Here's how much it costs to bundle ESPN and Fox's new streaming services
ESPN and Fox are teaming up to offer a bundle of their forthcoming streaming services for a combined price of $39.99, the companies announced Monday.
The bundle is set to become available on Oct. 2.
That's a little over a month after ESPN is scheduled to release a new service that houses all of its networks' live sports and studio programming on Aug. 21.
Fox One — a streaming service that houses Fox Sports, Fox News and other Fox Corporation brands — is also scheduled to debut on Aug. 21.
Both are set to be among the more expensive streaming services, with ESPN to cost $29.99 per month and Fox One to cost $19.99 per month without the bundle.
Other streaming services that offer live sports include Amazon Prime, which costs $14.99 per month; Peacock, which is $10.99; Apple TV+, which is $9.99; Paramount+, which starts at $7.99; NFL+, which starts $6.99; and Netflix, whose plans range from $7.99 to $24.99.
Of course, different services offer different programming, which contributes to a common complaint among sports fans who pay for numerous services in order to watch games.
For example, a cord-cutting customer who sought to stream NFL games on a given week would pay at least $84 per month if they subscribed separately to ESPN, Fox One, Paramount+, Peacock and Prime.
Bundling ESPN and Fox One would drop that sum to $74.
That scenario doesn't account for NFL+, which streams NFL Network games, or Netflix, which will air two games on Christmas Day.
Most of those services offer more than sports, while ESPN, which is owned by Disney, is home to the NBA playoffs, 'Monday Night Football' and the SEC and ACC Networks, among other entities.
'Working with Fox One on this bundle offer allows us to bring ESPN's world-class sports content to even more fans in a seamless and innovative way,' Sean Breen, the EVP of Disney Platform Distribution, said in a statement.
'This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering premium experiences across platforms and meeting consumers where they are — anytime, anywhere.'
Last year, Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery — which owns TNT Sports — announced plans to launch a joint sports streaming service called Venu, but the project was canceled in January. Venu had been tabbed at $42.99 per month.

Cowboys Training Camp: Takeaways from Practice 14, Oxnard is Over, update on Diggs injury
The Dallas Cowboys have concluded their final West Coast practice of the 2025 calendar, and they are set to pack up and return to Texas in advance of their second preseason game. The Baltimore Ravens will meet them in Arlington for a Saturday night matchup, but aside from a walkthrough and some media availability on Thursday, it's a wrap on yet another four-week stint on Oxnard, CA. Wednesday's practice was highlighted by a sensational interception by a defensive lineman, giving some hints as far as what can be expected once the games count, as the Cowboys' new coaching staff continues to commit to the hide-and-no-seek mantra when it comes to what they'll reveal during the exhibition season. Here are the biggest takeaways from the final training camp practice of 2025. Sam Williams' Pick-6 Late in practice, working on goal-line situations, Dak Prescott was intercepted by defensive end Sam Williams. Williams returned the interception the entire length of the field for a Practice Pick-6. That's Dante Fowler (13) lined up wide of right tackle Terence Steele. Rookie DE Donovan Ezeiruaku (41) is standing up in the C gap and DT Solomon Thomas in the A gap. On the OL's left side, that's Mazi Smith (58) and Marshawn Kneeland (94) taking on the LG and LT, with Kenneth Murray (59) and finally Williams (54). Running Back Depth Chart According to Dallas News' Calvin Watkins, the running back pecking order seems to be settling in. Vaughn got first-team reps again. But as camp is on the cusp of closing, it seems Javonte Williams has the lead as the Week 1 starter at running back. The backup is between Hunter Luepke, Jaydon Blue and Miles Sanders. Injury Updates LT Tyler Guyton (broken knee) began working on the resistance cords on Wednesday, per ESPN's Todd Archer RB Miles Sanders (knee) returned to team drills DE Payton Turner (ribs) returned to practice RB Jaydon Blue still isn't practicing with his knee/ankle issue Trevon Diggs has ramped up to daily sessions with trainer Britt Brown, also doing ball drills Steal of the draft? The Cowboys double-dipped at running back in the spring, taking two on Day 3 in fifth-round pick Jaydon Blue and seventh-round pick Phil Mafah. Mickey Spagnola had an interesting tidbit on Wednesday that may help explain how a battering ram like Mafah fell that far despite having back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons at Clemson. In an extremely deep running back class, Mafah played his final year in college with a torn labrum, and wasn't able to work out for teams in the pre-draft process. There's an assumption the Cowboys are going to carry both veteran RBs they signed this summer, but that may not be the case. MIcah Check Still no update on renewed contract talks between Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons, both who brushed off questions about progress or trade talk.

