The network plans to entirely shift the content to streaming through the new service. Once the standalone streaming service goes live, ESPN will still be available on traditional TV platforms, giving tough competition to cable providers. As of now, the project is code-named 'Flagship'. Disney and ESPN have been planning to launch a standalone service for a while now. Both companies are now finally putting the plan into action.
