Hi everyone!

Thanks for the posts.

Please be advised that $69.99 is the new yearly cost for ESPN Plus after the upcoming price change. The messaging in the email should read as 'yearly' and NOT 'monthly'. We apologize for the confusion that this issue has caused you.

We appreciate your understanding.

All the best,
Kariza

Where are you paying for the WatchESPN app?

There is a subscription service called ESPN Plus that can be watched on the ESPN (not WatchESPN) app on Roku. The ESPN Plus service is upping its price from $5.99/month, $59.99/year to $6.99/month, $69.99/year. Since that message called the app by the old/wrong name, perhaps it also got the term of the $69.99 price wrong.

Got an email today that Roku will be charging my account $69.99 per month for ESPN Plus. When I bought it for the UFC fight this last weekend I paid $59.99 for an annual fee. How does this go from annual to monthly in 3 days? Is this a typo from Roku?

I just received the same email...I paid in full last ufc fight. Not sure what's going on but not happy at all. Hopefully they'll catch their mistake and fix this.

ESPN Plus recently did announce a price increase.  Looks like a simple lack of proofreading.  This has got to be the new ESPN Plus annual rate.

Well I was charged the updated price on July 9th when my renewal was up , now they are telling me I’m being charged AGAIN on the 13th because of a mistake. I will not be double charged for a annual renewal in the same year. I need to speak to someone NOW !