More US companies skip lender consent to add on debt, Moody's says
By Matt Tracy (Reuters) -A growing number of U.S. companies are seeking more flexible covenants in their credit agreements to increase their debt loads while avoiding approvals from all their existing lenders, according to a new report by ratings agency Moody's Ratings. Moody's said in a report released on Thursday that U.S. corporate borrowers with weaker credit profiles were leaning harder on their lenders to get more flexibility in agreements to take out more debt without full consent from existing lenders, as they struggled to issue new debt in public markets. Shop Top Mortgage Rates A quicker path to financial freedom Personalized rates in minutes Your Path to Homeownership Deals with covenant changes that ensured a boost to a company's capacity to raise more debt - whether for opportunistic purposes or to avoid liquidity crunches - amounted to as much as 40% to 300% of their EBITDA, according to Moody's. Such dramatic debt load increases present a major credit risk to existing lenders, especially when borrowers' private equity sponsors use the added debt for dividend recaps, add-ons and acquisitions, the ratings agency noted. Borrowers on several recent deals have sought more flexible covenants to allow this greater debt capacity, it said, adding that 10%, or nine of 89 credit agreements, have done so between the start of 2024 and May 2025. All of the 10% involved PE-backed borrowers, the report noted. They included the initial proposed term sheets for debt that was funding PE firm Turn/River Capital's leveraged buyout of IT systems provider SolarWinds in March, and KKR's leveraged buyout in May of derivatives market software provider OSTTRA. These recent deals point to a growing trend of borrowers' "unfettered access" to debt, even those in financial distress, Moody's highlighted, as lenders in the public debt market face ever fiercer competition from lenders in the expanding private credit market.

Royals Rumblings – News for August 14, 2025
While they still won the series, the Royals felt they let the sweep get away from them: 'Every game is critical, obviously,' Royals outfielder Kyle Isbel said. 'We are at that time of the year. We are hoping to get hot and win a lot of games. It's a big homestand coming up and we just gotta keep rolling.' The Royals fell short in an 8-7 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday, sliding another half-game behind the Yankees in the wild-card chase. For KC (60-61), the deficit could grow further, as the Yankees faced the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night. 'We had a really nice opportunity today to come out and start this homestand with a sweep …' Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino said. 'At the end of the day, we won the series. So that's a net positive. Just stings a little bit when the game goes like that to finish out the series.' With Michael Lorenzen returning from injury, the Royals are reshuffling their pitching staff: 'Just trying to put the best rotation out there right now and also give us the best chance to match up out of the 'pen and give us a little depth,' Quatraro said of Falter's transition to the bullpen. Bergert and Falter were two of the pitchers the Royals acquired at the Trade Deadline, with Bergert (and righty Stephen Kolek, who is in Triple-A) coming from the Padres and Falter from the Pirates. Both immediately slotted into the Royals' rotation because of the three starters on the injured list at the time in Lorenzen, Cole Ragans and Kris Bubic. Kevin O'Brien at the Royals Reporter looks at Kansas City's baserunning woes struggles this season compared to last: The most significant difference from this season's squad is Maikel, who created 7.6 total baserunning runs last year. That is an 8.3-run difference from 2025, which demonstrates how far Garcia has slid on the basepaths, a primary strength of his in 2024. The Venezuelan infielder was not just good at gaining extra bases on hits (2.6 run value), but he was sensational on stolen bases. His 5.1 stolen base run value was not only the best mark on the team, but it was 1.4 runs better than Dairon Blanco, who had the second-best mark, and 4.5 runs better than Witt, who had the third-best mark. Salvador Perez and other catchers dished on the physical grind of the position: To Langeliers, for example, the worst place to be hit is the top of the knee, just above the edge of the shin guard. Hearing his fellow catcher's testimony, Perez rolled up his right pant leg to reveal a large, dark bruise in the middle of a tattoo on his thigh. 'I got one,' Perez proclaimed. He'd suffered it two days earlier, and although the pain had faded, the mark remained from an impact that Huff likened to taking a punch — without consent or preparation. In defiance of his father, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is swinging significantly less this season. The Pohlads won't sell the Minnesota Twins after all. Milwaukee has run their win streak to 12 games. How much trouble are the New York Yankees and Mets in after their recent struggles? Rookie Cade Horton has brought stability to a depleted Cubs rotation. After not being granted time, White Sox prospect George Wolkow swung the bat with one hand and hit a single. Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya was carted off the field in last night's win. Dodgers right-handed pitcher Brock Stewart is headed to the IL with a shoulder injury. Houston left-handed pitcher Josh Hader is headed to the IL with a shoulder injury. Shohei Ohtani and his agent are facing a lawsuit over allegedly sabotaging a real estate deal in Hawaii. Is it animal abuse to dress up a dog for money outside an MLB ballpark?
