertainment, and kids & family.
