Amazon in Talks to Offer ESPN’s Streaming Service via Prime Video, Potential for Minority Stake

Amazon is reportedly engaged in discussions with Disney regarding the possibility of incorporating ESPN’s upcoming streaming service into its Prime Video platform. As part of the negotiations, Amazon could also be considering acquiring a minority stake in ESPN. While these reports come from sources familiar with the situation, it’s important to approach the information with caution until confirmed.

The potential collaboration would involve a fully fledged streaming product from ESPN, which could be offered through Prime Video. Unlike the existing ESPN Plus service, which provides access to a limited selection of sports games and content, this new offering would aim to mirror the comprehensive cable experience provided by ESPN.
