One streaming option for SEC football fans will be a bit more expensive this fall. It was widely reported Friday that Disney will soon be raising the price of ESPN+. Starting Aug. 23, ESPN+ will cost $9.99 per month, up from the current price of $6.99, per CNBC. The annual subscription cost will be $99.99, up from $69.99.

There will be streaming-only SEC football games this fall that can be viewed on ESPN+ or SEC Network+. Subscriptions to SEC Network through cable, satellite or streaming providers include access to SEC Network+.

From the SEC website last year on ESPN+ and SEC Network+ games:

Q: If a game is airing on both SEC Network+ and ESPN+ simultaneously, where do I watch?
A: Both streams will be available in the ESPN App. SEC Network authenticated subscribers of AT&T TV, Cox, DIRECTV, DISH Network, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Optimum, Sling TV, Spectrum TV, Suddenlink, Verizon Fios, Xfinity TV, YouTube TV, Vidgo, members of the NCTC, as well as those with access to SEC Network through TV connected devices, can watch the game via SEC Network+. If you do not have access to SEC Network, you can access games via a subscription to ESPN+.

Q: ESPN+ is a paid subscription. Do I have to pay separately to access SEC Network+?
A: No. SEC Network+ is complementary to SEC Network and part of your subscription with your cable, satellite, or streaming provider.

Q: If a game is on ESPN+ or SEC Network+, can I watch it on TV?
A: SEC Network+ and ESPN+ are not television channels, but they are available via the ESPN App on your TV through connected streaming services and devices.

Q: Will the games on SEC Network+ and ESPN+ look any different?
A: These games will have the same production value as games across all ESPN networks. For games airing simultaneously on SEC Network+ and ESPN+, both feeds will have the same on-air commentators and game coverage.
